Red Hot Chili Peppers to headline Isle of Wight Festival 2014 The Californian quartet, whose songs include Under the Bridge and Californication, will top the music festival's bill on the Saturday night. Biffy Clyro and Calvin Harris will headline on the Friday and Sunday, respectively.

We intend to make it really special. READ: Isle of Wight Festival 2013, review Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea. In the last 30 years, their sound has evolved from raw funk to a more melodic rock sound. The band have sold 80 million records worldwide, won seven Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Their last album, 2011's I'm With You, reached number one on the UK chart. Isle of Wight promoter John Giddings called the group "one of the most exciting bands of the modern era," and said they could be "a highlight in the music history of the festival." Isle of Wight Festival 2014 will take place from June 12-15, at Seaclose Park. Last year's festival was headlined by The Stone Roses and The Killers. READ: Isle of Wight Festival history
