Rolling Stones To Rock Wight

For those of you joining us from the UK, here’s some good news. The Rolling Stones will return to live duty with a June 10 headlining appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival.

The rock band has not played a UK festival since the Knebworth Fair way back in 1976.  Since the Stones have some shows from last summer’s European tour to make up, it looks like this festival will be a start.

The Isle of Wight Festival will begin June 8th.  The roster includes Snow Patrol, hard rockers Muse, bad girl Amy Winehouse, Keane, and Wolfmother among others.

In other Stones news, frontman Mick Jagger is teaming with director Martin Scorsese to produce the music business-centered film ‘The Long Play.’ Meanwhile, Scorsese`s as yet-untitled Stones documentary, including footage filmed last fall at New York`s Beacon Theatre, is due for release in the fall.
