The Welsh rock band will be top billing on 2 September, making their first-ever appearance in the island.

Kelly Jones, Richard Jones, Adam Zindani and Jamie Morrison – have sold over 10 million records, and have now reached Number 1 with 8 of their 12 studio albums, after their latest release ‘Oochya’ went straight to the top of the album charts back in March.

The band will be supported by UK Eurovision star Sam Ryder who came second to Ukraine at the competition in Turin this month performing his number 2 hit Space Man.

Sam Ryder is currently number 2 in the UK Singles Chart after giving the country its best Eurovision score in decades

Manchester indie-pop group Pale Waves are also lined-up to perform.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (27 May).
