Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern has been confirmed as one of the acts performing on the main stage at this year's Isle Of Wight Festival.
Promoter John Giddings promised to roll out the red carpet for the actress, who plays the Countess of Grantham in the ITV1 period drama.
McGovern, 50, will be singing with rock band Big Country, whose hits include In a Big Country and Fields of Fire. She said: "I am thrilled to be playing with such a stellar cast of musicians." McGovern has her own band called Sadie and the Hotheads, who are also to perform at the festival.
Tony Butler from Big Country said: "We had a tradition of working with great female vocalists such as Kate Bush and Eddi Reader in the past, so having the opportunity to have Elizabeth perform with us at the IOW is going to be really cool."
