Well, in an announcement that surprised nobody, the Police have been confirmed as the headliners of the final night of next year's Isle of Wight Festival. That's Sunday 15 June 2008, if you're so inclined to put it in your calender.

According to the festival organisers, this will be Sting and co.'s only UK festival appearance in 2008. Thank God for that - the last thing we need is them taking up any more valuable headlining slots that could go to Rage Against The Machine. Or dozens of other, less boring acts.

Tickets for the festival go on sale on December 10.
