Wilko Johnson, the legendary guitarist of 70s Rock band Dr Feelgood and founding father of the British punk movement has today been announced as a line up addition for this year's festival.

Influencing bands on both sides of the Atlantic from the Sex Pistols and The Clash to The Ramones and Blondie. On leaving Dr Feelgood, Wilko formed the first incarnation of The Wilko Johnson Band and was also a mainstay of The Blockheads, co-writing a number of songs with Ian Dury. Fans of the cult American series Game of Thrones will recognise Wilko as the executioner Ilyn Payne.

Wilko says ‘It seems that I am still being spared the final onslaught of my terminal cancer. As the memory of the Farewell Tour recedes I am feeling again the desire to get up on stage and do my thing while health allows – so that’s why I have decided to make some festival appearances during the summer. Our visit to Cornbury in 2011 was a happy one and I am delighted that we can return once more to this fine festival.'

‘It’s a huge thrill for me to have one of greatest guitarists of all time at our 10^th anniversary festival’ added promoter Hugh Phillimore.

Wilko will perform on Sunday July 7^th at 2.30pm on the festival’s Pleasant Valley Stage. Van Morrison headlines the festival on Sunday appearing on the same stage at 6.30pm followed by festival closers Bellowhead.
