Dean Harrison also confirmed
Isle of Man TT rider Dean Harrison will also appear at the show.

He has also produced strong performances at other major road racing events, including the North West 200, and is widely recognised for his smooth but committed riding style.
Fans attending the show will have the opportunity to meet Harrison and hear about his experiences racing on some of the most demanding circuits in the sport.
Tribute to the film No Limit
The event will also feature a tribute to the 1935 film No Limit.
The film starred George Formby as chimney sweep George Shuttleworth, who builds his own motorcycle – the “Shuttleworth Snap” – and travels to the Isle of Man TT.
A replica of the Shuttleworth Snap will be on display at the show. The machine was created from a 1926 Triumph Model P and features the distinctive chequered streamlining seen in the film.
Originally built for an appearance at the Goodwood Revival, the motorcycle has since been displayed and ridden at events across Europe.
The replica was created by Graeme Hardy, a fan of the film who first saw No Limit during a visit to the Isle of Man TT in 1980.
The machine will be displayed in the GP Paddock and will lead the Classic’s Cavalcade during the weekend.
