A blockbuster trio of headliners for the 2027 Isle of Wight Festival has been announced, marking the 25th edition since the event’s revival in 2002. Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon will top the bill when the festival returns, to Seaclose Park, from June 17 to 20, 2027.

Tickets go on general sale at 8am on Monday, but with a 48‑hour PayPal presale opening at 8am today (Friday). Full details and ticket links are available at isleofwightfestival.com

The festival will also feature a packed supporting line‑up, with artists ranging from chart‑topping pop acts to indie favourites and Island newcomers. Names announced so far include 5 Seconds of Summer, Becky Hill, Bastille, Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs, Rudimental, Scouting For Girls, The Cardigans, Jack Savoretti, Inhaler, Myles Smith, T’Pau, and Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, with more to come.

Festival director, Caroline Giddings, said the 2027 programme was designed to appeal across generations. “Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon each bring something different to the weekend,” she said. “With Becky Hill, Bastille, and Myles Smith also on the bill, there’s a real mix of artists for different tastes, and there’s still more to come.”

She added that organisers were putting equal thought into the wider festival experience. “What happens beyond the main stages matters just as much. The food, the entertainment, and the spaces where people can spend time together are all part of what makes it a special weekend on the Island.”
