Isle Of Wight Festival has announced the headliners and its first wave of artists for 2027. See the line-up below.
Next year’s edition of the three-day event will take place at Seaclose Park in Newport between June 17 and 20. It’ll mark the legendary festival’s 25th edition since its revival in 2002.
Scheduled to top the bill on the main stage on the Friday night is Fatboy Slim. On the Saturday, Robbie Williams will close proceedings off the back of his history-making 16th UK Number One album ‘Britpop’.
Headlining the final day of music at IOW ’27 will be Kings Of Leon, whose new record ‘O My Beloved’ is released on November 6.
Other acts confirmed to be performing across the weekend include Courteeners, Becky Hill, Myles Smith, Inhaler, The Cardigans, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Kaiser Chiefs, Rudimental, Bastille and Cruz Beckham & The Breakers.
Organisers have said more names will be announced in the coming weeks and months.
Tickets go on general sale at 8am GMT on Monday October 26 – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, PalPal customers can access an exclusive pre-sale now for the next 48 hours (from 8am BST today, Friday October 23).
Caroline Giddings, festival director, said: “Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon each bring something different to the weekend. With Becky Hill, Bastille and Myles Smith also on the bill, there’s a real mix of artists for different generations and tastes, and there’s still more to come.
“We put a lot of thought into what happens beyond the main stages, too. 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.”

Robbie Williams will also headline Lytham Festival, the British Grand Prix, and play two massive stadium gigs in Ireland next summer. The singer is currently rumoured to be making an appearance at Glastonbury 2027, which takes place the week after IOW.
The pop star said in 2023 that he’d “slaughter” Glasto’s coveted Legends Slot if he was booked. “A lot of people there have an oblique perception of what I am. But if they saw me do it, I would take their heads off,” he explained.
Williams then coyly told NME last year that a performance on the Pyramid Stage was “maybe” on the cards.
Meanwhile, Kings Of Leon have announced a huge show at London’s O2 for next July. The band have previewed the forthcoming ‘O My Beloved’ with the singles ‘My Whole World’ and ‘Cold Blue Dawn’, and launched their new era with a tiny gig in Nashville last month.
In other news, Fatboy Slim has reissued his seminal debut album ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’ with a selection of B-sides, rarities and more to mark its 30th anniversary.
This year’s Isle Of Wight Festival was headlined by The Cure, Lewis Capaldi and Calvin Harris.
