Who is headlining Isle of Wight Festival 2027?

Fatboy Slim gets the party started on the Main Stage on Friday 18 June. Shoes off, Hawaiian shirt on: that formula has united crowds from underground clubs to the world’s biggest festival fields, and with Praise You and Right Here, Right Now in his back pocket, expect the whole site to be bouncing.

Robbie Williams headlines the Main Stage on Saturday 19 June, four years after his Isle of Wight debut closed the 2023 festival. The numbers are daft: more than 90 million album sales, a record-breaking 16 UK Number 1 albums and six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history. Angels, Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You are all promised.

Kings of Leon close the festival on Sunday 20 June. The multi-Grammy and BRIT Award winners have headlined Glastonbury, Coachella and several Lollapaloozas, topped the bill at Reading & Leeds three times, and recently played a record-breaking fifth night at London’s Hyde Park.

Who else is on the Isle of Wight Festival 2027 line-up?

Below the headliners, the bill is built for big singalongs. Bastille (Pompeii, Happier), Manchester indie heroes Courteeners and dance collective Rudimental lead the supporting cast, alongside Becky Hill, 2025 BRITs Rising Star winner Myles Smith, Ivor Novello winners Kaiser Chiefs, Inhaler and 5 Seconds of Summer.

There’s a healthy dose of nostalgia too: The Cardigans (Lovefool, My Favourite Game), T’Pau (China in Your Hand), Jack Savoretti and Scouting for Girls all feature.

Further down, keep an eye on Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, fresh from Reading Festival and Rock N Roll Circus in summer 2026, Dublin singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, indie-pop four-piece The Lilacs and fast-rising grunge band Keo. Rick Parfitt Jnr Band and Supertramp tribute Logicaltramp complete the first announcement.

Festival director Caroline Giddings said the three headliners “each bring something different to the weekend”, adding: “there’s a real mix of artists for different generations and tastes, and there’s still more to come.”
