The Isle of Wight Festival, presented by Sky, has revealed a significant expansion to its 2026 lineup, with new acts announced on 26 January 2026. The event will take place from 18th to 21st June 2026 at Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight. The latest announcement includes artists such as Two Door Cinema Club, Ash, Joel Corry, Perrie, Rose Gray, The K’s, Alessi Rose, and others, joining previously confirmed headliners Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, and The Cure.

Northern Irish indie band Two Door Cinema Club will return to the festival after a year of international touring. The group has produced songs like What You Know and I Can Talk, and is recognised as a consistent presence on the UK live music circuit. Ash, also from Northern Ireland and with a long-standing career and tracks such as Girl From Mars and Shining Light, will also perform, marking over three decades in the industry.

Among the other additions is DJ and producer Joel Corry, whose singles Head & Heart and OUT OUT have achieved commercial success and who is expected to deliver a dance-focused set over the festival weekend. Hot Dub Time Machine, the world’s first time-travelling dance party, will also appear, offering a chronological selection of popular music.

The festival’s organisers have highlighted the inclusion of Maxïmo Park, who are currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, A Certain Trigger. Good Neighbours, whose debut single Home gained international attention, will also take the stage, as will rising British artists Alessi Rose and Freddie Halkon.

Former Little Mix member Perrie will make her solo Isle of Wight Festival debut, performing tracks from her solo career including Forget About Us and Tears. Other acts announced include The K’s, The Twilight Sad, Rose Gray, Voilá, and tribute act Elvana.

The full lineup so far features a mix of established and emerging artists, including Anastacia, David Gray, Feeder, KT Tunstall, Rick Astley, Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter, Shed Seven, Starsailor, Suzanne Vega, Teddy Swims, The Kooks, The Last Dinner Party, Tom Grennan, Wet Leg, and Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems.

The Isle of Wight Festival, one of the UK’s longest-running music events, continues to attract high-profile acts and a diverse audience, maintaining its reputation as a key fixture on the British festival calendar.
