Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon to headline 25th Isle of Wight Festival in 2027

Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon will headline the Isle of Wight Festival in 2027, organisers announced on Friday 23^rd October. The festival, sponsored by Sky, takes place on the island from 17^th to 20^th June 2027 and marks the 25th edition since the event was revived in 2002.

Fatboy Slim will headline the Main Stage on the Friday night, with a catalogue that includes Praise You and Right Here, Right Now. Robbie Williams will take the Saturday headline slot with a set expected to feature Angels, Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You. Kings of Leon will close the festival on Sunday 20^th June. The band have previously headlined Glastonbury, Coachella and Reading & Leeds.

Further down the bill are Bastille, Courteeners, Rudimental, Becky Hill and 2025 BRITs Rising Star winner Myles Smith. Kaiser Chiefs, Inhaler and 5 Seconds of Summer will also appear, along with Swedish band The Cardigans, Jack Savoretti, Scouting for Girls and T’Pau. Newer names include Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, Dublin singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, Rick Parfitt Jnr Band, indie-pop four-piece The Lilacs and grunge band Keo.  More acts are still to be announced.

Festival director Caroline Giddings 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.”

General sale opens at 8am on Monday 26^th October through the festival’s website. A weekend ticket costs £330, and Isle of Wight residents can buy an Islander Weekend ticket for £299. A £250 VIP upgrade, which must be bought alongside a weekend ticket, gives access to the Crazy Diamond Bar & Garden near the Main Stage. The area has its own bar, food traders, seating, toilets and a pamper area.

There are also smaller venues around the site. Sky will run an area called Sky Open House, with seating and live performances. Electro Love features tribute acts, bands and DJs playing music from the 1980s to the 2000s. Hipshaker Lounge offers funk, soul, ska and indie vinyl sets alongside dance classes, and Steeler’s Wheel hosts DJs from the south coast and the island. Kashmir Café is run by island volunteers and serves locally brewed ales, with all profits going to the arts charity Quay Arts. The Intoxicated Tea Rooms combine cocktails, vintage entertainment and dance workshops and end each night with a silent disco. For a quieter break, Sound of Silence offers sound baths in a wooded area.

Families can use the Kidzone, which runs theatre, magic, circus workshops, crafts and discos, and includes dedicated spaces for toddlers and children with sensory needs. The activities are free, and parents are encouraged to stay and take part.
