You may feel like festival season is over here in the UK, but now it’s time to look ahead to 2026.
And wasting no time to fuel the excitement is Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival, who today confirmed the first batch of artists for next year.
The three headliners will be comeback king Lewis Capaldi and fellow Scotsman Calvin Harris, alongside iconic English rock band, The Cure.
Joining the headliners across the rest of the lineup are the likes of Teddy Swims, Tom Grennan, Sex Pistols (Paul Cook, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock) featuring Frank Carter, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, The Kooks, Rick Astley, and David Gray.
Festival director, Caroline Giddings commented: “It might be our best line-up yet. It’s my favourite so far, at least. We’re proud to put the future of music and current stars on a bill alongside artists like The Cure and the Sex Pistols, who helped lay the foundation of pop culture.
“The festival has always been an extension of the Isle of Wight’s rich cultural history. From Lewis Carroll and Tennyson to Julia Margaret Cameron, the island has been a source of inspiration for artists through time.
“We always try to honour that by presenting the very best music has to offer, giving people an unforgettable festival experience in the process.”
Many more artists are still to be revealed across the weekend, with tickets on sale this Wednesday (1st October) at 8am.
