Isle of Wight Festival 2027 runs Thursday June 17 to Sunday June 20 at Seaclose Park in Newport, the June home of a festival that dates back to 1968 and was revived in 2002. Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon head the first announcement.
21 acts are named so far. Under the headliners sit Bastille, Courteeners, Kaiser Chiefs, Rudimental, Becky Hill, Myles Smith and 5 Seconds of Summer, and the rest leans into British pop nostalgia with T'Pau, Scouting for Girls and The Cardigans. No day split yet, so it is not known which night each headliner takes.
Expect pop, alternative, singer/songwriter and dance across 21 acts.

Big beatElectronic
Nashville's Followill family band, from the raw Southern garage rock of Youth & Young Manhood to the arena-sized 'Sex on Fire' and 'Use Somebody'. Ten albums in and still a brothers' operation.
Rock
The Take That kid who became Britain's biggest solo showman: 'Angels', 'Feel' and 'Rock DJ', sung back by the whole field, with banter between every one.
PopBritpop
Sydney pop-rock veterans who long outgrew their boy-band billing, with arena-sized hooks, real instruments, and a pop-punk past that still sneaks into the setlist.
Pop-rock
Dan Smith's band, whose chanted hook on 'Pompeii' set the template: brooding synth-pop with stadium-sized choruses and a habit of reworking other people's songs on mixtapes.
Alternative
Big-voiced singer who became UK dance music's go-to topline vocalist, from Oliver Heldens' 'Gecko (Overdrive)' to her own euphoric house-pop singles.
Dance
Manchester guitar band fronted by Liam Fray, whose terrace-ready anthems like 'Not Nineteen Forever' sustain a fiercely loyal hometown following.
Alternative
'I Predict a Riot' still starts one, and these Leeds lads keep mid-2000s indie's terrace-chant energy alive.
Indie-rock
British singer-songwriter whose 'Stargazing' went stratospheric, with folk-pop hooks built to be shouted back.
Singer/songwriter
Hackney collective pairing drum and bass with big soul vocals and a full live band, behind 'Feel the Love' with John Newman and 'Waiting All Night' with Ella Eyre.
Dance
Singer/songwriter
Dublin four-piece trading in big-reverb guitar hooks and baritone vocals, closer to eighties post-punk radio than the Britpop revival they get filed with.
Alternative
Husky-voiced songwriter who moved from acoustic folk toward lush, cinematic European pop steeped in 1960s and 70s glamour.
Singer/songwriter
British band giving grunge-weight guitars and nineties indie rock a new run behind Finn Keogh's raw voice.
Pop
London piano-pop band led by Roy Stride, behind the bouncy singalongs 'She's So Lovely' and 'This Ain't a Love Song'. Hooky choruses built for crowds.
Pop
Carol Decker's band, named after a Star Trek character, behind the soaring late-'80s ballad 'China in Your Hand' and the taut synth-rock of 'Heart and Soul'.
Pop
Swedish band who moved from the lounge-tinged sweetness of 'Lovefool' to the darker, sleeker rock of 'My Favourite Game', with Nina Persson's cool, detached vocals throughout.
