Robbie Williams, Fatboy Slim and Kings of Leon are set to headline the 2027 Isle of Wight Festival.
Organisers have announced the first wave of performers for next year's event, which takes place from June 17 to 20. The line up also features Courteeners, Scouting For Girls, Rudimental, Cruz Beckham and the Breakers, among others.
Fatboy Slim will kick things off as Friday night's headliner, before Robbie Williams takes centre stage on Saturday. Kings of Leon will then close out the festival on Sunday.
Fatboy Slim last headlined the event in 2019, while Williams brought the festival to a close in 2023.
Kings of Leon have also previously topped the bill twice, performing as headliners in 2011 and 2014.
The three headliners will be joined by a packed line up featuring Bastille, Becky Hill, Myles Smith, Kaiser Chiefs, Inhaler, Jack Savoretti, Keo and T'Pau.
The first announcement also includes 5 Seconds of Summer, The Cardigans, The Lilacs, Aaron Rowe, Logicaltramp and Rick Parfitt Jnr Band.
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."
Giddings also highlighted the work going into the festival's wider experience, promising plenty for visitors to enjoy away from the main stages.
She added: “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.”
This year's festival featured Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure as headliners, with Wet Leg, Teddy Swims and The Kooks also performing across the weekend.
General ticket sales will open at 8am GMT on Monday, October 26, through isleofwightfestival.com.
PayPal customers can currently access an exclusive 48 hour presale, which ends at 8am on Sunday (25.10.26). Tickets are priced from £330.

Lady Gaga has hinted that new music could be on the way sooner than fans might expect.
One fan asked the Born This Way singer to avoid leaving a lengthy break before following up her 2025 album Mayhem, particularly after she and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, welcomed their first child, Rose, via surrogate in June.
The Little Monster left a comment on Gaga’s TikTok video promoting her Haus Labs Complexion Brush Set, writing: “Gaga, please don’t make us wait too long for new albums!!!
“We just want music!!! It feels like every album takes longer and longer to come out.”
Gaga quickly responded with a reassuring message, telling fans: “Don’t worry.”
Since releasing Mayhem, Gaga has contributed three songs to The Devil Wears Prada 2, including Runway, her collaboration with Doechii.
The rapper has also hinted that the pair have more music in store for listeners.
Speaking to E! News in April, Doechii teased: “I don’t want to reveal too much because there’s more coming from me and Gaga.”
The What It Is artist described Gaga as an “angel” to work with and praised her exceptional abilities as a musician.
She continued: “Working with her was incredible.
“She’s an angel. She’s genuinely a master of her craft, and I hope everyone is loving Runway.
“She’s absolutely fabulous.”
Gaga has previously spoken openly about her admiration for Doechii’s artistry, describing her music as “immediately legendary”.
In an interview with British Vogue, she explained: “It’s rare to see someone arrive on the scene with songwriting that feels instantly legendary. That’s exactly how I feel about Doechii.
“I fell in love with her music and the honest, deeply personal perspective she brings to it.”
Gaga also revealed that Doechii’s songwriting had affected her on a deeply personal level.
She added: “The strength of her lyrics, her openness, and the way she combines fearless confidence with such emotional precision in her rhymes really moved me to my core.”
Doechii later told People magazine that she was overwhelmed by Gaga’s praise, admitting she “audibly gasped, literally”.
She continued: “I’m Lady Gaga’s biggest fan, and she puts so much dedication into her creativity and constantly challenges boundaries. Hearing someone as legendary as her say those things about me was incredibly validating, in the most humbling way.
“I think Lady Gaga naturally has a certain presence when you meet her. You find yourself listening to what she says without even needing to ask for anything. She has a way of sharing herself and her creativity with the people around her.”
