Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon will headline the Isle of Wight Festival from June 17 to 20, 2027. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of its revival, the four-day music event at Seaclose Park will feature general ticket sales starting on Monday, October 26.
The Isle of Wight Festival has officially locked in its anchor acts for its milestone 25th edition since its 2002 revival, turning to a trio of heavy hitters to anchor the Seaclose Park in Newport lineup. Festival director Caroline Giddings noted that the three main-stage leaders each bring something different to the weekend
, balancing electronic beats, stadium pop, and alternative rock across the four-day calendar.
Fatboy Slim Opens the Festival on June 18
Electronic music pioneer Fatboy Slim—performing under his real name Norman Cook—will kick off the weekend on Friday, June 18. Armed with crowd-pleasing anthems like Praise You
and Right Here, Right Now
, the veteran DJ brings a high-energy dance party feel to the festival grounds. Recognized as one of electronic music’s most iconic figures, his career spans underground clubs to global stages, typically characterized by an approachable performance style featuring bare feet and Hawaiian shirts. In addition to his festival appearances, he recently celebrated his debut album’s 30th anniversary through a special reissue featuring rarities and B-sides.
Williams arrives backed by staggering commercial stats, including more than 90 million global album sales, six of the top 100 best-selling albums in British history, and a record-shattering 16 UK Number 1 albums. Festivalgoers can expect massive singalongs to hits like Angels
, Rock DJ
, and Let Me Entertain You
. His busy summer schedule also features headline slots at the Lytham Festival and the British Grand Prix, alongside major stadium dates in Ireland.
Multi-Grammy and Brit Award winners Kings of Leon will close out the festival on Sunday, June 20. The American alternative rock titans, fresh off a record-breaking fifth night at London’s Hyde Park, bring a massive catalog that includes staples like Sex on Fire
and Use Somebody
.
Supporting Artists Join the Festival Lineup
Beyond the headliners, organizers have rolled out an initial wave of supporting talent designed to appeal across generations. Organizers have indicated that further additions will be revealed over the coming weeks and months.
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.
