Isle of Wight Festival has revealed the first wave of its 2027 line-up, with Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon confirmed as next summer’s three main headliners. The festival returns to Seaclose Park in Newport from 17 to 20 June 2027, marking the 25th edition since the event was revived in 2002. Fatboy Slim will headline the Friday night, Robbie Williams takes over the Main Stage on Saturday and Kings of Leon will close the festival on Sunday.

There are already plenty of other big names across the bill, with Bastille, Courteeners, Becky Hill, Myles Smith, Kaiser Chiefs, Rudimental, 5 Seconds of Summer, Inhaler, Jack Savoretti and The Cardigans among those confirmed. Scouting For Girls, T’Pau, The Lilacs, Cruz Beckham & The Breakers, Aaron Rowe, Keo, Logicaltramp and Rick Parfitt Jnr Band have also been announced, with more artists still to come.

Robbie Williams heads to the festival after scoring his record-breaking 16th UK number one album with Britpop, while Kings of Leon will arrive following the release of their new album O My Beloved in November. Fatboy Slim, meanwhile, will bring his huge catalogue of dance hits to the opening night, including “Praise You” and “Right Here, Right Now”.

Tickets go on general sale at 8am on Monday 26 October through the Isle of Wight Festival website. A limited PayPal presale opened on Friday morning and runs for up to 48 hours, giving fans an earlier chance to secure tickets before the general sale begins.

For CultureCues, this is already looking like a really good weekend. Robbie Williams, Kings of Leon and Fatboy Slim are three very different headliners, and then having 5SOS, Becky Hill, Bastille, Courteeners and more across the rest of the line-up gives us plenty to look forward to. This is only the first wave too, so we’ll definitely be watching to see who else gets added.

Isle of Wight Festival 2027 takes place from 17 to 20 June, with tickets on general sale from 8am on Monday 26 October.
