Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, The Cure, Teddy Swims, Tom Grennan and the Island’s very own Wet Leg will all take to the Seaclose Park stage at Isle of Wight Festival 2026, it has been announced this morning (Monday).
The festival will return to Newport from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2026 with a packed line-up featuring major international stars, chart-topping acts and emerging talent – including a debut Isle of Wight performance from Teddy Swims.
After a 2-year break from the industry, the unmistakable Lewis Capaldi is set to headline on Friday, whilst Grammy Award-winning producer and DJ Calvin Harris returns to the Isle of Wight to take over the main stage on Saturday night. Sunday’s headliners will be the iconic rock group, The Cure.
Other acts announced today include Sex Pistols (without John Lydon), FIVE, The Last Dinner Party, The Kooks, Feeder, Jo Whiley, Rick Astley, David Gray, KT Tunstall, Shed Seven, Starsailor, Suzanne Vega and, returning to the Island for the first time since performing at Osborne House in 2009, Anastacia.
It has been confirmed that Tom Grennan, Sex Pistols and Luvcat will take to the Big Top stage, but it’s a step up to the Main Stage this year for homegrown talent Wet Leg.
Festival director Caroline Giddings has said:
“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.”
