The Cure, Lewis Capaldi, and Calvin Harris will lead Isle Of Wight Festival 2026. The annual festival, set for June 18-21 at Seaclose Park, will also feature Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter, the Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, Teddy Swims, The Kooks, and Feeder.
Other artists on the bill include Rick Astley, Shed Seven, David Gray, Five, KT Tunstall, Anastacia, Starsailor, Suzanne Vega, and Luvcat. More will be announced in the coming months.
“It might be our best line-up yet,” festival director Caroline Giddings said in a statement (via the BBC). “It’s my favorite 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. The festival has always been an extension of the Isle of Wight’s rich cultural history. We always try to honor that by presenting the very best music has to offer, giving people an unforgettable festival experience in the process.”
