Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival will return to Seaclose Park between 17-20 June 2027, and tickets go on sale tomorrow morning (Thursday).

2027 will mark the 25th year since the Festival's revival.

In that time, it has gone from strength-to-strength: From a single day with a small crowd, to four days and tens of thousands of music-lovers! 

This year saw performances by Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris, The Cure, Tom Grennan, Teddy Swims, Wet Leg, The Kooks, The Last Dinner Party and more.

Before the modern festivals, the original Isle of Wight Festivals began in 1968 and ran for three years, playing host to legends including Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and The Who.

For Mountbatten Isle of Wight, the current Isle of Wight Festivals have meant an amazing fundraising opportunity, including gathering around £86,000 in 2025, for vital 24/7 hospice care. 85 per cent of that care is delivered in homes across the Isle of Wight, with the rest on a specialist inpatient unit and through day services for outpatients, at the John Cheverton Centre in Newport.

Mountbatten Isle of Wight hospice is just yards from the Isle of Wight Festival site.

Festival Director, Caroline Giddings, said of the 2026 Isle of Wight Festival: “To see 55,000 people come together on the Isle of Wight was incredibly special.

"We'd like to thank everyone who joined us, as well as the artists, partners, suppliers, local community, and the many people who work and volunteer to make the festival happen each year. Planning for next year is already underway and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Seaclose Park.”
