Speaking about the festival’s 2027 line-up, festival director Caroline Giddings said:
“Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon each bring something different to the weekend. 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.”
Sky Open House invites everyone to experience the ultimate festival hangout, offering a welcoming space to relax, rewind and enjoy live performances.
Across the site, Electro Love brings together tribute acts, live bands and DJs playing music from the 80s, 90s and 00s. Hipshaker Lounge pairs funk, soul, ska and indie with vinyl DJ sets and dance classes, while Steeler’s Wheel hosts DJs from across the south coast and the Island.
At Kashmir Café, live music and Island-brewed ales come with a local connection: the venue is run by Island volunteers, with all profits supporting Quay Arts. Elsewhere, the Intoxicated Tea Rooms offers cocktails, vintage entertainment and dance workshops before finishing the night with a silent disco. Sound of Silence provides a quieter wooded space to take a breather and enjoy a sound bath.
For families, the Kidzone offers theatre, magic, circus workshops, crafts and discos, alongside dedicated toddler and sensory spaces. Activities are free, with parents encouraged to stay and join in.
Ticket holders also have the opportunity to elevate their weekend with the PayPal Presents VIP Upgrade, which provides access to the Crazy Diamond Bar & Garden, close to the Main Stage. The area includes a dedicated bar, food traders, indoor and outdoor seating, toilets and a pamper area.
