Speaking about the news, Tom Odell commented: "When I was a bit younger, I used to climb up on the hill near to where I grew up and stare at the Isle of Wight. I remember knowing that a grand music festival was held on the island every year, and I dreamed at some point I would be there, playing. That day has come and I am thrilled."

Some other acts confirmed for the festival include Calvin Harris, Rudimental and The Vamps.
