It's a fantastic array of artists; from icons to emerging talent and not forgetting everything still to come from additional stages across the festival. Over the coming months we'll be watching and learning from the events taking place before us and, of course, liaising with all the relevant authorities to make sure everyone - audience, artists, staff, the community - is kept safe. See you in September!

The Isle of Wight Festival is a summer staple guaranteed to provide unforgettable moments. It's standing arm in arm with fellow festivalgoers in Seaclose Park. It's watching the sun go down over the Main Stage, cheering as the fireworks light up the sky. It's revelling in over 50 years of musical history and discovering incredible new artists. It's experiencing the inherently magical island atmosphere. It's making friends for life and memories to last a lifetime.
