New names have been added to the Isle Of Wight Festival‘s 2026 line-up, including Two Door Cinema Club, Rose Gray, The Twilight Sad and more. Check out the full list of new names below.
The iconic festival will be returning to Seaclose Park from June 18-21, and last September it was confirmed that headliners would be The Cure, Lewis Capaldi and Calvin Harris.
Other names featured in the first announcement included huge acts like Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter, The Last Dinner Party, Wet Leg, Teddy Swims, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Feeder, Rick Astley, David Gray, Five, KT Tunstall, Shed Seven, Starsailor, Suzanne Vega, Anastacia, and Luvcat.
Now, another batch of artists have been added to the stacked bill, including Two Door Cinema Club, who will be returning to the Isle Of Wight Festival stage following a huge year of global touring, and Ash, who are celebrating three decades of hits like ‘Shining Light’ and ‘Girl From Mars’.
Multi-BRIT Award nominated DJ and producer Joel Corry also joins the line-up, as do Good Neighbours, former NME Cover stars Alessi Rose and Chloe Qisha, singer-songwriter Freddie Halkon, BRITS’ Critics’ Choice Award shortlisted Rose Gray, and indie icons Maxïmo Park. The latter join the bill as they are currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut album ‘A Certain Trigger’.
More new names include former Little Mix star Perrie, who is making her solo debut at the festival this year, as well as rising indie band The K’s, Hot Dub Time Machine, LA-based duo Voilà, Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute Elvana, and Scottish post-punk icons The Twilight Sad.
For the latter, the slot comes after they announced their new album ‘It’s The Long Goodbye’, their first album in seven years, and told NME about how it was a record written in the wake of frontman James Graham losing his mother to dementia.
After announcing the first batch of names last year, festival director Caroline Giddings declared that the 2026 edition “might be our best line-up yet”.
“The festival has always been an extension of the Isle of Wight’s rich cultural history. From Lewis Carroll and Tennyson to Julia Margaret Cameron, the island has been a source of inspiration for artists through time,” she added.
“We always try to honour that by presenting the very best music has to offer, giving people an unforgettable festival experience in the process.”
