After a memorable Friday featuring Wet Leg's homecoming and Lewis Capaldi's headline set, the Isle of Wight Festival enters its third day.
Saturday promises wall-to-wall entertainment across Seaclose Park, with global dance superstar Calvin Harris, chart sensation Teddy Swims, pop icon Rick Astley and BRIT Award-winning singer Rita Ora all set to take to the Main Stage.
Here's our pick of the acts not to miss.
Five Bring The Nostalgia
The Main Stage comes alive throughout the afternoon, but expect a huge crowd when Five arrive at 4.25pm.
The reunited boyband remain one of the most recognisable names of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with a catalogue packed full of singalong favourites likely to have festivalgoers dancing from the first note.
Rick Astley Returns To Seaclose
Fresh from recent festival triumphs and his hugely successful Smiths-inspired sets, Rick Astley takes to the Main Stage at 5.45pm.
Whether you're there for the nostalgia or simply to hear one of pop's most enduring voices, his set promises to be one of the feel-good moments of the weekend.
Rita Ora And Teddy Swims Set The Evening Up
As the sun begins to set, Rita Ora takes control of the Main Stage with a string of chart hits and festival-ready anthems.
She is followed by Teddy Swims, whose remarkable rise over the past 18 months has made him one of the most sought-after performers on the circuit.
His powerful vocals and emotional songwriting are expected to create one of the standout performances of the day.
Calvin Harris Headlines Saturday Night
There is little doubt about Saturday's biggest draw.
Calvin Harris returns to the Isle of Wight Festival for a headline set that is expected to attract one of the largest crowds of the weekend.
With countless chart-topping singles, festival anthems and dance classics to choose from, Seaclose Park looks set to become one giant outdoor nightclub when he takes to the stage at 10.25pm.
Feeder And The Sex Pistols Offer A Rock Alternative
For those looking beyond the Main Stage, the Big Top offers one of the strongest line-ups of the weekend.
Feeder arrive at 9.25pm with a set packed with rock favourites before the legendary Sex Pistols, featuring Frank Carter, take over shortly before midnight.
Their appearance is likely to be one of the most talked-about performances of the festival.
Local Stages Continues To Shine
The River Stage and Kashmir Café once again provide a platform for emerging and Island-based artists.
The Kairos are expected to draw one of the River Stage's biggest audiences of the day, while Newton Faulkner's intimate Kashmir Café appearance could prove one of Saturday's hidden gems.
Festival favourites Hightown Crow and Baron Strange & The Blackbyrds also feature, while Apollo Junction round off the River Stage programme in style.
Don't Forget Cirque De La Quirk
Away from the music stages, Cirque De La Quirk continues to offer something completely different.
From the Isle of Wight Fancy Dress Competition and Haus of Excess Cabaret to late-night performances from Eva Lazarus and Maddy V Showcase, it remains one of the festival's most colourful and unpredictable attractions.
With sunshine forecast, huge crowds expected and one of the strongest days of the weekend ahead, Saturday looks set to be another unforgettable chapter in this year's Isle of Wight Festival.
