She joins a bill that already includes major acts such as Lewis Capaldi and The Cure, alongside local favourites Level 42 and Wet Leg.

Also newly announced for the Seaclose Park event are:

• Circa Waves

• Nathan Evans & Saint PHNX Band

• Overpass

• The Guest List

They join an already packed line-up featuring artists including Tom Grennan, Teddy Swims, The Kooks and The Last Dinner Party.

2026 fancy dress theme revealed

Festival organisers have also unveiled this year’s popular fancy dress theme.

For 2026, festivalgoers are being encouraged to embrace “Galactic Glamour & Space Oddities.”

The theme celebrates all things cosmic and futuristic — from sci-fi characters and alien visitors to shimmering disco divas and space-age adventurers.

Fans heading to Seaclose Park are being invited to break out the silver jumpsuits, sequins and intergalactic costumes, with organisers promising a festival atmosphere that will feel like a “close encounter”.

Festival dates

The Isle of Wight Festival returns to Seaclose Park in Newport from 18–21 June 2026.

Tickets for the event are on sale now via the festival’s official website.
