Warrior Festival Earlybird Tickets Now On Sale — Here's The Full Line-Up

The line-up for this year's Warrior Festival has been announced this morning (Sunday).

The fundraising music event returns to the Isle of Wight for the third year on Saturday July 15 at Smallbrook Stadium in Ryde.

Scroll down for details of the confirmed artists...

The past two instalments — both held at Sandown Airport — have seen crowds of up to 900 raise thousands of pounds for The Wight Brainy Bunch.

The charity, which provides emotional and financial support to families devastated by brain tumours, was set up by Mark Grimes and his wife Kathryn, following Mark’s diagnosis of a brain tumour in 2015.

Who's playing on the day?

Beth Brookfield

Musician who made her Isle of Wight Festival Main Stage debut in 2022 after winning the annual Wight Noize competition — the first female solo artist to do so.

November single release “On the Way to Paris” further cemented the legacy of a prolific year, sonically capturing the romanticism of the French capital.

Beth has the requisite talent, tenacity and temperament to ensure her upward career trajectory continues this year.

Organiser Toby Sleight, frontman of Foo Fighterz, said:

“The original idea was to put on a small charity gig, but it quickly snowballed as more local musicians offered to get involved.

"This year we are taking it up a gear, with eleven bands taking to the main stage, and more to be announced on our second stage, run by Platform One Music College.

"Also, for 2023 we have a VIP experience, with your very own bar, toilets and viewing platform."

In addition to the 11 acts announced today, the Platform One stage will see some of the Island's young talent perform throughout the event.

Tickets are priced at £20, with under 12s going for free, while camping tickets and VIP access are also available.

Earlybird tickets go on sale today via The Price is Wight, with the first 100 at a reduced cost of £15.
