Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival has bolstered its 2026 lineup with a wave of new additions including Two Door Cinema Club, Joel Corry, Rose Gray, Perrie, The K’s, Ash, Alessi Rose and more. Tickets to the iconic event are available now through isleofwightfestival.com.
The other acts announced today are Hot Dub Time Machine, The Twilight Sad, Voilà, Chloe Qisha, Maxïmo Park, Good Neighbours, Freddie Halkon and Elvana, joining a stellar bill that already features headliners Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure.
Northern Irish indie legends Two Door Cinema Club return to the festival following a massive year of global touring. Known for their infectious guitar hooks and dance-floor fillers like ‘What You Know’ and ‘I Can Talk’, the band remains one of the most consistent and beloved live acts in the UK. Joining them are fellow countrymen Ash, celebrating over 30 years of anthemic rock hits including ‘Girl From Mars’ and ‘Shining Light’.
Bringing the party to the island is multi-BRIT Award nominated DJ and producer Joel Corry. With a string of huge hits including ‘Head & Heart’ and ‘OUT OUT’, Joel is set to deliver one of the biggest dance sets of the weekend. Also joining the party is the world’s first time-travelling dance party, Hot Dub Time Machine, who will take festival-goers on a chronological journey through the greatest hits of all time.
High-octane indie icons Maxïmo Park also join the bill. The band are currently in the midst of celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal debut album A Certain Trigger.
The festival also welcomes the meteoric rise of Good Neighbours. The duo, who became global sensations with their multi-platinum debut single ‘Home’, will bring their “indie-euphoric” sound to the stage.
Adding to the wave of fresh British talent, rising star Alessi Rose has been announced as well as Doncaster-born singer-songwriter Freddie Halkon.
Former Little Mix star Perrie makes her highly anticipated solo Isle of Wight Festival debut. Since launching her solo career, Perrie has captivated fans with her powerhouse vocals and hit singles ‘Forget About Us’ and ‘Tears’, proving her status as one of the UK’s premier pop vocalists.
The IOW 2026 lineup also welcomes rising indie stars The K’s, who have been selling out venues across the country and hit number 1 with last year’s album, Pretty On The Internet, and the ethereal sounds of Scottish post-punk icons The Twilight Sad.
Also included in today’s announcement are some of the most exciting new voices in music: the disco-infused pop of the BRITS’ Critics’ Choice Award shortlisted Rose Gray, LA-based duo Voilà. Rounding off the lineup additions, Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute Elvana, whose unique high-energy show has become a festival cult favourite.
