Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure to headline Isle of Wight Festival 2026
Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure will top the bill at The Isle of Wight Festival.
The Isle of Wight Festival has unveiled its first wave of performers for 2026, with Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure locked in as headliners for the iconic summer event.
Set to return to Seaclose Park in Newport from June 19 to 21, the festival promises a genre-spanning celebration of music, nostalgia and fresh talent. Lewis Capaldi will kick off the weekend on Friday night, after making his triumphant return to the spotlight after a two-year hiatus. His recent single Survive became the fastest-selling track of 2025 and earned him a sixth UK Number 1, while Something In The Heavens added a tenth Top 10 hit to his growing catalogue.
Saturday belongs to Calvin Harris, who will transform the main stage into a dancefloor with his arsenal of global chart-toppers. From We Found Love to Feel So Close and Giant, the Grammy-winning producer’s set is poised to deliver euphoric highs and festival anthems in abundance.
Closing out the weekend on Sunday are legendary rockers The Cure, bringing their signature blend of gothic melancholy and indie brilliance to the Isle of Wight stage.
Joining the trio are a diverse mix of acts including Teddy Swims, Tom Grennan, Wet Leg, The Kooks, Feeder, KT Tunstall, Rick Astley, David Gray, Shed Seven, Starsailor, Suzanne Vega, Anastacia and rising act Luvcat. Punk royalty returns with members of the Sex Pistols — Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock — and Johnny Rotten replacement Frank Carter also set to take to the stage.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday (01.10.25) at 8am via isleofwightfestival.com.
