Rita Ora announced for Isle of Wight Festival 2026
Rita Ora is set to grace the main stage at Sky Presents the Isle of Wight Festival.
Rita Ora is set to bring major star power to Sky Presents the Isle of Wight Festival 2026, with organisers confirming the singer as the latest addition to this year’s line‑up.
The chart‑topping performer will hit the main stage on Saturday, June 20, taking the third slot from the top before Calvin Harris closes out the night. Her addition bolsters a bill already led by headliners Lewis Capaldi, Calvin Harris and The Cure for the four‑day event running June 18 to 21.
Alongside Rita, the festival has added indie favourites Circa Waves, Nathan Evans teaming up with The Saint PHNX Band, rising singer‑songwriter Tom A. Smith, Birmingham quartet Overpass and newcomers The Guest List.
The final wave of acts continues the festival’s blend of established names and emerging talent.
Organisers have also unveiled this year’s fancy‑dress theme: Galactic Glamour and Space Oddities. Festivalgoers are encouraged to embrace all things cosmic — from retro sci‑fi villains and shimmering disco aliens to futuristic glam rock looks — promising a weekend that’s as visually spectacular as it is musical.
Remaining tickets for Sky Presents the Isle of Wight Festival 2026 are available now at isleofwightfestival.com.
