The Isle of Wight Festival announced its 2027 lineup, with Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon as the three headliners. The festival runs June 17–20, 2027 at Seaclose Park in Newport, marking the 25th anniversary of the event's revival. Tickets go on general sale Monday at 08:00.
Festival organizers framed the lineup as a "real mix of artists" spanning generations. The event is a major UK summer festival, and its license was renewed through 2033 in October, securing its future long-term.
Variety exclusively reported that Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca on Bridgerton, will star in "Miss You Forever, Zara Drake," written, directed, produced by and co-starring Lucas Jones. It will be her first lead film role.
The Isle of Wight Festival 2027 will be headlined by Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams and Kings of Leon, with Becky Hill, Bastille, Myles Smith, 5 Seconds of Summer, The Cardigans and others also on the bill.

LThe Isle of Wight Festival just dropped its 2027 lineup, and it's a generational grab bag: Fatboy Slim, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon on top.
CThat is a weird and wonderful trio. Fatboy Slim is basically the festival's house DJ at this point.
LRight? He's been there so many times they should give him a key. But this is the 25th anniversary of the modern event, so they went big.
CTwenty-five years since the revival. It runs June 17th to 20th at Seaclose Park, and tickets go on sale Monday morning at 8.
LThe undercard is stacked too: Becky Hill, Bastille, The Cardigans, 5 Seconds of Summer. My group chat is already arguing about which day to go.
CLet me guess, someone wants to see The Cardigans for one song.
LOne song? They have more than 'Lovefool', Claudette. But yes, that's exactly what they said.
CThe organizers called it 'a real mix of artists', which is polite for 'we couldn't agree on a theme.'
LHey, a festival that gives you a 90s DJ, a 2000s rock band, and Robbie Williams back to back is doing something right. It'll be rammed.
CAnd the license runs through 2033, so they clearly think it's working. Fair play.
LMeanwhile, slightly quieter news: eBay says people search for iPods every two seconds around the world.
CEvery two seconds? That's insane for a product Apple killed years ago.
LThe nostalgia market is real. People want the click wheel, the wired headphones, the whole thing. A working classic iPod goes for good money.
CI still have mine. It's in a drawer with a dead battery and 4,000 songs I can't get off it.
LYou're holding a piece of nostalgia. But honestly, it makes sense. No notifications, no algorithm, just your music.
CA beautiful, obsolete fantasy. I understand the search.
LAnd one more from Variety: Bridgerton's Hannah Dodd just landed her first lead film role.
CGood for her. She's been fantastic as Francesca, really holding her own in a crowded cast.
LThe film's called 'Miss You Forever, Zara Drake', a romantic drama about love and trauma. Written, directed, produced by, and co-starring Lucas Jones.
CThat's a lot of hats for one man. Either it's a passion project or he's very controlling.
LOr both. But Dodd's a big talent, so this feels like a smart first lead. Get the prestige romance before Hollywood locks her into franchise work.
CBridgerton's global reach is huge. She'll bring an audience with her, which is exactly what a small drama needs.
LRight, and it's out— well, they didn't say when. But the announcement is out there, and the Internet is already casting her next three films.
CThe Internet casting her next three films is the most accurate thing you've said all morning.
