📋About
Isle of Wight Festival 2027: the heir to "Europe's Woodstock" returns in June
Between 1968 and 1970, the Isle of Wight (United Kingdom) staged a run of festivals often described as Europe's answer to Woodstock. In 1970 the bill stretched across five days, and more than 600,000 people came for Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors and Joni Mitchell. Then nothing until 2002, when promoter John Giddings revived it; he still books the programme today.
The 2027 edition runs from Thursday June 17 to Sunday June 20. No acts are named yet; a 48-hour PayPal presale opens on Friday October 23, 2026 at 8am. Under its full title, Sky presents the Isle of Wight Festival spreads over grass fields, sloping in places, while its 180-acre campsite on the banks of the Medina names each field after a colour. The island enjoys a microclimate and sits roughly two hours door to door from London.
Beyond the Main Stage and the Big Top, the River Stage focuses on emerging talent, and the This Feeling space launched The K's and Overpass. Electro Love revisits the 80s, 90s and 2000s, while Hipshaker Lounge spins vintage funk, soul, ska, reggae and rock. Kashmir Café is staffed by island volunteers raising money for Quay Arts; Octopus' Garden serves food from around the world, and Kidzone keeps children entertained.
There is no day ticket for now: the weekend pass comes with or without camping, with free re-entry. Ages 13 to 15 need a weekend ticket and an accompanying adult; child tickets cover ages 9 to 12 and 3 to 8, and under-2s go free. The Islander ticket is for island residents only. Parking is an optional extra, and £2 from each pass funds the Big Tree Plant (tree planting on the island); the low-carbon Big Green Coach is back as the ticket-and-travel partner. Camping runs from Thursday to Monday June 21 (leave by 2pm): boutique, Luxury Backstage, Love Your Tent (a £30 deposit returned if you take your tent home), Respect Camping (sign-ups in early 2027) and Family. Raised platforms stand by the Main Stage, inside the Big Top and at Electro Love, plus a Sensory Calm tent in the arena.
