Explained simply
The Isle of Wight Festival is a large music event held each summer at Seaclose Park in Newport. It was first staged in the late 1960s, then revived in 2002, and has since become a regular fixture on the UK festival calendar.
Festival headliners are the main acts scheduled to perform, usually closing the programme on the biggest stages. The line-up includes artists from different genres, and organisers typically announce performers in stages, so an early list gives only part of the programme.
The festival draws visitors to the island and is a significant event for its local tourism and businesses. Its 25th edition since the revival marks a milestone for the event.
