Isle of Wight Festival 2024: Date, headliners, and how to get tickets

The Isle of Wight Festival has announced its 2024 line-up, as well as a release date for tickets.

It has been confirmed by the promoters that Green Day will finish the IOW main stage on the Sunday night with a performance that is exclusive to the UK festival.

Here, you can learn about the historical festival's full line-up, when it's on, and how to get tickets.

What is the Isle of Wight festival?

The Isle of Wight Festival is a British music festival which has taken place annually in Newport, on the Isle of Wight.

It is considered by many to be Europe's version of Woodstock.

The inaugural concert was in 1968 and was headlined by Bob Dylan. But, between 1970 to 2002, there was no Isle of Wight Festival; nevertheless, veteran music promoter John Giddings brought it back as an annual event.

Bands like The Rolling Stones, Muse, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Kings of Leon, The Strokes, Coldplay, The Sex Pistols, Fleetwood Mac, The Police, Blondie, and Red Hot Chili Peppers have performed on its stages since 2002.

When is Isle of Wight festival 2024?

The Isle of Wight Festival will take place over the weekend of June 20 to June 23, 2024, at Seaclose Park, Newport.

Who is on the line up?
