The Isle of Wight Festival 2025 has revealed its first acts – and they’re massive. Headlining the event, running 19th-22nd June, are Sting, Stereophonics, and Justin Timberlake. Also on the bill: Faithless, The Script, Clean Bandit, Example, James, Olly Murs, Texas, and more.
Sting kicks things off on Friday as part of his “STING 3.0” world tour. Expect the classics – ‘Roxanne’, ‘Message In A Bottle’, ‘Englishman In New York’ – and his new single, ‘I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)’. The man has sold 100 million records, so you know he’s got a set list worth showing up for.
Saturday brings Stereophonics back to the Isle for the first time in three years. With twelve studio albums under their belt, they’ll be cranking out hits like ‘Dakota’ and ‘Maybe Tomorrow’, plus some new material from their 2025 album.
Then, the weekend finishes in style with Justin Timberlake taking the Main Stage on Sunday night. Expect ‘Sexy Back’, ‘Mirrors’, and other pop bangers from a man who’s sold over 117 million records worldwide.

If you’re in the mood for a dance, Clean Bandit will be serving up their chart-toppers on Friday night, while Example brings his party anthems to the Big Top on Saturday. You can also expect sing-alongs with James, who close the Big Top on Sunday.
