Justin Timberlake, Sting and Stereophonics have been announced as the headliners for the 2025 edition of the Isle of Wight Festival.

The annual bash will return to Seaclose Park on the island across the weekend of June 19-22 next year, with the likes of Faithless, Paul Heaton, James and The Lathums also on the bill.

Festival organiser John Giddings said: “What a line-up we have in store already for the next edition of The Isle of Wight Festival. This first announcement spans global music icons to the freshest new talent and we have many more names to come so stay tuned. Everyone should get to the island over 19th – 22nd June 2025 for an unforgettable weekend of music.

“We’ve also just opened Experience 25, where we celebrate all 25 Isle of Wight Festival’s, from the original events in 1968 through to 2024 with photos, video, memorabilia, and some really special art installations! It’s at The O2 London, free to enter and running until 13th of November. Well worth a look.”

Green DayThe Prodigy and Pet Shop Boys were the headliners for Isle of Wight 2024, with the festival also those among a series of events to drop Barclays as a sponsor this year following a mass boycott from bands.

The festivals all faced a slew of acts pulling out due to their sponsorship deals with Barclays and the bank’s financial ties with Israel. It comes after Brighton’s The Great Escape saw over 100 acts pull out in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
