Various Artists - Isle of Wight Festival 2025

The Isle of Wight Festival delivered a high-production, nostalgia-driven experience with something for everyone – veteran acts, pop hits, family zones, and interactive setups. Thematically playful with its “Neon Jungle” aesthetic, and backed by Sky’s massive presence, it felt polished and engaging. Sting kicked off Friday with full Police-era thowbacks, supported by Faithless, which had everyone in the mood for what was going to be a festival to remember. Stereophonics delivered a rock-heavy Saturday set, energising the crowd with their hits spanning over 30 years. Pop royalty such as Jess Glynne, The Corrs, Busted, Texas, Olly Murs and Amy MacDonald brought crowd-pleasing energy while Brit-rock nods were made from Supergrass, Razorlight, Pale Waves, and Midge Ure which bolstered the Big Top lineup. Remember Monday were a big hit singing their new material off of the back of their Eurovision success.
