The Isle of Wight Festival typically takes place in Seaclose Park in Newport, Isle of Wight, over four days. Previous headliners have included George Ezra, Biffy Clyro, and Kasabian.
On 2 March, the organisers announced that the festival would in fact be returning for 2021, but would be postponed till September. "The Isle of Wight Festival is a summer staple and two years without being together on the island is too long. That's why we're so excited to announce that we're moving the festival to 16 to 19 September 2021. We're thrilled to be able to welcome everyone to the island in September," the announcement read.
The festival promoter, John Giddings has said that "over the coming months we'll be watching and learning from the events taking place before us and, of course, liaising with all the relevant authorities to make sure everyone – audience, artists, staff, the community – is kept safe. See you in September."
Status of festival: Confirmed to take place on 16th-19th Sept 2021.
