Isle of Wight 2021: Liam Gallagher, Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran set to headline

Liam Gallagher, Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran are set to headline this year's Isle of Wight Festival, organisers have announced.

Sir Tom Jones, the Kaiser Chiefs and The Script will also be performing at the event, which has been postponed to September due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

It will now run from 16 to 19 September in its usual spot at Seaclose Park outside Newport.

Gallagher will top the bill on the Friday, while Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran headline the weekend.

Other names on the lineup include Primal Scream, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, James Arthur, Ella Henderson and Maximo Park.

Festival promoter John Giddings said: “It’s a fantastic array of artists, from icons to emerging talent and not forgetting everything still to come from additional stages across the festival.

“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.”

Both Glastonbury and Download festivals have been cancelled for a second consecutive year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
