Sunday 22nd June – “I’ve got one clean sock, half a pint of warm cider, and no regrets. Let’s go!”

It’s the final day of one of the UK’s most legendary festivals, and Isle of Wight 2025 ain’t going out quietly. With pop royalty, indie icons, tribute brilliance, and a sprinkle of Sunday weirdness, it’s the perfect storm of glitter, grooves and “I’m not emotionally ready for this to be over.”

🎸 MAIN STAGE – Pop Gold & Headliner Heaven

12:05pm – Björn Again
What’s a Sunday without a cheeky bit of ABBA? This tribute act kicks things off with more sequins than your nan’s curtains and enough pop joy to slap a smile on the most hungover face. Mamma Mia magic, baby!

1:25pm – Ella Eyre
Banger merchant and vocal powerhouse. She’ll belt tunes while you belt out that bacon roll you’ve been clutching since 9am. Expect energy, sass, and soul.

2:50pm – Alison Moyet
A goddess of voice. Alison brings proper 80s cool and rich, emotional depth to the Sunday slot. “All Cried Out” will hit you harder than losing your tent pegs.

4:20pm – Olly Murs
Mr. Cheeky Chappy himself. Part pop performer, part stand-up comic. Catchy choruses, flashy footwork, and charm for days. C’mon butt, it’s impossible not to dance.

5:50pm – Texas
Sharleen Spiteri and co. bring the smooth. From “Say What You Want” to “Black Eyed Boy”, they’re Sunday balm for your buzzing brain. Close your eyes and sway.

7:30pm – Jess Glynne
She’s got the hits, the pipes, and the glow-up energy to carry you into golden hour. “Hold My Hand”? Nah, hold my pint and watch me sing along at full volume.

9:15pm – JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE (HEADLINER)
THE pop prince. THE finale. THE reason your feet will give up but your soul will keep dancing. Cry Me a River, Rock Your Body, Can’t Stop the Feeling—he’ll serve ‘em all with slick moves and Vegas-level stage show vibes. JT is the glittery cherry on this festival cake. Tidy!

🎪 BIG TOP – Indie Comfort & Cult Heroes

12:45pm – The Lilacs
Lovely start to your Sunday sesh. Indie folk warmth and heartfelt melodies. Like a musical blanket with a craft beer in hand.

2:10pm – Remember Monday
Britain’s 2025 Eurovision hopefuls (yes, we said it). Big harmonies, massive choruses, and hopeful pop vibes. They’ll go off.

3:40pm – Midge Ure
Actual legend alert. Ultravox frontman, Band Aid brain, synthpop saint. Close your eyes and let “Vienna” swallow you whole.

5:10pm – Nieve Ella
One to watch. Dreamy alt-pop with heart, soul, and indie girl magic. Stick around—she’s gonna be massive.

6:40pm – Alessi Rose
Acoustic sweetness and a chilled presence perfect for your cider-fuelled introspection moment. Breathe in. Breathe out.

8:15pm – Lightning Seeds
“Three Lions” might not be on the setlist, but it’s in your bones anyway. Infectious 90s hooks that’ll make your heart smile.

10:10pm – JAMES (HEADLINERS)
Sometimes, a band comes along that makes you feel everything at once. That’s James. Anthem after anthem, passion by the pint-load, and a final singalong to crown your weekend. “Sit Down”? More like stand up and roar.

🌊 RIVER STAGE – Sunday Discoveries & Tribute Mayhem

1:00pm – Esquire
Local lads with a jangly sound and youthful energy. Like The Kooks on energy drinks. A lush way to start the day.

2:00pm – Fantasy
Pop-rock newcomers with spark and swagger. They might be called Fantasy, but their set’s gonna feel real good.

3:15pm – Bull Harding
Raw vocals, bold lyrics, and more intensity than your group chat post-festival. Keep an eye on ‘em.

4:15pm – A Basic Fault
They may be called Basic, but they’re anything but. Alt-pop with experimental edges and a live set that’s magnetic.

5:15pm – Olivia Lunny
Slick, polished pop with a sprinkle of melancholy. Future chart-topper in the making.

6:15pm – The Kut
All-female rock trio kicking down the doors with punk energy and grunge fury. Support this noise—The Kut are loud and lush.

7:15pm – Tom A. Smith
Emotive singer-songwriter with festival-ready hooks. Sunday sunset, sorted.

8:25pm – Foo Fighterz (Tribute)
Yes, we’re ending the River Stage with a Foo Fighters tribute band, and yes, you will lose your mind during “Everlong”. Air guitars out, crowd-surfing optional (but encouraged).
