Tom Jones
What's New Pussycat was the opening song and surefire crowd sing-a-long for Sir Tom Jones's set on Friday night at the Isle of Wight Festival 2021.
He followed it up with more of his old classics such as It's Not Unusual and Delilah, more recent hits such as Sex Bomb and Kiss, and mixed this in with some tracks off his latest Number One album Surrounded By Time.
The Script
Irish rock band The Script were back on the Isle of Wight Festival's Main Stage in September 2021, with a crowd-pleasing set and a visit to the photographer's pit, by lead singer Danny O'Donoghue.
The ex-The Voice coach jumped down to meet the audience and asked to borrow a fan's phone, before ringing her ex and singing a song down the line.

Duran Duran
Beach balls, confetti, some (unexpected?) fireworks and hit after hit after hit were the signature of Isle of Wight Festival headliners Duran Duran, on the Sunday night of the Isle of Wight Festival 2021.
The supergroup, with a 40 year history, played everything from View to a Kill to Rio, as well as some sing-a-long covers.
Snow Patrol
SNOW Patrol gave Isle of Wight Festival goers a welcome reminder of their quality on their return to Seaclose Park in September 2021.
The Irish rock band first performed at the Isle of Wight Festival back in 2004, went on to headline three years later and returned last year, treating the crowd to many of their hits, from Chasing Cars to Run and Chocolate.
