The Barclaycard presents Isle of Wight Festival 2023 enters its final day (Sunday) with Robbie Williams, Manic Street Preachers, Blondie and Niall Horan sure to steal the show.
Opening the final day is Phoenix, an Isle of Wight artist whose music has soul and pop roots while embracing vocal influence from the likes of Jorja Smith and Amy Winehouse.
You can catch her on Main Stage from 11.20am.
There's also a special treat for George Ezra fans in the Big Top, with a special screening of his documentary, End to End.
Wight Noize competition winners The Optimists will perform at 12.20pm, with their rift-driven fusion of 90s and 00s sounds, with a modern touch.
Wowing the stage from 1.15pm with soaring vocals, infectious charismatic energy and her unique self-made wardrobe are Chinchilla.
Having burst onto the scene 10 years ago with her number one single ‘Ghost’, Ella Henderson has since ascended to a multi-platinum selling, two-time Brit Award nominee, with over a billion streams to her name.
Achieving five UK Top 10s as a lead artist, her most recent being ‘Let’s Go Home Together’ featuring last year’s Festival act Tom Grennan, there’s much to look forward to when Ella comes out on stage at 2.25pm.
International pop sensation MIKA has built an unshakable career and a catalogue crafting a world of gritty romance amidst the toy and playfulness of technicoloured alternative pop.
You can catch him up on Main Stage from 3.35pm.
Rising from the success of his platinum single ‘Hold Back the River’, English singer/songwriter James Bay crafts moving and powerful folk-pop, delivered with a warm and raspy voice.
Since then, his hit single ‘Let It Go’ has been streamed over a billion times on Spotify.
James will be performing on the Main Stage at 4.45pm.
On stage from 6pm is singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Niall Horan, who has taken the world by storm. Since One Direction split, Niall has seen huge success with songs including ‘Slow Hands’ and ‘This Town’, both reaching top 10 in the UK charts.
This week, Niall has achieved a second UK number-one album with his most recent release ‘The Show’.
One of the most influential bands of our time – performing for the last four decades – Blondie head out on stage at 7.30pm.
Among their hits is the ground-breaking rock-disco hybrid ‘Heart of Glass’, the equally influential hip-hop fantasia ‘Rapture’, the stalker-love song ‘One Way Or Another’, and the lifting calypso ‘The Tide Is High’.
And finally, the Sunday night headliner, Robbie Williams plays Main Stage from 9.20pm.
Robbie tumbled out of the boy band Take That into a solo career that no one, not even him, could yet quite imagine.
Over 85 million albums sold across the globe – the most of any solo artist, equalled only by Elvis – 14 number-one singles, the most concert tickets sold in a day (1.6 million in November 2005) and one of the fastest-selling albums of the 21st century with ‘Progress’ – that really only touches the surface when it comes to Robbie Williams.
Meanwhile, in the Big Top, there is a special morning screening of George Ezra's End to End at 12.45pm, followed by Toyah & Robert at 3pm, Lovejoy at 4.15pm, Gang of Youths at 5.30pm, The Enemy at 7pm, Echo & The Bunnymen at 8.30pm and finally, closing the Festival, Manic Street Preachers at 10.30pm.
