Sky Arts to show virtual Isle of Wight Festival - here's the full schedule

Sky Arts is set to air footage from over the year’s at the festival between June 12 and June 14.

The Isle of Wight Festival was forced to cancel this summer’s event due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday the festival announced its headliners for the 2021 festival, including Lewis Capaldi and Lionel Richie.

Fans who were planning on attending this year’s festival won’t have to totally miss out on the live music action after Isle of Wight Festival teamed up with Sky Arts to allow fans to celebrate some of the most iconic performances.

Hosted by Edith Bowman and Will Best, the show will create the greatest festival ever witnessed as they look back over the Isle of Wight Festival’s phenomenal history to relieve 30 minute sets from some of the event’s most iconic performers.

There will be 30 performances aired over three days exclusively on Sky Arts, with highlights including David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Fatboy Slim, Iggy Pop, Faithless, The Prodigy and many, many more.
