Isle of Wight Festival 2024: The Prodigy, Pet Shop Boys and Green Day announced as headliners

Headlining Friday night’s Main Stage is pioneering English electronic group The Prodigy. Entertaining crowds with their iconic electronic anthems for over three decades, the Firestarter hitmakers continue to be one of the UK’s musical pioneers. They have sold more than 25m records, scored seven consecutive UK number one albums, and won numerous awards including BRIT, MTV VMA and EMA, Kerrang, and more.

On Saturday, Pet Shop Boys will headline with “Dreamworld: The Greatest Hits Live”. The legendary duo will perform tracks from their extensive catalogue that has earned them 22 UK Top 10 singles, and an Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the 2009 BRIT Awards.

American punk-rock heroes Green Day will close the main stage on Sunday night. The five-time Grammy Award winners and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, who have sold more than 75 million records globally, will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough album Dookie and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot at the festival.

Other big names announced today include Suede, The Streets, Beverley Knight, Crowded House, Simple Minds, McFly, Keane Blossoms, The Darkness, Toyah and Robert Fripp and Zara Larsson.

And closing the weekend, Jo Whiley brings her 90s Anthems to the Big Top on Sunday.
