Lewis Capaldi, Lionel Richie, Kasabian, Pete Tong and Muse are the headline acts for the Isle of Wight Festival in 2022.

Nile Rodgers & Chic, Blossoms, Rudimental and Tom Grennan will also perform at the event, which will run from June 16 to 19 next year.

The festival returned to Seaclose Park in 2021 after it was cancelled in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 2021 festival was pushed back from the regular slot in June to September and featured artists including Liam Gallagher, Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran.

Capaldi and Richie will headline the 2022 festival on the Friday night, while Kasabian and DJ Pete Tong, who will be joined by the Heritage Orchestra for Ibiza classics, will perform on Saturday.

Supermassive Black Hole rockers Muse will close the festival on Sunday night.

The 2022 instalment will also feature performances from Sigrid, Craig David Presents TS5, The Vaccines, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, Shaggy, Happy Mondays, Mavis Staples, UB40 ft Ali Campbell & Astro, The Proclaimers and The Coral, with more names yet to be announced.

Festival promoter John Giddings, said: ‘We couldn’t have asked for a better return to the island this year: we had sunshine all weekend and some fantastic performances.

‘We’re already looking ahead to next year and the artists announced today can’t wait to come and entertain us over June 16-19 2022.’

Earlier this year, Lewis took a step back from social media and rescheduled his live shows to focus on his next album, and he admitted he was ‘terrified’ of working on his second LP.

Back in March, he said: ‘Just want to start off this wee note by saying how class it is to see things looking more hopeful for the world after an absolutely horrible year.

‘I’ve been looking back at the madness of my life for the last little while and feeling really grateful to be able to call this music carry on a job for the past few years.

‘I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been terrified about making my next album since the moment I finished Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent. I’ve been writing loads of tunes and I can’t wait for you to hear them.’
