Secret Island Festival Returns for 2026!
Phase One Line-up Announcement!
We can finally announce the first wave of confirmed acts for the sixth outing of our award-winning, summer music event!

Phase one artists include high-profile DJs Todd Terry, Fish56Octagon, 30 Years of Playaz, Danny Byrd, Kenny Ken and Dan Shake as well as featuring live act, the legendary Cuban Brothers, and the return of local band Popes of Chillitown.
The event starts on Friday, 7th August, with Grammy-nominated American House DJ Todd Terry warming things up alongside two stages of musical acts running from 7-11pm. Camping opens at midday.
Saturday 12pm to 11pm with five stages of music spanning house, disco, Dnb, jungle, underground and live music until 11pm. Social media DJ legend, Fish56Octagon, headlines alongside Glastonbury festival regular Dan Shake, Kenny Ken and 30 years of Playaz.
Sunday gates open at 1pm for more music, food and fun until 9pm – with live music and a dance tent. Legendary international live music act The Cuban Brothers will play alongside bands and DJ’s across three stages as well as fairground fun, food, drink and a live choir. Open for all ages.
