A 3-DAY DANCE PARTY ON A MAGICAL ISLAND
If you love dance music like we do, Secret Island Festival has something for you to shake a leg, raise your hands in the air, skank and get seriously loose to from house and drum & bass to disco, roots, reggae, and ska.
4 stages. 3 party-packed days. More incredible acts than ever, including DJ Todd Terry, Fish56Octagon, The Cuban Brothers, Dan Shake, and 30 Years of Playaz. With more acts to be announced.
From day-party to full summer weekender: Secret Island is evolving. But don’t worry: it’s still fundamentally the same intimate, musically eclectic party you know and love.
The festival is organised by a group of best friends, with a lifelong love of dance music – and a shared goal: to put on a feel-good, inclusive, community-first party that you’ll never forget.
There’s 4 specialist stages at this year’s festival, providing a full spectrum of music
● Main stage: new design for 2026, expect house and underground sounds – and expect it to be loud
● DnB stage: we’ve got a killer line-up for all junglists in attendance, courtesy of local promoter heroes Rough Tempo
● Live bands stage: Curated by Blackcat Studios and back for a 2nd year by popular demand, our live stage will be showcasing live music leaning into roots, reggae and ska
● Disco stage: Funky floor fillers & deep house grooves
● Chillout area to relax and enjoy the views
On-site camping tickets available alongside your weekend ticket. Quiet camping and live-in vehicle pitches also available as add-ons on Skiddle.
