Three Rivers Music Festival returns to Durrants Farm in Porchfield over the May bank holiday weekend, running from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st May 2026.
The Isle of Wight’s independent, community-led festival has built a strong reputation for genre-spanning line-ups that prioritise live performance, local talent and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
A line-up for every taste
This year’s bill brings together an impressive spread of acts across reggae, hip-hop, live electronica, funk and bass-driven sounds.
Confirmed performers include Mungo’s Hi Fi featuring Aziza Jaye, Mista Trick Collective, Mike Freear (Slamboree DJ set), SAX RAPS n WAX featuring Mr Woodnote and Too Many Ts, The Gerry Cinna-Man Experience, The Scribes, The Bohemians, The Ohmz, and a special collaborative set from Jethro Eli, JB and Nino Marley.
Celebrating Island talent
The festival’s Community Stage shines a light on homegrown and grassroots artists, with Kindred Found, Free Ravens, Romy Helen, Daysi and Luca, Ulterior Motives, Emily Bowden, Monty and the Anywhens, Witches Promise and Sun Drum Forest all set to perform.
More than just music
Three Rivers also runs a large-scale community art project, this year involving Island schools and community groups, supported by Jewson.
Decorated wooden art boards created by those taking part will form the walls of the Community Village area, making the site itself a collaborative artwork.
A festival for all the family
Falling across the half-term holiday, Three Rivers offers an affordable, family-friendly alternative to larger commercial events, with accessible ticket pricing and a community-first ethos at its heart.
Volunteers are also still needed to help run the weekend, with a free ticket and meal voucher on offer in exchange for two six-hour shifts.
Full details and tickets are available on the Three Rivers Music Festival website.
