Full Moon Festival Drops Huge 2026 Headliner
Just when Manxies thought Full Moon Festival 2026 couldn’t get any tastier, Scotty Bradshaw has gone and dropped a whopper of a headline act.
Over the weekend, the festival founder confirmed that Fish56Octagon will be headlining Full Moon Festival 2026, closing out the weekend with the final set on Saturday night.
And yes, the hype is very real.
Announcing the news, Scotty said he was ‘absolutely thrilled’ to have Fish on board, describing him as one of the biggest rising stars in the DJ world.
‘I’ve followed Fish for a few years now online, and he has become one of the biggest rising stars in the DJ world, continuing to grow in popularity every single week,’ he said.
‘What’s really special is that he genuinely wants to come to the island, as he’s never been before, so let’s give this guy the welcome he truly deserves.’
If you don’t already know the name, Fish56Octagon is hard to miss.

Hailing from the UK, he’s taken the electronic music scene by storm thanks to his infectious energy, authentic rave-first attitude and marathon, multi-genre vinyl-heavy sets.
In the past 12 months alone, Fish has played more than 100 gigs, armed with a 3,000-strong vinyl collection, plus a stash of unreleased dubs from some of the hottest artists in the game.
His CV is impressive.
We’re talking seven sets at Glastonbury, appearances at Boomtown, Creamfields, Parklife, Reading and EDC, plus mainstage duties at Australia’s Beyond the Valley festival in front of 35,000 people.
He’s also played everywhere from Ibiza and Amsterdam to Bali, New Zealand, the USA and beyond. and he’s got an O2 Brixton Academy date lined up for March 2026, just for good measure.
Scotty added: ‘His multi-genre extended sets are something very different, and we are so buzzing to have an artist like this visiting us.’
Fish is also known for giving back to the scene, running a programme to support grassroots producers through his Octagon Discs label, while his own productions have been played by the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold and Kerri Chandler.
As previously announced, Full Moon Festival returns to Rosehill Farm on 26, 27 and 28 June 2026, marking the event’s fourth year and following a heartfelt announcement from Scotty late last year confirming the festival’s future after a challenging 2025.

Day tickets are on sale now, with full weekend tickets available, and if you were after early bird tickets, they end at midnight tonight!
As ever, the festival is subject to planning and licensing approval.
One thing’s for sure though, if this is how the lineup announcements are starting, Full Moon 2026 is already shaping up to be an absolute belter.
