Isle of Wight Takeover 2026

The Isle of Wight Takeover is so much more than a car show — it’s a full driving holiday experience for clubs, families, and enthusiasts. Every year, groups from across the UK and beyond travel to the island for a weekend packed with cars, community, and unforgettable memories in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Built on passion and connection, the Takeover brings people together. Whether you’re catching up with friends, meeting new faces, or admiring stunning builds, the atmosphere is all about shared enthusiasm and good vibes.

Rev Off Competition
Feel the energy as cars go head-to-head in our famous Rev Off, with the crowd backing their favourites.

Audio Battle
From clarity to chest-thumping bass, the Audio Battle showcases some of the best sound systems in the scene.

Live Dyno
Watch real power figures unfold live as cars hit the dyno in front of the crowd.

Wristband exchange will be available on Friday and Saturday, allowing you to swap your ticket for a wristband and hanger so you can enter quickly on Sunday morning.

Plus a full evening of entertainment including:
✨ Live music & DJ sets
🎆 Spectacular fireworks display
🍔 Street food vendors (available to purchase)
🍻 Fully stocked licensed bar

All set within a high-energy, festival-style atmosphere to close out the day in true Takeover style.

Whether you’re coming for the cars, the party, the family fun, or the island escape, the Isle of Wight Takeover has something for everyone.

Join us for Takeover 2026 and be part of our biggest and most exciting year yet. 🚗🌴💥
