Jess Glynne has been listed as a performer for Isle of Wight Festival 2021, despite being given a lifetime ban a year ago.

In June 2019, Isle of Wight Festival organiser John Giddings said Jess Glynne "will never be booked to play the Isle of Wight again" after she pulled out of her 2019 performance moments before she was due on stage because she felt "weak and full of anxiety".

Glynne uploaded a lengthy response on Instagram stating that she was "so so gutted, sorry and upset that I couldn’t perform yesterday. I came all the way I got ready and was about to head to stage but I just couldn’t do it."

12 months on from Giddings saying she'll "never be booked" to play the festival again, and Glynne has been announced for Isle of Wight's 2021 event.

Glynne says of being included on the 2021 lineup, "The Isle of Wight Festival and Jess Glynne have unfinished business and both are delighted that she will be returning next year. Jess is coming back for her fans and will have a show for you that will not disappoint, so get ready!"

Isle of Wight Festival 2021 takes place from 17-20 June. Tickets go on sale Monday (15 June) from 9am BST at isleofwightfestival.com.
