The music of the Isle of Man reflects [[Celt]]ic, Norse and other influences, including from its neighbours, [[Scotland]], [[Ireland]], [[England]] and [[Wales]]. A wide range of music is performed on the island, such as rock, blues, jazz and pop.

Its traditional folk music has undergone a revival since the 1970s, starting with a music festival called {{lang|gv|[[Yn Chruinnaght]]}} in [[Ramsey, Isle of Man|Ramsey]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Trad music in the Isle of Man |url=http://www.ceolas.org/Regions/Manx-article.html |access-date=28 February 2015 |website=Ceolas.org |archive-date=13 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150413002917/http://www.ceolas.org/Regions/Manx-article.html |url-status=live}}</ref> This was part of a general revival of the Manx language and culture after the death of the last native speaker of Manx in 1974.

Orchestral and song composer [[Haydn Wood]] grew up on the Isle of Man, moving there in 1885, aged three years old. The island and its folk tunes inspired Wood's music, resulting in the compositions ''Manx Rhapsody (Mylecharaine), Manx Countryside Sketches, Manx Overture,'' and the 1933 tone poem ''{{lang|gv|Mannin Veen}}'' ([[Manx language|Manx]] for "Dear Isle of Man"), based on four Manx folk tunes and scored for wind band.<ref name=scow>{{Cite web |url=http://www.musicweb-international.com/garlands/Haydnwood.htm |title=The Music of Haydn Wood by Philip Scowcroft |website=Musicweb-international.com |access-date=14 March 2018 |archive-date=10 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180310032641/http://www.musicweb-international.com/garlands/Haydnwood.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> His older brother Harry Wood (1868–1939) was also a musician: a violinist, composer and conductor who became known as "Manxland's King of Music".<ref>''[https://manxnationalheritage.im/shop/product/the-life-and-times-of-harry-wood/ The Life and Times of Harry Wood, Manxland's King of Music]{{Dead link|date=February 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}'', Manxnationalheritage.im, Maurice Powell, 2018</ref>

The Isle of Man is mentioned in the [[The Who|Who]] song "[[Happy Jack (song)|Happy Jack]]" as the homeland of the song's titular character, who is always in a state of ecstasy, no matter what happens to him. The song "The Craic was 90 in the Isle of Man" by [[Christy Moore]] describes a lively visit during the Island's tourism heyday. The Island is also the birthplace of Maurice, Robin and Barry Gibb, of the [[Bee Gees]]; a bronze statue of the trio was unveiled on Douglas promenade in July 2021.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-57769115 |title=Isle of Man Bee Gees statue unveiled on Douglas seafront |work=[[BBC News]] |date=8 July 2021 |access-date=20 February 2022 |archive-date=31 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220131123745/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-57769115 |url-status=live}}</ref>
