The Festival’s heritage reaches back over an extraordinary 51 years and has some incredibly rich and varied facts, here a just a few…
- The Festival began with a series of Festivals between 1968 and 1970 and was widely acknowledged as Europe’s equivalent of Woodstock.
- In 1970 over 5 days the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Who played to over 600,000 people
- There were no Festival between 1970 and 2002 whilst John Giddings (music promoter) seized the opportunity to relaunch it, and he still curates every part of the Festival we enjoy today.
- The Isle of Wight enjoys a micro climate and being just 2 hours from London yet across the water provides a feeling of escapism that other Festivals don’t.
The Isle of Wight Festival caters for everybody and even includes a Kidzone stage, all types of accommodation are available so whether you want to stay in a tent, a pod, an airstream, a holiday cottage, B&B, Hotel, apartment or a Kushti Cabin you have so many choices and not forgetting the foodies amongst you – the world is your oyster and this year you even have a Co-op right on your doorstep!
