The Isle of Wight festival has a historical significance because the first editions of the festival were held from 1968 to 1970 and have hosted a lot of bands and artists such as Jefferson Airplane (1968), Bob Dylan (1969), The Who (1969), Jimi Hendrix (1970), The Doors (1970), Miles Davis (1970), and many more.
The festival, after a long pause, was reintroduced in 2002 and is active today with three days of music, every year in the month of June. The festival is now run by companies that no longer have any connection with the organization of 1968-1970 events.
Today the festival is held at Seaclose Park in Newport, the exact center of the island of Wight. The latter can be easily reached from the south coast of the UK.
With Isle Of Wight Festival the past joins the present and offers lovers of festivals and live music three days of pure fun. The festival also offers:
- a large camping area with everything you need to recharge the batteries between a live concert and another;
- disabled access;
- a wide choice of hotels, apartments and B&B in the vicinity of the festival, for those who want more comfort;
- many other extras to be discovered!
