Isle of Wight Festival
Seaclose Park, Newport:
13 - 15 June
In the music festival calendar,
early June means one thing –
the Isle of Wight Festival. This
year’s event features an
exceptional line-up, including
The Police, The Sex Pistols,
Kaiser Chiefs, The Zutons, Iggy & The Stooges, Lily Allen, Ian
Brown, KT Tunstall and
Scouting for Girls. But it’s more
than just great, live music: the
laid-back vibe, the beautiful
setting and the feeling of
connecting with past festival
history, all conspire to create a
unique experience. Ask any of
the 50,000 people who attend
and they’ll tell you the same. www.isleofwightfestival.org
