Isle of Wight Festival 2022 What’s Hot | 10th Jun 2022 | 3min read Summer has become synonymous with hitting the beach, al fresco dining and most importantly, music festivals! In the UK alone, there are an average of 241 music festivals every year and one of our favourites is the Isle of Wight Festival! It began with a series of festivals between 1968 to 1970, widely acknowledged as Europe’s answer to Woodstock. In the ‘70s, the festival ran for 5 days and featured that era’s most iconic acts, including Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Chicago and more, performing in front of a crowd of over 600,000 people. From 1970-2001, the festival went on hiatus, but made an amazing comeback in 2002 featuring bands like Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kings of Leon, plus stand out solo performances from David Bowie, Sir Paul McCartney, Jay-Z and more. This year, the Isle of Wight Festival will be happening on the 16th to 19th of June at Seaclose Park, Newport with an explosive line-up! Let the good times roll at the Isle of Wight Festival!
