What's the best thing about this festival?

Travelling down from Aberdeen with 4 Friends all in our 50's, sleeping in motorhome, awning, tent, can't wait for The Prodigy, Johnny Marr, Simple Minds...going to be ace...well excited.

I’ve been 3 times before and am going again this year. There’s no doubt there is a whiff of corporatism about it, so if that’s a turn off, then be prepared, but I can happily ignore it.

 

So, the best things… the land and surroundings are really nice. If it’s warm and dry, it is a lovely spot to enjoy the music. The Arena is well laid out and small enough to get round, and you should easily be able to get to all the acts you want. The vibe is very chilled and family friendly. The smaller stages which usually have local and covers bands are great fun.
 

Eats and drinks a tad overpriced the last time I went, but in line with what most other festivals are doing.
 

I would not go if the line up didn’t appeal, but this year I think it’s great and am looking forward to the weekend tremendously.

Honestly it’s just fun, there’s the adventure of getting on the ferry, lots of cheesy music where you can act an idiot, cover bands that again you can act an idiot and sing every word, the people are nice.  I normally go to Glastonbury and last year we went to IOW and I really don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun at

a festival

We'd been trying for a few years to get Glastonbury tickets, this year having lost out we decided to try IOW and have to say its probably one of the most fun, but relaxed weekends I've had. The layout of the festival is great and there is plenty of different alternative acts to make it worth while regardless of your music tastes
