Program
The festival grounds at Seaclose Park offer four days of non-stop live music, interactive art, and entertainment. The musical action spans multiple stages, delivering a mix of chart-topping acts, rising stars, and late-night DJ sets. Thursday serves as the official arrival day with pre-parties for campers, while the major Main Stage performances run from Friday through Sunday.
Tickets
Weekend tickets, which include standard camping, typically cost around £320, with single-day tickets starting from £125. Tickets can be purchased via the official website and Ticketmaster. Various upgrades are available, including VIP passes, campervan permits, and luxury glamping. Early Bird tickets usually sell out extremely fast, so advance booking is highly recommended.
Visitor Tips
- Access to the island requires a ferry ride (via Wightlink, Red Funnel, or Hovertravel) from Portsmouth or Southampton. Book your ferry tickets well in advance!
- Dedicated shuttle buses run directly from the major ferry ports to the festival gates.
- The campsite opens on Thursday morning – arrive early to secure a prime pitching spot.
- Pack waterproof clothing and wellies; mid-June weather in the UK can be unpredictable.
- The festival operates on a cashless system, so ensure you have a valid card or mobile payment method ready.
