The Isle of Wight Festival is one of the most historic rock and pop festivals in the world, revived in 2002 following the legendary 1968-1970 events that attracted Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Bob Dylan, and now drawing over 60,000 attendees each June to Seaclose Park in Newport. Offering a mix of heritage rock, contemporary pop, and emerging artists in a charming island setting, it is a beloved British summer institution. Bournemouth on the nearby Dorset coast is a popular hotel base for those travelling to and from the Isle of Wight by ferry.
