About Isle Of Wight Festival 2009
The original Isle Of Wight Festival will forever be etched in musical history after it housed Jimi Hendrix's last ever performance,
attracted the largest ever UK festival crowd and led to any future festivals being banned from the island after nearly half
a million hippies turned the 1970 site into a chaotic free-for-all.
However, since it was re-ignited in 2002, the festival
has forged a new identity that differs from its predecessors. Big names like The Rolling Stones and The Police honour the
spirits of greats like Dylan and The Doors as some 60,000 fans annually cross the Solent for the three-day bash.
With
one main stage and a big top the festival is predominantly about the music and a varied line-up means there is often something
for everyone with The Cribs, Amy Winehouse and Sugababes performing recently.
Onsite there is a funfair as well as
a selection of food and drink stalls. Camping is available from the Thursday.
