Late night

After midnight, WOWfest 2012 will be transformed into a sensual vision of Burlesque and cabaret, encompassing the romance & razzmatazz of turn of the century France whilst the WOW Club Night dance-floors will swirl into nostalgia with the great movements such as Soul, Reggae & Ska, 70′s Disco, or take the house down with total Bristol Yeyo cool DJ sets, to bring each night of the WOWfest Global Party to a close.

Green policy

The festival will aim to be as green as possible and has set up a sustainability plan, with waste and water initiatives, and aims to be totally solar powered.

Green travel

WOWFest will offer attendees the chance to travel to WOWFest without a car and stay for longer with camping expected to be available for up to 7 days. The Sunshine Trail cycle track goes to the festival site from Shanklin station and links tracks from Ryde and Cowes. There will be a bus station on site, and links from Hovertravel and Red Funnel ports for those without a car.

Charity

WOWFest will also support charities, giving back to where it draws down its inspiration – be that the Island, Africa, Caribbean, Latin-America or the far East.

More information will be here when available.
