It seems certain that the festival won't happen on the original dates. I think they will try and postpone it to later in the summer. The weekend you suggest seems a little tight, it just needs one delay in relaxing the rules, and it's over, but I could see a date in July or August as a possibility. Given that a great majority of the line-up is British, I think they have a better chance than some other festivals of going ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fella Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I've thought for some time that they will have to cancel again this year, unfortunately. The certainly won't be able to go ahead with their original dates, even if the lockdown easing goes completely to plan. I would imagine it would be very complicated and expensive to shift to another weekend, but then again, I would imagine the hunger for outdoor music festivals will be great once they are allowed, and so who knows? I would go - have been every year from 2008, and always have a great time, although I don't rate this years line-up too highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Stands a chance of going ahead as a trial event I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fella Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yes, the official Isle of Wight festival website has confirmed 16 - 19 September. Cool. Assume the line-up is staying the same. Not so cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
