VIDEO: Thousands of festival-goers have arrived on the Island this morning (Thursday) for what is set to be a weekend to remember as the Isle of Wight Festival 2014 gets underway.
The sun is shining down on Seaclose Park as thousands travel across the Solent and onward to Newport to pitch their tents and prepare for a weekend packed full of headline acts, beautiful surroundings and one great big party atmosphere.
Everything is in place for when the gates open at midday, with up to 50,000 people expected to descend on Seaclose Park over the next 4 days with not a drop of rain in sight. You can check out the latest weather forecast between now and Monday here.
Taking to the stage tonight, Boy George; Inspiral Carpets; From the Jam and The Doors Alive all play the BT Sport Big Top. You can follow our social media accounts for reminders of when top acts are about to take to the stage – @islandecho // Facebook.
