The Isle of Wight Festival 2017 has come to an end for another year with an unforgettable performance from the legendary Sir Rod Stewart – the true climax of a safe and successful weekend.
Up to 50,000 revellers woke to blue skies across Newport ahead of a day crammed with not-to-be-missed performances from the likes of Bastille, Clean Bandit, The Vamps, George Ezra, Imelda May and The Strypes.
Scouting for Girls took to the Main Stage this afternoon (Sunday) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first Isle of Wight Festival appearance.
By mid-afternoon the clouds had rolled in and the wind had increased, but that didn’t stop the fantastic atmosphere that has been buzzing throughout the entire Festival site since Day 1. It wasn’t long until the sun was shining once again in true Isle of Wight style.
Despite security concerns the event passed without issue with what appears to be a successful Policing operation from all involved. Extra security checks led to a few queues on Thursday, but staff and revellers alike soon got into the swing of things.
McFly’s Dougie Poynter and footballer Peter Crouch were once again seen enjoying the offerings of the Festival.
