About WOWfest

… for people who want to Global Party

Imagine the scene…. 20,000 music lovers gathering on the Isle of Wight in a stunning expanse of 200 acres of partyland, accommodating 5 main stages, taking place over 3 days, offering diverse & heterogenous music, with pod pads, yurts, tipis, bell tents, camping & VIP tipis, to a place where culture meets harmony, all culminating in one triumphant global party… that is the ethos of WOWfest!

Our sunshine trail cycle route leads you to an eclectic mix of music, art & dance from across the globe, whilst circus performers will regale you into a world of aerial mystique but look out for trolley dollies, Doris Mary & Marge (AKA Granny Turismo) who will greet & entertain you over the festive weekend. Island buses are FREE with WOWfest tickets so you can take one to your summer holiday fest instead, if you don’t fancy the old bike.

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 heady close.
