Theme for this year’s Sky presents the IW Festival is Galactic Glamour & Space Oddities. This year festivalgoers are invited to step into another dimension. Galactic Glamour & Space Oddities. It is a celebration of the strange, the stylish and the spectacularly otherworldly – from classic sci-fi invaders and cosmic adventurers to futuristic glam, retro space-age kitsch and starlit disco queens.
If you want to enter the fancy dress parade, make sure to touchdown at Cirque de la Quirk on Saturday at 3PM!
Dust off your silver jumpsuits, throw on the sequins and create some celestial swagger – whether you fancy spending the day as a friendly extraterrestrial, a chrome-clad time traveller or something not yet discovered by science. Martians, astronauts, galactic guardians and mysterious visitors from another galaxy are all welcome.
Expect metallics. Expect neon. Expect inflatable UFOs and the occasional bit of cosmic chaos.
This year, the Isle of Wight won’t just be a music festival — it will be a close encounter.
