The Acoustic Stage

The Acoustic Stage

Isle of Wight

So what’s it all about?

Now in its fourth year, The Acoustic Stage (formerly the Bandstand) at the Isle of Wight Festival is about supporting young, up and coming bands, developing a platform for new and original music.

The stage is programmed and run by Platform One, the Isle of Wight’s very own independent, not for profit Music College. The stage highlights the wealth of talent that exists on the small, yet musically vibrant Island.

The Acoustic Stage will feature over fifty acts over the duration of the festival – music from acoustic tunes through to full on rock bands – this is the place to purchase a cool drink, sit on the bank and listen to some high quality music.

The Acoustic Stage is also open on Thursday night for all those festival campers – look out for the seriously talented Island band, 'The Operators’ who will be headlining the stage at 11.00am

The Acoustic Stage represents Solo’s (the festival organisers) ongoing commitment in helping Platform One to support and develop young island based musicians – a big thank you to Solo!

Platform One run full time courses from Level 1 through to a Foundation Degree in Commercial Music and a BA(Hons) in Commercial Music – if you are serious about studying music then contact Platform One – 01983 537550 - www.platformone.org
