JUST days after the dust settled on the most successful Isle of Wight Festival, organisers have announced a new date for next year's event.

It has been confirmed that the festival will take place between June 13 and 16, 2019.

Early bird tickets for the event will be available from 9am tomorrow (June 29).

Festival director John Giddings said: “From the response we are getting it appears to have been our best year so far. 

"Having sold out in advance was fantastic, the acts on the weekend all delivered, the audience really took the 50th anniversary gold-themed day to heart, and the weather certainly helped.

"Here’s to 2019."

This year's festival saw the likes of Kasabian, The Killers, Liam Gallagher and Sheryl Crow take to the stage in Newport, Isle of Wight.
