All Wight Now

All Wight Now was conceived as a project to celebrate the 50th Anniversaries of the original Isle of Wight Festivals of 1968, 1969 and 1970 – the music, the memories and the legacy.

The name, All Wight Now, recalls one of the biggest-selling singles of 1970: “All Right Now” – performed live by ‘Free’ during their iconic set on the last day of the 1970 Festival at Afton.

Below are articles which mention All Wight Now.
