Platform One stage returns to Isle of Wight Festival: The only place to see some emerging metal

Platform One College of Music have had a close working relationship with the Isle of Wight Festival since its resurrection in 2002.  

The Platform One Stage is returning to the Main Arena of the Festival this year, programmed and run by Platform One College of Music. 

Showcasing the wealth of talent
This is the Isle of Wight’s very own independent, not-for-profit Music College. 

This unique stage highlights the wealth of talent that exists on such a small, yet musically vibrant Island. 

Diverse and eclectic mix of music
The stage will feature a diverse and eclectic mix of music over the duration of the festival.  Music from acoustic tunes through to full on rock bands, with everything in between.  (This will be the only stage to see some emerging metal).

There will certainly be something for everyone.  This is the place to listen to some high-quality original music.  

Giddings: Proud to help in any way possible
It really is amazing that such an iconic festival is so supportive of nurturing new talent.  John Giddings, the man behind the Isle of Wight Festival, has been an active patron of Platform One since 2004. 

John Giddings, said,

“Platform One do an amazing job in nurturing talent and helping their students learn about the music business.

“We are proud to be able to help them in any way possible.”
