Isle Of Wight Festival Sells Out, Announces On The Gate Tickets Scheme

Tickets for this weekend's Isle of Wight festival in Newport have sold out, organisers have announced.

The event, which begins on Friday (June 12), will be headlined by Razorlight, Sterophonics, Neil Young and The Prodigy.

Although advance tickets have sold out, a limited number will be available on the gate.

The move comes as organisers attempt to clamp down on ticket touting, which has plagued the event in recent years.

The advance weather forecast suggest fans should expect a mixture of sunshine and showers, with temperatures peaking at 18 degrees.

Other acts set to appear over the weekend include The Pixies, The Rifles, The Zombies and Paolo Nutini.
