Who says seniors are too old to enjoy music festivals? If you have a look at these photos we took at last year’s Isle of Wight Festival, you’ll understand why we’re still excited to be hopping on the ferry again on Thursday evening. See you all again the week after next. We’re off to hear headliners The Who, and Queen with Adam Lambert. There’s a really good Irish band there too called ‘The High Kings’. Rock on!

Sam has earned this by the time he has driven 4 hours to Portsmouth to get to the ferry, carried my suitcase up the stairs of the hotel at Shanklin, then driven 30 mins to the centre of Newport, and then walked for 45 mins to the main stage!

Jethro Tull – Ian Anderson can still stand on one leg and play the flute!

Enjoy yourselves. My 50 yer old son is off to Glastonbury shortly for the umpteenth time. We have our very own festival just a mile from our home – Electric Picnic at the end of August. And, yes, the High Kings are very good.

Never been to Glastonbury as it always seems to rain there.

Great story and pictures. I’m writing about Bonnaroo tomorrow, an alternative music fest in TN this weekend!

If we’re realistic, music festivals are perfect for us older people—-the music is loud enough for us to hear it—ha ha!!
Have fun!

Thanks Jodie. Sometimes it’s too loud and I have to use earplugs at the indoor festivals!
