FAIRWEATHER Festival returns to the Isle of Wight next year as a two-day event.

It takes place on August 31 and September 1 at a new location, to be announced early next year.

This year's festival at Sandown featured the likes of Professor Green, Lucy Spraggan, The Chuckle Brothers, and FooR.

Event founder and promoter, Callum Fairweather, said: "We are returning in 2018, this time in aid of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. We wanted to keep things local and the Youth Trust is the leading mental health charity on the Island. We can't wait to share our exciting plans in the new year."

Event manager Luke Joynes added: "The response to Fairweather Festival this year was phenomenal and we can't wait to do it all over again in 2018. Keep an eye out on our social media sites for two headliner announcements, a fantastic new home and new stages."
