The Isle of Wight Festival could be set to go ahead this year but at a later date, The Price Is Wight has announced.

Posting on Facebook, the ticket providers said organisers are exploring the possibility of hosting the event in September.

A spokesperson for The Price Is Wight said:

"The Festival organisers are looking at the possibility of moving Isle of Wight Festival 2021 to the weekend of 16th-19th September 2021!!!

"They are currently working hard behind-the-scenes doing everything possible to make this a reality

"We don't have anything further to tell you right now but will keep you updated - stay tuned & let us know what you think

"If you haven't already got your tickets don't forget we have Payment Plan & Full Payment Tickets available...including Islander Special."

It followed the Government's Roadmap announcement, which unveiled plans to end all social distancing requirements by June 21.

The Isle of Wight Festival was due to end a day before that date on June 20, and start on June 17.

This year's line-up was carried over from last year's event which was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Acts including Lionel Ritchie, Lewis Capaldi, Duran Duran and Jess Glynne are set to take to the stage at Seaclose Park.
