Rhythmtree Festival Returns For 2022

The Isle of Wight's Rhythmtree Festival is back for 2022.

The popular event has been absent for the last two years, due to COVID restrictions, but is now back for its 10th year celebration.

This year, Rhythmtree will be happening at a new site at Sticelett Farm in Thorness (located between Porchfield and Gurnard).

Organisers said:

"With huge support, we’ve battled through a few years of adversity as we faced the challenges of Covid and its impact on the events industry, along with a very sad move away from Three Gates Farm.

"We feel our will deliver everything you expect from Rhythmtree and more.

"The new site has the familiar Oak tree lined fields only three miles from Three Gates Farm, but you can also enjoy a stunning sea view to enrich your Rhythmtree experience. Beautiful rolling grassland with a small, yet uniquely special, woodland area allows us to provide an equally immersive experience to our loyal Rhythmtree family.

"Sticelett Farm is everything we dreamed of to deliver a 10th anniversary spectacle never to be forgotten."

Over three days on July 8, 9 and 10, acts will include reggae’s finest The Wailers, English singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy and American funk and disco band, The Fatback Band.

Rhythmtree 2022 will also feature The Frolick Inn, The Didg, The Rum Shack, The Magic Teapot, a beautiful healing field, Woods Stage, a new world of children’s creative activities, Spoken Word and Carnivale.

The new leafy tree bordered site will host a vibrant carnival procession and be peppered with local food stalls and craft exhibits.

Organisers added:

"The Rhythmtree journey will be familiar, comforting and promises to be a voyage of discovery.

"The last Rhythmtree show was described as ‘pretty near perfect’ in the eFestivals review and the festival itself has undoubtedly stood the test of time with a decade of shows bringing industry giants such as Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and legendry drummer, Ginger Baker, to a field on a farm - on the Isle of Wight.

"Nothing has changed, yet everything is different as it has been nurtured and developed. Now, from a wealth of experience, love and unbridled optimism we present to you. It's time to trust the magic of new Rhythmtree beginnings."
