The biggest 80s festival to rock the Isle of Wight is back for another year!

Hold on to your 80s ra-ra skirts for a little while longer and don’t chuck your roller boots away just yet, as the Isle of Wight is gearing itself up for another family friendly festival!

Back for a third year, the purpose of Jack Up The 80s remains the same, to raise awareness for Island charity Wight Crystal.

So get ready to don your ‘Choose Life’ t-shirts, florescent headbands and leg warmers for a weekend of reminiscing about Sony Walkmans, video recorders and listening to your favourite bands on your treasured radio cassette.
