Your support makes all the difference.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Isle of Wight festival-goers but your weekend looks set to be a bit muddy.
Weather forecasters are predicting that, while temperatures will remain relatively steady in the day, the heavens will open up on Friady as both rain and thunder are expected - so make sure you're wearing wellies to The Prodigy.
Luckily, the following two days are set to be rain-free, with Saturday being partly cloudy and Sunday being just cloudy.
Hopefully some of the mud will have dried up in time for Fleetwood Mac’s performance Sunday night – if they’re feeling better by then that is.
According to the Weather Channel, the highest temperature predicted is 21 degrees on the Friday, falling to a low of seven degrees on the Sunday night – pack a jumper, people!
Of course, revellers had hoped for the sun to be shining all weekend, but the weather shouldn’t dampen anyone’s spirits as the line-up still looks incredible.
Performing alongside The Prodigy and Fleetwood Mac will be Blur, The Black Keys, Pharrell Williams and Paolo Nutini.
So remember: pack wellies, a coat and a jumper, maybe skip on the flip-flops.
