RHYTHMTREE comes to a triumphant end today (Sunday), following two days of local bands, some big names and loads of family-friendly attractions.
The eclectic event at Sticelett Farm, Thorness Bay, kicked off on Friday (July 8) and will conclude for eager festival-goers today.
But fear not! There’s still plenty more to look forward to through the course of today’s exciting line-up.
Tonight is party night when American fund and disco group The Fatback Band take to the stage.
The I Found Lovin’ singers will close the main stage, from 9pm.

Earlier in the evening, Ibibio Sound Machine will appear at 7pm, described as a clash of African and electronic elements in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk & disco and modern post-punk and electro - the band will open for Coldplay at Wembley Stadium in August.
Also on the line-up are Average White Band star Hamish Stuart, at 5.30pm, multi-instrumentalist N’famady Kouyate, from 4.15pm, and Cardiff-based reggae/ska/soul band Captain Accident at mid-afternoon from 3pm.
Brass band with a difference Tuba Libres and the Isle of Wight’s own Doug Aldred & The Silver Lining will perform on the Main Stage at 1.30pm and 12.15pm, respectively.
