Groove Armada at Isle of Wight Festival 2023 PHOTOS

Luckily, the festival organisers had anticipated a big crowd due to the sell-out success of this year, and placed huge screens inside and out of the Big Top, so a few more thousand people were able to enjoy the set.

Known for I See You Baby and At The River, Groove Armada ramped things up a notch by bringing on stage MC M.A.D.
