“This Feeling are the best in the business when it comes to finding new artists and propelling them upwards. It’s a pleasure to support what they do, it’s incredibly important that we support new music and the next generation of headliners here at the Isle of Wight Festival.” John Giddings
“10 years on and I still pinch myself we’ve got a stage at the Isle of Wight Festival. It’s a huge opportunity to give new acts their big break and it’s a responsibility we take very seriously and I’d like to say a HUGE thank you John Giddings for believing in us and investing in new music, legend!” Mikey Jonns (This Feeling founder)

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS FEELING FESTIVAL STAGES:
When I was a student in Sheffield I managed a band and despite consistently ramming venues, often supporting signed “industry” acts when doing so, they couldn’t catch a break at festivals.
So when John Giddings gave me the chance to host a stage at the Isle of Wight festival in 2015 I knew what I wanted to do; give acts who impressed and did well for This Feeling at their local grassroots venues the opportunity to show what they could do at a major festival.
And that’s what we’ve done ever since.
Since 2015 we have given over 1000 acts from ALL over the UK (and world!) an opportunity at major festivals including the Isle of Wight, Truck, Y Not, TRSMT, Tramlines, The Great Escape and Reading & Leeds.
Over 900 of them didn’t have a live agent at the time and for many it was their first ever festival performance.
This year is our 10th anniversary on the island including one “virtual” festival stage during Covid.
I’m so proud of this tent and what it represents and very grateful to everyone who’s helped along the way. Thank you! Mikey Jonns
