Wham 69 is the kind of act name that tells you exactly what kind of Sunday afternoon you are signing up for: the exuberant pop of Wham mixed with the punk energy of Sham 69, at The Waterfront in Totland Bay on 19 July. Nostalgia and dancefloor energy in a seafront setting, no booking, free entry, and food served all afternoon.
The July Sunday Live slots tend to bring the most varied crowds of the season: visitors who have discovered the series during their week on the island, regulars who have been coming since April, and families who have ended up at the western end of the island and found a reason to stay for the afternoon. Wham 69 suits this mix well: the material is familiar enough to hold the room and energetic enough to lift the afternoon above a pleasant backdrop.
Free entry. The Waterfront, Totland Bay. Music from 3pm. More music events on the Isle of Wight through the rest of the summer.
