Chris Weston worked as an electrician at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, and photographed behind the scenes action whilst the stage was being constructed, as well as the pop acts and the huge crowds. Chris sadly passed away in 2017. His family and a close friend are working together to ensure that his legacy lives on in his iconic photographs.

We hope you enjoy browsing through these images, which form an authentic social history of this huge event for the many thousands of people who can claim “I Was There”.
