Pete Tong and The Essential Orchestra bring Ibiza to Seaclose Park – Music News

Festival goers were treated with a euphoric set of dance classics and special guests from headliner Pete Tong and The Essential Orchestra yesterday, for the Saturday instalment of cinch presents The Isle of Wight Festival 2022.

Jessie Ware brought sensual disco pop for some mid afternoon grooving, and national treasures Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott continued the good vibes with their sing-along classics. The festivals’ younger crowd swooned over Blossoms and their feel good indie pop bops, and led by charismatic frontman Sergio Pizzorno, Kasabian were effortlessly cool with a career spanning set, showcasing new bangers ‘CHEMICALS’ and ‘SCRIPTVRE’ between hits ‘Shoot The Runner’ and ‘Bless This Acid House’ – bringing close friend Peter Crouch on stage for crowd pleasing closer ‘Fire’. Pete Tong Ibiza Classics wrapped up the main stage in style with transcendental dance reworks, accompanied by The Essential Orchestra and special guests including Jessie Ware for ‘Running/Finally’ and John Newman for ‘Feel The Love’.
