Main sponsor BT is hosting a battle of the bands contest to give talent from our region and beyond a chance to perform on the main stage in June alongside the likes of Sex Pistols, The Police and Ian Brown.
One act from Yorkshire will be selected to appear at a final atop London's BT Tower on May 31, competing against musicians from nine other UK regions.
The contest offers unsigned bands, wannabe solo artists and up-and-coming DJs the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie, all of whom have appeared at the festival. Upload a track at bt.com/isleofwight complete with biography and photo.
