Lunar-tic Weekend Incoming at Full Moon Festival

Final bits are being nailed down for one of the Isle of Man’s wildest weekends – Full Moon Festival returns from this Friday, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest one yet.

Now in its third year, the three-day music, arts and wellness bash at Rosehill Farm has exploded from a mad little idea into one of the island’s must-do summer blowouts.

And founder Scotty Bradshaw’s not shy about it: ‘The dream is for Full Moon to be the island’s second-biggest event after the TT.’

There’ll be six music zones, forest stages, glamping, a barn, and wellness galore, from sunrise yoga to 80s-themed aerobics.

‘I thought people were nuts,’ said Scotty, ‘but then everyone’s in the ice bath or doing yoga at 10am with a hangover – it’s brilliant!’

The weather’s playing up a bit, but Scotty’s got it covered: ‘We’re boxing everything in with motorhomes until the wind passes. Worst case, everyone fits in the barn – it’s all going to be good!’

Headline acts include OK Computer (a top-tier Radiohead tribute) and Liverpool DJ legend Yousef. ‘He doesn’t even play Manchester or Liverpool that often anymore – landing him was a big one.’

Local faves like Clash Vooar are also on the bill. ‘They’re seriously underrated – we’ve always championed local talent,’ says Scotty.

Tickets are flying: under 10 motorhome spots left, last few Saturday day tickets, and weekend passes about 70% sold. Over 850 tickets are already gone. ‘We’re buzzing,’ he added.

Onsite parking’s £6, no drop-offs on Richmond Hill – use the taxi zone inside the site instead.

Scotty’s got big plans with dreams of booking Rick Astley and growing the festival into a proper UK player – but for now, Full Moon 2025 is ready to shine.
