Rock Island 2002

Rock Island was the first revived Isle of Wight Festival to take place on the Seaclose Park site in Newport on the Isle of Wight. It was a one-day event held on 3 June 2002. The event had a capacity of 22,000,[1] however only around 8 to 10,000 attended.[2] Local band Neglected Youth won the right to open the concert in a recent talent contest,[3] a tradition that would be continued throughout subsequent years of the festival. Limited camping facilities were also made available on fields nearby.

Line-up

Main Stage
Monday

Day tickets cost £35.[4]

gollark: Arch Linux (by the way).
gollark: Depending on how highly efficient™ the company is, that or just replace the entire board.
gollark: Anyway, what do the wise people of this channel think I should do regarding this? I can probably:- ignore the hypothetical capacitor and hope it hypothetically exploding is not important and has not caused/will not cause other damage- send it in for repair under the standard warranty and suffer for some time- upgrade the warranty (fairly cheap) for onsite support, somehow resolve logistical issues surrounding this, and have it maybe get fixed- borrow equipment from somewhere to attempt repairs myself
gollark: The "Ackerman routing protocol" was entirely made up, so yes, that is to be expected.
gollark: (this is over *LAN*; powerline adapters over really bad wiring or something)
