While the coronavirus pandemic has put the live music industry on hold, music festivals are filling the void left by the cancellation of their 2020 editions with a series of art exhibitions.

Although the 50th anniversary edition of the Isle of Wight festival did not take place as scheduled in June, Masterpiece Art will pay tribute to the legendary British festival in the upcoming exhibition Wight Spirit, 1968-70.
