John Giddings has just said on the IOW forum that he hasn't ruled Pearl Jam out he was misquoted! The fact he has come on to state that surely means they are 1 of them??

Well, interviews not been printed yet. You could always get a clarification from him beforehand!

Is it an out of context thing and not a mis-quoted then?

In anycase Pearl Jam for next year.

I've tried - no reply as yet - I have read his post on the forum and decided that whilst I've not misquoted him, he may have not meant what he said, so in fairness I've removed them from the piece.

Isle Of Wight Festival festival organizer John Giddings has said that he is hoping to secure an 'American Trilogy' of headliners for the festival in 2012.

The festival has only confirmed one headliner so far, Bruce Springsteen, who will headline the festival's final night (June 24), but Giddings has now said that he is hoping to secure two other American headliners for the event's other nights.

Speaking to eFestivals, Giddings responded to a question about whether he was looking to book three American headliners by confirming he made offers to two other US acts as well as Springsteen. He also said that the festival's second stage 'The Big Top' would have "more dance and urban acts than ever before".

Giddings said of his

Well I've made offers to them, so let's not tempt fate, but I'm aiming for the 'American Trilogy'. What that means is that in the 'Big Top' I'm going to have more dance and urban acts than I've ever had before.
