Doubt Elton, he is doing Bestival this year, so would he do two IOW shows in two years

[rawaudioinput]

The Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Muse would be lovely.

[daniel.k]

I wouldnt like Depeche Mode, but I would watch the other two. Sounds a good line up

[Muppetmark]

The Prodigy, Depeche Mode, Muse would be lovely.

I'll hopefully be living in Southampton by that time so I should be able to just hop on a ferry and go; which would be very convenient if those were the headliners.

I'm hoping for:

Friday

Main: The Prodigy // Dizzee Rascal // Example // White Lies // Labrinth

Big Top: New Order

Saturday

Main: Depeche Mode // Jack White // Manic Street Preachers // The Lumineers // Miles Kane

Big Top: DJ Fresh // Crystal Castles

Sunday

Main: Muse // The Vaccines // Foals // Bombay Bicycle Club // Editors

Big Top: The Specials

Managed to show this to John Giddings tonight; he liked a couple of the acts on here, asked a mate to write one of them down.

[daniel.k]

How did you show your list to him, and which did he write down? Surely he could remember one name

rawaudioinput what else did John say to you, and why was he saying it to you

[rawaudioinput]

He was having a drink with a colleague at the Southbank Centre and I recognised him so I went over to him and said I was a fan of IOW Festival and said he's put on some great acts before to which he said thanks and asked me to sit down with him and have a chat as he was really interested in a punters' view; then we ended up chatting for a good couple of hours going over different possible headliners, how other festivals were doing, how IOW did this year, etc. Really funny, charming man with a real passion for music; bought me a pint too which was nice.

Sounds great im jealous now, I would love the chance to talk to a festival booker and bounce ideas off them. You should have asked him out for a date and got his number just incase you have another good idea

[daniel.k]

Knowing your tastes dan you shouldn't be within 100 miles of a festival booker.

A couple of things I'll share publicly is that when I suggested White Lies he said they didn't go down to well last time and that he didn't fancy booking The Prodigy again as headliners as it was too soon.

What do you guys think about that?

[rawaudioinput]

I doubt The Prodigy will want to do an exclusive though; I could see them at R&L, Glasto, RockNess, maybe something like Wakestock, etc. I hope not as well as I'd like to go IOW next year but I really want to see The Prodigy.
