Bill Joel is exclusively doing Old Trafford in the UK so he’s out. Would otherwise be a decent shout.

Think yr more likely to see David Gray than David Byrne at IOW.

Where could he crop up? Would love to catch him somewhere. He'd be a good fit for Green Man or Field Day.

I can see Giddings getting QOTSA to headline. They've got a big IOW shaped hole while they're in Europe and they're co-headlining pretty much every festival they're playing over here. It would be classic IOW.

Doing their own outdoor shows according to someone from Live Nation.

I think GM or EOTR are decent bets, if he doesn’t just do his own shows here. Or a sub slot at Latitude, worst case scenario.

They’d be a decent shout but I think the comment about those open air shows might ring true now.

We’re probably only days from finding this out once and for all now. Their tour ends this week I think.

Thank god because I think that sentence now accounts for half of my post count.

Final gig is in Edinburgh on Thursday night. I'm guessing they'll end up in Finsbury Park the day after Liam G

According to this thread, the IOW fb page said the announcement would be 28th Nov (probably where Neil's note comes from), but Giddings later said he's hoping to announce the headliners by 4th Dec, so I'm not expecting anything until then.

Just a thought....

Eric Clapton on the Sunday?

(along with Depeche Mode on the Saturday)

No insider info with this by the way. Just a thought....

[retrokev]

[galbani]

Shame... would have been a great headliner, absolute sellout.

Are Depeche Mode nailed on? i have just booked to go see them in Berlin, on the final date of the tour. I would fancy IOW though if they were to make an appearance as i have never seen them at a festival.

Was hoping for PJ but that looks off, but I shall take a trip to that big dump o2 or the Ziggo Dome for them. Gorillaz, QOTSA + DM and another it looks like?

I did hear somewhere an announcement after the early birds which were ending end of Nov , but they sold out early so I was guessing today...

[utwothefly]

FYI you can rule u2 out. Their over here at the o2 and in Manchester in Sept and Oct time. 

[Jne15]

Lineup is looking decent! 

[Lector]

Don't know for sure but I'm thinking something big on the way hear as it's the 50th and J.G has pulled off the who. Fleetwood mac. Queen. The police . R.E.M. so I think it might be something special on the way would love pink floyd but don't think It will be or maybe a Mr walters or david gilmor solo gig. I might be dreaming but only 2 more days till the 4th fingers crossed.
