Saw a post on FB, The Who will be announcing something in the next few weeks...

It’s not about when the bands make an announcement it’s the festival them selves who make it.  I’d say it’s more likely they aren’t playing if the bands are making an announcement.  

I think the Who have played far too recently to be coming back.

Yes I agree, although the timing of the who’s announcement seems very close to IOWs. Mostly both parties (band and festival) put posts out of some sort to advertise the fact they will be playing. It’s probably a coincidence but thought I’d mention as there’s nothing much else to go on about atm ?

Just watched Joni Mitchell IoW performance on YouTube 

Now she would be a lady I would like to see this year...

I said him back in October.  Think he would be a perfect fit. 

[The All Round Ball :|]

Could happen but JG did put this comment so still not convinced. 

[dentalplan]

He’s got shows in Europe on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday so won’t be here.

The who will be playing summer festivals in the UK ?? after the the first leg of their tour in the US and then back over to the US in September. UK shows hopeful for end of 2019 in the UK ??. New album also...

Wouldn't surprise me to see Catfish as headliner this time, their new single is doing extremely well on Spotify. It's #10 in the Spotify UK chart today.

Aye they won't be at IOW. I reckon Glastonbury, TRNSMT, Reading. Be surprised if Reading haven't given Sziget have them.

I think they are subbing Florence at sziget. I also think they will be at radio 1 big weekend 2019

Won’t be Sunday for sure, but can’t see him doing Glastonbury as well as those other festivals and IOW also. Seen him 8 times could do with a break tbh

Not been for 5y so due a return

[utwothefly]

Saw RHCP at the O2 and they were fantastic. I heard they were crap live but they were anything but. 

I’ll be hoping for The Who, RHCP and The Cure for later this month now then ??
