That's quite a big step down from last year's headliners, at least for someone from outside the UK.

Biffy Clyro is good but the rest are disappointing, really disappointing.

[eFestivals]

Anne-Marie, Bastille, Courteeners, Dean Lewis, DMA’s, Freya Ridings, Gerry Cinnamon, Idles, James, Jax Jones and Jess Glynne.

Other artists announced today include KT Tunstall, Lily Allen, Madness, Miles Kane, Mystery Jets, Richard Ashcroft, Rick Astley, Sam Fender, Sigala, Sigrid, The Coral, Tom Walker, Wild Front and Hacienda Classical.

Some nice undercards + Biffy Clyro. I hope Biffy does more festivals next year 

[Dan846]

LIly allen should be no where near the IOW festival! Will be avoiding her at all costs

[Henrik]

If IDLES are on the Sunday that will be enough for me to get a day ticket.

Overall pretty poor though

[sisco]

So IOW has turned into a mid sized festival now (with the likes of Kendal, RiZE, Victorious etc..)

Still always had big festival headliners.... George Ezra now!!

[Henrik]

Yep, I would say it's on a steady decline now. 

[zahidf]

Hard to see that coming close to selling out. ESP as I assume none of the headliners are exclusive.

Think it’s finding it’s place in the market now.  Will have to lower prices.  The cost for anyone not on the island to gets there will start making it a no go without decent headers or a price reduction 

[The All Round Ball :|]

My god those headliners (not including Biffy as Im very happy with that) are so underwhelming. To think we were talking about Elton John, AM, Muse, RHCP and shit like that. We were wayyyyy offf SADLY ? 

[Jackcotton08]

I must be the only person looking at these comments who thinks that lineup is actually seriously good ? alright George Ezra is not a headliner but overall that is decent. Would have liked a huge act headlining Saturday but ohh well

The prices have dropped, rightly so based on that lineup. ? 

 

£209 last year £175 this year..

Rubbish. Just rubbish.

Anyone want to buy a ticket?

So I paid 150 for early bird, and full price will come in at about 185 with fees... what a swizz!

I can’t disagree, that line up looks like a midsize festival. I’ll be thinking of shifting my early bird and going somewhere else. 

RHCP, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, The Cure, The Who.... We were way off

[galbani]

Quite underwhelmed

The whole weekend, tickets, transport, accom, food / beer, time off work (2 days) will cost over £2k for the two of us.

Just not worth it.

Needs serious consideration....

[Pjonze]

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds??  Jesus, this'll only encourage him.

[Havors]

Have to say overall that is a very good lineup in my opinion. Strange choice to have George Ezra headlining... but still there are a ton of decent acts on there.

Frigging hell where do you live?? US or Australia or something?? 

£2k to go to a festival means you are doing it wrong if you are from the country it is in.

not really. He's currently one of the biggest sellers.
