Could the Sheeranator be in the mix for this? He's doing stadia in Leeds and Ipswich next summer, so geographically, IOW could be good for him. Glasto and R+L not happening for him in '19, so he may want to tick this one off and the fest has form in splashing the cash.

Not a fan myself, so kind of hoping not. Not enough stages at IOW to guarantee a good alternative to headliners I'm not into.

He announced a full European tour today. Playing Florence and Rome on Friday and Sunday so pretty much off the table.

He had a show in the evening to get back for so he opened it.

Can't see him losing sleep over not headlining it then.

He's doing the BBC Radio 2 Live in Concert in November, and given the geographical shift that normally accompanies Big Weekend, I don't think the typical Radio 1 festival-goer would complain if booked.

What about Mumford and Sons and now Take That are all announcing new albums and Tours ???   The Cure have also said they playing a lot of festivals ??

Have you heard which other Euro shows at all, good sir, out of interest?

Cheers!
 

Hoping to be at the Farm next year but failing that, I'll be keeping an eye on both Bob Smith and Macca's Euro schedules outside.

does anyone know any information regarding respect camping? The site just says "coming soon" but does anyone know how I can register for it or anything?

Bastille/Catfish and the bottlemen

Kanye West

Mumford and sons

[thewayiam]

Surely Mumford & Sons are a shout for this?, massive tour just announced.

Yep probably about time they headlined this.

[thewayiam]

I reckon The Prodigy, Mumford & Sons and Muse is a decent bet.

[The All Round Ball :|]

I would like to see Mumford & Sons and I've seen Muse before and would gladly see them again  Kind of hoping that Biffy will be there as super desperate to see them live!

Hey!  I am investigating how UK festivals are engaging with environmental issues as part of my undergraduate dissertation at Cardiff University. I am asking festival-goers to fill in a short (2-3 minute) survey on their views of this, and hope that you will take part!

The link to the survey is: https://getfoureyes.com/s/f893L/

If you wish to contact me for any additional information or queries my email address is: amywhitcherdissertation@gmail.com

Thank you to anyone who takes part

P!NK announcing Summer dates next Tuesday !  Do you think she be at IOW ??  (HOPE SO !) 

[Gucci Piggy]

She says in the video that it includes a London date so I think BST is likely.

When does this lineup usually drop - December?

Pink on tour

• June 18, 2019 – RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland
• June 20, 2019 – Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales
• June 22, 2019 – Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland
• June 25, 2019 – Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England
• June 29, 2018 – Wembley Stadium in London, England
• June 30, 2019 – Wembley Stadium in London, England

Date wise in the frame frame for IOW but that's a shitload of tickets she's got to shift, and with 2 dates in London, I'm thinking unlikely.

I had no idea she was this popular though. 2 nights at Wembley is huge.
