Mid / late afternoon they both come up and get put away though...

Well that makes you not a chair w*nker, just someone who happens to have a chair....

I can talk though - this year my crew were 'picnic blanket w*nkers'

I just don’t think he’d accept it. Or they’d have to pay a headline fee to get him, otherwise any old place would be having at him - much like Van.

Perhaps. But this is a man who last year played Bournemouth International Centre (capacity 4000) so any claims to headliner status need to be scrutinised. But it's a fair point - I wonder why despite all the touring he does, he stays away from the festival scene.

Maybe he could do a Liam style 'headliner in name only' thing and sub.

Does it matter?

Look at the lineup. Think about the whole experience. Think about the cost and the hassle getting there.

Buy a ticket, go and enjoy.

Or don't.

It's a nice, relaxed, chilled out festival.

Does the heritage matter? Does any modern festival really have 'heritage'? The bottom line is they are commercial ventures and you buy a slice or you don't.

IOW is by far the worst festival I've ever been to. Not much of an atmosphere at all. It's mostly elderly people who are quite happy to make a line of deckchairs 4 any good festivals around nowadays - I'm surprised IOW is still going tbh 

Ha, we love our deckchairs and a nice cuppa char as we listen to the funky sounds and lust over wimen.

i hope to see your there in the future.

You're too kind!

Could Fleetwood Mac return? They played 4 years ago now and they just announced a gig at Wembley same weekend as IOW so they are in the country? It's unlikely but just a thought

I would imagine IOW bust the bank booking them in 2015, so would be reluctant to do so again especially with the departure of Lindsey Buckingham.

my money would be on the Eagles headlining. 

[AMBEV]

Fooood.  Are you allowed to take it in?

seen people munching on picnics but always assumed it was a no no like alcohol.  

[galbani]

Yes. Never had a problem...

But not drinks - except a 500ml bottle of water, that they want to see the seal unbroken.

It is possible to sneak drinks in tho. Just need to be.... inventive.

A sacrificial can can work wonders, one easy to find can of beer distracts attention from anything else you have.

Are you suggesting we hoik up our skirts and dance our way in?

Sounds like a plan...!

That’s an interesting take on what I wrote, I like your thinking.

[The All Round Ball :|]

Do people think that Biffy Clyro could be a potential band to be there? I would love to see them and wondered what other people thought on the idea and odds? 

[galbani]

Maroon 5?

World tour ends June 11th in Paris...

If they're on tour, its certainly possible. They were there in 2012 second below Pearl Jam and did the business. I'm sure they'd be welcome back.

Very possible. I was thinking they'd do BST Hyde Park but seeing as they're doing a Live Nation tour in Europe and they've obviously kept the powder dry for something in the UK, IOW probably makes more sense in reality.

[Gucci Piggy]

When do we usually get an IOW announcement? Find it well hard to predict. Could see anyone headlining from Mumford and Sons, Florence and the Machine, Foals, Muse, Bon Jovi, Elton John, Eagles, Maroon 5 off the top of my head. Probs a load more if I thought about it, too.

P!nk maybe ruled out because of her Wembley dates? Maybe even Muse, too.

Co-headlined in 2014, too.

Pretty sure the first one comes November to early December.

Yeah I think Muse, Eagles and Pink will be ruled out by stadium dates. Possibly Elton too, but they might make an exception to get him on the final tour. I read that Phil Collins is due to hit Europe again next summer but I'm not sure bout him playing this if he hasn't on the last couple of summers. Bon Jovi announcement should be next week so I reckon that'll be stadiums too.

Going fer Maroon 5, Flo & Foals and Elton at this point.

Ah yeah I completely forgot about Eagles doing Wembley, too.

[WhoOdyssey]

Maroon 5 would certainly be different, do they do many festivals?

[kevybhoy]

think the eagles is a good shout as they were in press last year quoted as playing iow2018, might have got years mixed up and its an iow classic rock kinda band

[WhoOdyssey]

I think The Struts would be a good shot for playing, obviously not headlining, but they've grown quite a lot since they last performed on the main stage in 2015.
