Why west? . The site is closer to East Cowes, by quite a way!  

I would go with whichever boat is easier for you on your side of the water. 

I am of course taking about foot passengers.

Surely no one is bad enough to drive.

Red Jet is 23 mins Southampton to West Cowes straight on number 1 bus to Newport.

No problem.

I think that you think if you repeat it enough times it may come true.

[The All Round Ball :|]

Peeps I wouldn't mind seeing that are possible but also some that are unlikely but still possible:

Royal Blood

Mumford & Shits

George Ezra

Arctics

F and the machine

Elton John

Muse

Catfish and the Bottlegirls

Eagles

Mon the Biff

Sundara Karma (Even though they are at R&L)

Two Door Cinema Club (Maybe)

Just a few names to list that I think could pop up. Some more likely than others but all I wouldn't mind seeing. Mostly want to see Biffy there as I love Biffy but I can only hope.

Will have to look at this option. We are on foot so don't really need  the larger ferry. How far is Newport away? Is it worth jumping in a taxi?

Newport is only a 10 minute drive from W Cowes. Taxi will be expensive. Bus is a lot cheaper and there will be plenty of them about. 

[the wonderwhy]

I would recommend avoiding Southampton if I were you. Weird bunch, that lot. 

[kevybhoy]

forget about taxis as they are few and far between and will prob cost a small fortune, just get the ferry and follow the crowd and youll be fine ?

[kevybhoy]

as for artists im feeling confident about the eagles as rumours as similar to depeche mode last year which proved correct, them apart i think dmas and jamie t will be there

[the wonderwhy]

Also if you're going by train via Portsmouth (the far superior city), buy a through ticket to Ryde- you get the ferry/hovercarft included and it saves you a fair amount.

also been working on trying to get colonel mustard and the dijon 5 on the line-up, look them up, fingers crossed they are there as ill have band passes :0)

[kevybhoy]

last year we went southampton on way over and portsmouth on way back, both v v easy, dont get too concerned about ferry times as with foot passengers it pretty much goes out the window

I agree Portsmouth is the far superior haha!

Do we need to book a ferry time or is there need?

No.

Not sure where are coming from but the best way I find to get to “ The Diamond Island “ using public transport is buying a train ticket from home ( in my case Weymouth) to West Cowes and then use the bus service. The bus stop for Newport is at the Redjet ferry terminal so you step off one onto the other.

Do you live at the Seaside ?

[SeasideMac]

Live in Morecambe so yes by the sea. I'm a Blackpool fan hense the Seaside username. (Don't get me started on the Oystons..!!)

Will be on the train down from Lancaster to Southampton. 

Should arrive around 1pm so I'm guessing the next ferry is around 2pm.

Will just follow the crowds.

Booked in Pink Moon so I'm guessing we don't need to get there too early to get a decent tent pitch.

Think taxi was £18.  There’s always people to jump in with and they take you further in than the buses 

[dentalplan]

Really tempting fate with these tour names.

Not sure how taxis take your further ?

perhaps it’s a euphemism ;)

Don't think that makes ant difference. Plus the only prior indication we had about Bob Dylan playing was someone who said the Glasto headliners we're The Cure, Macca and Taylor Swift, so he obviously knew nothing.

I'm pretty sure John has said he's not a fan of Dylan live nowadays, obviously the voice is showing signs of age. I personally think it's unlikely he'll be playing..

Sorry i think you misunderstood , I mean John Groves he lives three doors down from me.

I don't think you have heard his words but i may be wrong

[Neon]

By the way I don't really think his voice could get an worst.
