Isle of Wight 2022

[Samba123]

Got to be time for a new thread on next year... 

This year was good - would like bigger headliners if they're available though... 

[retrokev]

KOL have just announced dates b4 fest,so going for them as one.

Agree - good to see Isle of Wight back this year, and we were very lucky with the weather, etc. - but the lineup was not as good as in previous years (maybe understandably, without being able to get many international acts). We also found it very expensive this year, even more so than usual. Over £6 for a beer and £14 for a pizza? That really is taking the mick. And was it just my group, but was it much quieter this year? Did not seem to have as many speaker stacks on the main stage as usual, and you could hear people talking over the music, which isn't good...

I reckon Royal Blood might have someone else with them, 4 headliners has been working well for them I think. Maybe Chems back for a closing set or someone else.

He was scheduled to be a joint headliner alongside Lionel Richie in the original 2020/2021 announcements before things got changed. So that seems like a pretty likely option.

Though they did have George Ezra headline outright in 2019 and if they're prepared to do that then Capaldi outright is possible as well.

From what I've heard from someone in the know, Lionel is also set to return next year as headliner.

Not awful in my opinion, feels the names are a lot stronger than 2021’s edition. Wonder where else this leaves Muse at, BST or Stadiums maybe

[The Fella]

Pretty happy with this, to be honest. Muse always great at festivals, and already a number of other acts that I would be happy to see. Already stronger than this year, and with a lot more still to be added, it should be a good year. Interested to see how Kasabian sound with Serge singing...

Agreed - stronger line-up than this year.

Muse are out and about in Europe - headlining Madcool in Madrid for example. Wouldn't be a surprise to see them at BST or their own dates I thinl.

[maelzoid]

My guess is Muse will do a couple of other fests, maybe one north of the border? And then stadia in 2023.

TBH next summer is already looking pretty rammed for gigs for obvious reasons, it wouldn't surprise me if that puts a few acts off.

Was kinda surprised to see them at this one tbh. I knew they were doing events in Europe in 2022 (Mad Cool is very tempting) so I assumed a UK date was possible, but I had genuinely thought something like BST Hyde Park. Isle of Wight with Rudimental is a bit more left-field. I also like the factoid that when Muse played IoW last time in 2007 that Kasabian were sub-headliners.

Do Isle of Wight do day passes? I thought for some reason it was a "full weekend or nothing at all" deal.

I see. Thanks for confirming. For some reason I thought it had turned out to a weekend-only kinda deal but I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe.

I hope they continue as with this year allowing drinks to be taken into the arena from the co or wherever. It’s no brainer really.
