Further down the bill/big top

[russellelly]

Of the earlier slots and the big top who would you like to have playing?

I'd like to nominate Glasgow band Attic Lights - really good Beach Boys inspired sound which would be great to lie back in the sun drinking Strongbow to!

[Charlie83]

[pc18568]

The Human League, Ladytron, Gary Numan, The Hamsters.

I'd like to see Sea sick Steve,a 2tone compilation in the afternoon then George Benson playing his Breezing album,real cool jazz guitar as the sun sets then finish off with Pete Doughty and his band of misfits,then have Rolf Harris creep on right at the end and say "Can you guess what it is yet?"

[Rich_chownsie]

I'd rather not see The Delays - woeful.

Kulashaker or Dodgy (both good at Guildfest).

The Levellers featuring 3 daft monkies was also pretty good.

British Sea Power or as mentioned, the Doves.

[StrettonHills]

Justice

[Big Jock]

Iwould like to see Florence and the Machine,The Cure and agian White Lies,thier debut album is brilliant.

[luckysalt]

Im not going but I can see Seasick Steve being there this year

He's playing a festival in Finland on the Sunday 14th June

Surely he wouldn't come all the way to Europe for just one show

[DanielFullard]

I am hoping The Boxer Rebellion will play one or two festivals this year and seeing as IOW is one of the ones Im going to hoping its this

A number of bands that have been requested for big top have already been snapped up by the Bestival [bands don't often play both festivals on the IOW], although almost 3 months after IOW they annouced their line-up this week.....

"Groundbreaking influential electronic pioneers Kraftwerk formed in Düsseldorf in 1970 are the Saturday night headliners, their appearance is a UK festival exclusive. Headlining the Friday night will be trip hop stars Massive Attack, and the Sunday night headliner is yet to be announced.

New York, Space-rockers MGMT are also confirmed with one of only two festival appearances this summer. Other acts announced today include Fleet Foxes, Seasick Steve, Klaxons, Bat For Lashes, Michael Nyman, The Beat, Squarepusher, The Future Sound Of London, and Little Boots.

The line-up for the 14 stages, continues with Friendly Fires, Florence & The Machine, Bjorn Again, Fujiya and Miyagi, Metronomy, Dub Pistols, James Yuill, Free Peace, VV Brown, Chase & Status, Golden Silvers, Goldie Lookin' Chain, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, The Cuban Brothers, dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip, Ebony Bones, Altern8, Passion Pit, 65DaysofStatic, and Beardyman."

[Kris W]

Bestival can keep Kraftwerk, MGMT and Massive Attack. Ive got to avoid them there, i dont want to have to do it at IoW as well.

I would love to see Kasabian again. Easily the best act of 2007.

[autonomy]

Jarvis Cocker has a new album out and is touring in June - plays Brighton on The Tuesday after the festival - can see him playing early Sunday evening!

[Big Jock]

I think the Script would be good heard them doing live session on Absolute were really good I was most impressed.
