I'd be careful of claims around the IoW.

A few years ago they called Neil Young an exclusive - the same year he played Glasto.

This year they've called Bon Jovi exclusive, yet efests has always known he'd also play Hyde park (which was announced yesterday).

So IoW tells porkies!

But .... I knew long before any announcement that Bon Jovi was doing those two shows. There's been no mention of Glasto there as well (thank gawd). So it's pretty unlikjely I'd say.

Well that depends if you (or in fact John Giddings) count this Hyde Park thing as festival, their headliners usually do their own big shows the same Summer. It could well be that he still thinks/claims that they're festival exclusives.

All promotors are very liberal with the truth when it comes to the term exclusive and it's usually different to what the average punter thinks that it means.

Looking at Bon Jovi's schedule it was pretty obvious that they still had a London date to announce, and efestivals belief that they were playing Hyde Park and the history of IOW being unable to prevent or not caring if their headliners do their own big London shows pointed to it being pretty clear what was going to happen.

So as Neil says, this announcement changes nothing regarding their Glasto status, which is pretty unlikely.

efests knew what BJ were doing via some info we had. We weren't working from announced tourdates.
