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.

      YNOT 2026

      By sheffinghell · Posted

      It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
