Joe- Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Apparently Madonna is a rumour on VF. I'll go with Green day, Queens of the stone age or Pearl Jam. Better not be Pearl Jam, it means I'll have to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Guns N' Roses? Arcade Fire are Canadian but that sometimes has been used for American bands. KISS, Guns N' Roses, The Eagles, Green Day and Val Halen seem to be the big one's left not rules out.

sisco Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 So they are, my apologies, should really know that one, just the options below then. I can't think who else but I've had a feeling for Arcade Fire for a while, I know Canadian but some people put it in the same. Gun N'Roses would defo be a band to want such a thing like the jet, I remembr a few times reading Axl arriving on his own private jet plane.

Paul ™ Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'd heard Arcade Fire were not touring again till 2013 but you never know, I might have been spun a red herring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious-Red Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Are'nt Arcade Fire taking time off atm? Im thinkin about got to IOW next year so i hope to god its not GNR since i dont wanna be waiting for hours till he decides to come on stage. What about Bon Jovi? They would have their own jet Or what about Aerosmith? Edited November 22, 2011 by Furious-Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger10 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'd be very happy with Aerosmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let's 'ave it!!! Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Because the person who runs it has said so!! Also said it isn't RHCP or Coldplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 From his twitter sounds like he wants Smashing Pumpkins. Dunno if he has them mind. I'd say theres a strong chance they playing Soni and he's trying to get them at IOW. Would be surprised at Smashing Pumpkins as headliner though.

joe1990 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Dude, I like you. Been thinking ever since Leeds Festival this year that Elbow should be given a headline shot. And the Isle of Wight Festival would be a perfect platform for it. Just didnt put it in just in case people thought i was bonkers. Its very unrealistic but for a bit of complete insanity they should approach Enter Shikari for one of the days, that would be completely brilliant.

sisco Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 When? i heard the clip of him on the radio and was pretty sure he didnt mention the killers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 He has said it on the IOW website forum. Ruled RHCP and Coldplay out a couple of weeks ago and in the last few days has ruled out The killers and Madonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisco Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 He also ruled out Florence and the Machine, Snow Patrol and Radiohead But keeps mentioning Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam. If he has Pearl Jam I doubt it will be an exclusive, they'll be doing Hyde Park in some capacity or Soni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 i can't see either of those bands at IoW. They'd probably bomb in the same way that Neil Young did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5co77ie Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 John Giddings also revealed that he was aiming for the "American Trilogy" to headline the festival next summer, which means two more American acts will be joining the already confirmed Bruce Springsteen who is set to play a mammoth two and a half hour main stage show. John Giddings added, that they were not yet in place, but he hoped to reveal another headliner around "Christmas time". He also ruled out both Pearl Jam, and Aerosmith as being either of the two headliners next summer. The full interview will be published on eFestivals in the next couple of days.
