Just heard this...

[gazza_20]

I think it'd be hard to find a band to play at both of them fests plus HRC. Obvs it's not defo Radiohead but saying UK dates in the coming weeks, last time that was said to do with a band, it was within days. As has been said HRC and IOW fit perfectly within their euro dates.

[roadrunner66]

"BRYAN ADAMS official

UK fans: Check here first thing Sunday morning. We will be revealing a very special surprise performance - but you'll have to guess and you won't want to miss."

It looks like Bryan Adams for IOW or HRC.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

same time as Hard Rock Calling's first headliner.

[GRichards23]

Yes there are 2 announcements this week as luckysalt has already said

Radiohead on Monday and I think The Killers to be announced Friday (Hopefully)

[judyblue110]

It won't be Radiohead - not this year.

Bryan Adams will be doing a "special surprise performance" on either X Factor or Strictly tonight - most likely X Factor.

I would imagine this means he is to be announced first thing tomorrow morning.

from the isle of wight forum

Anyway back to the Boss- its almost definitely gunna be him.

Reasons? Well in the E Street Nation for a few weeks its been heavily rumoured that him and the band will play Sunderland's Stadium of Light, Hyde Park and a venue south of Hyde Park- which means, really, the Rose Bowl, St Mary's Stadium or Isle of White festival. I live in Southampton with ties to both grounds and have heard nothing of any such pending announcement. Then I heard that Italian concert promoters have said that Bruce will be announcing his italian dates on monday, along with a world tour and new album. Then I went on the Hyde Park site and it says that 8am Monday morning they'll announce their first headliner and sure enough I come on here and Absolute Radio says they'll be releasing the first headline at 8am Monday. So I would be staggered if its not the Boss.

Bryan Adams Monday, The Killers Friday and Radiohead, if they do somehwere in between?

If it's these 3 then I have 2 out of 3 right.

[gazza_20]

a maybe

Bryan Adams

FATM

Elbow

Noel Gallagher

The Killers

Mumford & Sons

[sisco]

Arcade Fire

Mumford & Sons

The Killers

Snow Patrol/Keane

Radiohead

Noel Gallagher

[sisco]

Snow patrol have headlined IOW, V and Oxegen and have just sold out nights at the O2 and around the countey so they are only getting bigger. I can't see then subbing anyone.

John Giddings has said the legend headliner slot that they have had in prev years will be back. Are Radiohead into Legend yet?? If so maybe they fit.

Everyone seems to be linking The Killers with IOW so that's a possibility.

You have Elbow subbing which in my opinion won't happen, I think they will start headlining festivals now. They subbbed at Glasto and have been very very popular.

So saying all that my guess is:

The Killers

Mumford and Sons

Elbow

Florence and the Machine

Radiohead

Noel Gallagher

[zahidf]

Bryan Adams would be a step back for isle of wight. Maybe an afternoon set, but not a headliner

[judyblue110]

That Springsteen comment is ace! Filled me with joy, regardless of whether it's reliable or not - just the thought of Bruuuuuce being back on the circuit is enough hope for me! :-D

However, Springsteen's return, if there is one, won't get announced at 8am tomorrow - that kind of info would hit late afternoon when America wakes. So maybe the rumoured 2nd announcement later in the week...? :-)

[gazza_20]

Was actually your guess Gazza!!!!

[sisco]

My 1st original one. I mean, if so then I'd have 2 out of 3 headliners which it still could be.

Someone has a point about Bryan though, maybe not headliner.

The Killers

Bruce

Radiohead is pretty huge. Though still got a few reserves about them due to their UK show comments.

[gazza_20]

You have a guess everyday! How are people going to keep up.

[sisco]

Haha, well every other day. All good fun

[5co77ie]

yup true:

[Gingerbond]

Get ready for another 3 hour plus set!

[eFestivals]

Efests have added Radiohead to SR on IOW/HRC page. They wouldn't without some strong info surely.

that's what happens if I take a day off.

[Al2006]

that's what happens if I take a day off.

[5co77ie]

Is there any substance to them now being down as a rumour? Should we be expecting some sort of radiohead announcement soon? even its just a tour?

[sisco]

I'm guessing a big reason for the addition to SR was at the time, as a lot of others thought, depsite them saying UK shows are indoor gigs, IOW/HRC looked quite a good chance but down to R I imagine as new info suggests it's not happening. The 3rd headliner will be interesting, pretty sure Friday will be Kasabian

[gazza_20]

No your on the wrong forum this is the IOW one! Lol

Friday will be The Killers. (I know what u mean though gazza)

[sisco]

Well no Killers at the IOW this year either!!!

There goes my guess.

John Giddings has also said he is trying for 2 American bands to headline (as he has 1 I'm guessing 1 more).

I'm now clueless!
