Its pretty late and ive just got back from my 3rd gig in 4 days, so i'm probably being dense which is enhanced by my lack of sleep but who are WTT?

Also as stated way too strong for soni, well for any festival really

Trent said he was meant to dedicate a fair bit of this year writing NIN stuff actually - whether he has or not, I don't know - so recording and writing wise they definitely aren't on hiatus. Nor has he retired from touring, initially he said he might retire NIN from touring for good, but he went back on that even before the farewell tour ended. Although he hasn't explicitly said NIN will definitely tour again, he's very heavily hinted in interviews he'll probably return to touring NIN one day.

Green Day would be awesome at the IOW, would want them to close the festival... Stone Roses can stay away IMO...

Would love MCR, Arcade Fire an Green Day to headline with The Black Keys, Mumfords and Weezer to sub if possible...

My new thought guys, is Muse, The Stone Roses, and Green Day.

Green Day are here on June 1st. It's not till two weeks later IOW comes along.

Muse might be the same issue with T as in they don't like playing in too much light.

The Roses are I think are a stick on, and Green Day I don't think are far off it.

If the 3rd in this case it not Muse, then I say The Prodigy

I was in the VIP area this year at the IOW Festival and spoke to John Giddins after Springsteen had finished. When I suggested Green Day would make a great headline act, his exact words were "if I were you I'd have a bet on that".

Could have been winding me up but I don't think so and now they're playing the Emirates a couple of weeks earlier and will have a trio of new albums to promote, makes perfect sense to me.

My other predictions (only predictions) are the Killers and possibly Aerosmith or Fleetwood Mac on the Sunday night. Arcade Fire a good shout too.

Please not the Prodigy or Stone Roses though!!

I think they are nailed on! I'd be a little surprised to not see them do it. Like the guy above says about AM, I can see it but Fleetwood, Muse and Green Day is my guess, unless they can get Arctics to sub like Oxygen did to Foo's the other year.

I don't think it'll be The Killers or Prodigy, I think Prodigy will play sub spots at festivals to promote new album.

Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Green Day would make a great set of headliners next year.

The Black Keys, Mumford and Sons and Weezer subbing...

Fleetwood Mac would also be awesome.

Hope Prodigy and Stone Roses stay well away.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
