2013 headliners

[gazza_20]

Well John Giddings has said that Muse won't be playing. Someone on the Isle Of Wight forum asked about Depeche Mode playing IOW and he replied "2013", but I was given to believe that their tour dates pretty much ruled them out of playing.

IOW had Bruce, Tom Petty and PJ just gone. I'm pretty sure the crowd that goes to IOW is suited enough to Bon Jovi. Plus this is a band that never does festivals hardly ever. I can't remember except for the old MOR years and years ago, correct me if I'm wrong when they did a fest headline slot?

Kudos to IOW for mixing it up, but that is one fucked up booking. If I usually went to IOW I'd boycott on the general principle that my money was going to supporting the continuation of music and musicians of the most offensive kind.

[gazza_20]

No idea when Bon Jovi last played a fest but Tom Petty and Pearl Jam are very different to him. He'll go down well enough but I can't see a massive rush of tixs going because of him.

Chemical Brothers, Bon Jovi and Stone Roses.

I've done a little research and and inclinded to call this, there are reasons it may not be but a lot says it may well be:

Depeche Mode, Bon Jovi and The Stone Roses

Can you detail your research?

Efests has Stone Roses and Bon Jovi listed as a SR?

[mrtourette]

What about the fact that they're already playing Europe on the Thursday, Saturday and Monday over IOW weekend and aren't ever playing two days in a row?

[Gucci Piggy]

By the way, the thing John Giddings replied to was a post on the Isle Of Wight forum asking if he's ever tried to book Depeche Mode. He replied "2013", so I reckon he just tried to book them for this year. I'll go with Fleetwood Mac, Bon Jovi and The Stone Roses.

I dunno, two in a row is one thing, playing IOW would mean three in a row and four out of five. Your reputation is on the line here.

[gazza_20]

You should completely ignore that part

So what is you're research about Bon Jovi & Stone Roses then?

Would Depeche Mode headline the main stage?

Wasnt it last year Giddings was asked about Depeche Mode and he said "2013"?. I don't think that was to imply he booked them, just that they'd be a possibility for 2013 as they are touring.

If it's right, many of us called it ages ago. And although IOW aren't really an exclusive band fest, they'd do alrite to make ex exception here. Know one that side of the water has had the direct chance to see them yet.

london to glasgow to iow or london to iow to glasgow, it's not a chose whichever way.

[gazza_20]

Wasn't trying to take credit mate.

[jump]

I'm gonna take the credit, Stone Roses & Bon Jovi will headline IOW!!!

How about the Who? Not played since 2004 & their current US tour finishes in Feb, so I bet they'll be looking at Euro-fests/shows for summer 2013...
