2014

John has ruled out a few on Twitter.

No Foals

No Ed Sheeran

No Franz Ferdinand

No McBusted

No Courteeners.

No Chase and Status.

Also he and the Isle of Wight Festival Twitter have followed Tom Odell recently, so I can see him being announced tomorrow amongst others.

[DomDom1984]

Not many shocks among the ruled out there.

[Matt42]

One Republic look to be in.

[dentalplan]

Why?

[Matt42]

Why?

[dentalplan]

Because James Walsh is supporting them.

I'll have a punt at: Example, Jessie J, Kaiser Chiefs, Bastille. Disclosure, Katy B, HAIM, Bombay Bicycle Club, James, London Grammar, Starsailor, Maximo Park, Editors, Tom Odell, Suzanne Vega, Royal Blood, The Charlatans, Lulu James. I assume they'd all fit into the lineup.

That full stop after Bastille is really annoying me.

[Matt42]

I expect Bastille would sub?

[Gucci Piggy]

No.

[DomDom1984]

Third from the top at the most I reckon.

[Matt42]

It's just IOW usually has a very weak undercard

[rawaudioinput]

The Pretty Reckless might be playing; I remember him tweeting them saying he wanted to meet them somewhere to discuss booking them

[sisco]

Suede, Fall out Boy, Katy B and Tom Odell amongst others

[dentalplan]

Suede is a good booking and Inspiral Carpets I'd go see. Bun the rest.

Suede are sub-headliners, looking at the website set up. Bloody hell, undercard looks weaker than usual!

[dentalplan]

Yep. Surprised FOB aren't but it looks like The Specials are.

The full lineup look a pretty poor selection for my tastes really. Ah well.

[Gucci Piggy]

Anna Calvi is good though.

[sisco]

Yea they have all the day splits on the website. The 1975 are third!!!! The Specials as sub.

I was contemplating going.. i wont be now

[Millar95]

[mrtourette]

To be fair they ususally have a pretty eclectic/schizophrenic line-up for a major commercial festival, and this is no different.

[rawaudioinput]

With FOB playing 3rd Download looks even more weak than it already did

[DomDom1984]

Nah. Different types of festival.

[rawaudioinput]

But seeing as FOB didn't really fit in to DL's undercard anyway, them being announced at IOW gets rid of anyone who was going to be drawn in by them in the first place

[Matt42]

In all honesty, this lineup is even weaker than last year.
