Mr Boo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Didn’t get Glastonbury tickets, so going to do this. Pulp and Blondie will be the bands I will be most excited to see. Never done this festival before 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Boo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Will Pulp and Human League sets be on at the same time? Would like to catch both if possible 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time Pink headlined a similar festival she killed off V Festival for good. It's all well and good waving the flag for this but it won't sell. IOW is clearly aimed at an older audience with a smattering of things for the children (moreso grown up children) As in 50 year olds going with their mid 20s kids kind of thing as family break away together. You will see more safe bets than ever next year and that's fine, it's their business. Stick with what works. Going back to Victorious as mentioned by a few people, they know what works it's a pretty much 50/50 line up of current and 90s Indie and pop. They aren't going to start booking current grime artists or something as a headliner because they know it's not their audience. Victorious strays away from that and it will be their downfall like it was V's when they went too much down the pop route and then tried to start adding in other genres. Victorious took a gamble once and added a rock stage, it was low key acts but some decent stuff there, I watched a couple of acts, it was absolutely dead, no one was interested, it didn't pull in new crowds and the existing punters didn't care. Reading is a festival that has to try and move with the times as its main user base is 16-18 year olds. Not every fest has to do this. I think once it's padded out IOW will look fine it's just a little too pop heavy at the moment. EDIT and no, this wasn't all based at you gfa 🤣 I just couldn't be arsed to multi quote sorry! Agree with most of this except bold - IOW will move with the times as its main user base's tastes change, as will all festivals - but the change is so slow that its impossible to notice vs reading 1 hour ago, Mr Boo said: Didn’t get Glastonbury tickets, so going to do this.

Mr Boo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 How many more bands to be announced?’ When are we likely get the next announcement? I’m excited 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRW5252 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) How does this festival compare to Victorious? I went to Victorious last year for a day, ended up being disappointed due to the overcrowding and poor organisation with the buses. I'm finding myself more drawn to the smaller festivals (more friendly atmosphere and less corporate), which this obviously isn't, but it is local and I feel I should give it a go to tick it off the bucket list.

WhatADin Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I've been to almost every single Victorious and can, quite categorically say, that last year's was not the best/particularly representative. It was super aggy. I've also been to IoW before (although it's been a while) and I've found it to be a good vibe. A bit more eclectic, slightly older crowd, I wouldn't say it feels Island-y.

Will probably end up missing Human League which is a shame, but really looking forward to seeing Pulp again and will want to hang around for the encore 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall though, I feel like a lot of this is just Victorious sloppy seconds. I'm off to Glastonbury the week after and fully expecting to get Blondie and Pulp there too.
