carmenb Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 One thing that everyone has seemed to miss is the fact a timetable has not been issued yet...do you really think that they would put the headliners on to clash??? Maybe the headliners will be earlier than the main stage in the Big Top....if they are to have DJ's in the Big Top then that is what they may have when Pistols and Police are playing....we can only hope.... At the end of the day yes it is fantastic to have choice but do you think Giddings has got it wrong this time...the beauty of IOW is the fact they have one main stage......and will the Big top be large enough to cope with the potential 50,000 that want to have a nose round...

Ming The Mercyless Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 well its improving quite like to see sugarbabes apparently they are good live and feeder should be worth a look as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superscally Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I don't think there'll be a problem with crushing. Festy's like Leeds and V have more than 50,000 and similar size tops. Worse it ever gets is for occasions like the Kooks at Leeds two years ago. Rammed tent, 10 deep outside, but no major H+S probs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmenb Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 thats true when i saw prodigy at reading festival a fair few years ago in one of thease huge big tops. It got so full they actually stopped letting people in as we were all getting crushed. Well i was about two rows from the front and survived it wasn't to scary, so should be fine. just be prepare to get very hot in there.

carmenb Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Not exactly comparable, but a 5000 capacity tent is alot smaller than the R1/NME tent at Reading/Leeds (am sure the Reading one is around 10000 capacity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris W Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm not sure about this... one stage was the USP and I can't help but feel The Stranglers and Feeder on the main stage would have made for a better festie overall than have to choose headliners. No clashes was great while it lasted. OTOH the choice may be welcomed by some. So who's up for Sugababes (no, seriously)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc18568 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Sex Pistols vs Sugarbabes? Sugarbabes every time mate. And im pickin Feeder over the Police, or as their now known, Sting. Love the 2nd stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris W Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 A few mates saw them at V a few years back and said theyre alright live. I do have a soft spot for good pop music. Wish it was Girls Aloud tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
