Friday headliner announced tomorrow morning

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers confirmed for Friday night.
It'd be great if that turned into a mini tour. As far as I know, they've not played here since the two nights in the Point for Into the Great Wide Open.

Tom Petty:eek: My god if PJ are the final band I will prob go. PJ would prob play with both headliners.

Furious-Red

I think most people thought PJ would have been announced this morning since they were making an announcement themselves . Yea lots of people on the IOW facebook page saying its a crap announcement and one lad even said "Suppose you can beat the great headliner KOL" :eek::eek:

Yea i really wanna go to this and really hope PJ are the last headliner

Mushy

Yikes...they prob bitched bout Bruce too.

My thoughts exactly. Those three acts are practically interchangeable, in terms of who'd turn up as a guest at the other's show.

Best line up I've seen of a festival yet. Well worth going to. I just don't have the funds

I'm going to try my best to get over for this. The lineup looks amazing so far.

Im the same , hope to round up a few friends for an oul holiday to the IOW

Yea i love how people are moaning "Selling my ticket" etc . Sure the 2nd stage is set to be very urban/pop which is good , plus it might mean that their will be a better crowd at it

Not sure where would be easiest to fly into, probably London? I'd say you could boat Dublin - Holyhead and drive to Southampton if you fancied the drive. Google says it's 327miles at just over 7 hours.

Fly into Sounthampton, then train . . . .

If travelling by ferry I suggest you drive to Rosslare, then sail to Fishguard, drive down to south coast, then ferry across to the Isle . . .

More acts being announced at 8am tomorrow

bradlente

What are the chances of this selling out soon?Really up for going now but probably won't get the chance to geta ticket until tomorrow or the weekend.

Rosslare-Fishgaurd sounds good.Only a stones throw away:D

Hey. Fingers crossed this will be my first year getting to IOW. Line up is just to good to be missed. To any of you fine folks that have been before how much did the full trip cost roughly! Any help is greatly appreciated. Saving starts now!
Thanks!

Furious-Red

Lots of you are asking when we are going to announce more acts..well you won't have to wait long as the next announcement is THIS FRIDAY!

Hey Guys,

I couldn't recommend IOW enough...I went in 2010 with Paul Mc Cartney playing and it was just an unreal experience. EP and Oxygen have nothing on this festival. Its brilliantly organised, really safe and a completely different crowd to what you get here. The weather was amazing the weekend we were there too. The camping ticket is such good value, we went over Thursday and flew back Monday morning. The looks we got on the flight home, the hack of us! But honestly one of the best weekends of my life!

The only downside was the travelling, it is a fair trek to get there, especially when you consider the gear etc you bring over. Its not a bad idea to splash out on one of those pre pitched tents/cabins they do, totally worth it just so you dont have to cart all your camping gear over.

We got a plane to Gawtick, then a two hour train directly to Southhampton station. (The train station is underneath Gatwick airport so you don't need to go into London). From the station we got a shuttle bus to the port, the ferry to IOW then another shuttle bus to the campsite. Then we had to walk a fair bit to pitch our tent, and we were there early afternoon Thursday. So its a bit of a trek, especially going home again when you havent slept for three days!

But TBH, the travelling was all part of it, and the weekend itslef totally made up for it. Everyone was lovely, and either kept to themselves or were up for a chat if you fancied it. No scumbag teenagers trying to steal from you or p**sing on your tent in the middle of the night!

The whole trip including ticket, transport and spending money probably set me back about €300? But the line up was so amazing that year too, it was amazing value!

If you're thinking of going, just do it!!

Wow tbh i would have thought it would have been more . Im really hoping to go to it and with spending thereabouts of €300 it seems very reasonable
