The latest announcement from Isle of Wight festival is that Paul McCartney will play main stage on Sunday. The news headline was: Ticket to Ryde! Genius, no?
Macca joins an already impressive IOW line-up: Calvin Harris, Doves, Florence & the Machine (1), Pink, The Strokes, Blondie, Biffy Clyro, Crowded House, Friendly Fires, Editors, Spandau Ballet, Courteeners, Vamptire Weekend, Suzanne Vega and someone called Jay-Z.
... I'm most excited about Isle of Wight because a) It is the 1st festival, on 11th June b) I've been before and really enjoyed it c) Crowded House are one of my favourite bands (2) d) Macca. Enough said. e) I'm a self-confessed geeky 80's fan and quite looking forward to Blondie/Spandau
The line-up for the other festivals is equally exciting though:
Oxegen line-up. One word: Muse. Awesome.
A few more words: Kasabian, Fatboy Slim, Goldfrapp, Faithless, 30 Seconds to Mars, Temper Trap, Stereophonics, Black Eyed Peas, Eminen, Newton Faulkner, Paolo Nutini ...
Rock werchter line-up. That word again. Muse. Doubly awesome.
Other acts include: Faithless, Skunk Anansie, Ting Tings, Gossip, Pink, Editors, Green Day, Jack Johnson, Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire, Alice in Chains, Ramsteinn.
Benicassim line-up. Prodigy, Kasabian, Leftfield, Echo & the Bunnymen, Ian Brown, Klaxons, The Specials, Temper Trap, Calvin Harris, Vampire Weekend, Mumford & Sons and more.
Cooooooooooool.
(1) Half looking forward to seeing Florence and the Machine, half scared. The album is great. But she is a complete nutter. As if the lyrics for 'Girl with One Eye' were not disturbing enough, last time I saw her live she dedicated the song "To all you two-eyed f*ckers out there. I'll carve your eyes out with a spoon". Or something equally charming.
(2) I think my all-time top ten would be: Beatles, Crowded House, Muse, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters, Blur, The Delays, Pink Floyd, Snow Patrol, Fleetwood Mac. But my current favourites tend to change ...
