Isle of Wight Festival 2007

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

If I could ever book a Fantasy Festival, it would probably look something similar to last year’s splendid effort by Solo. Headliners included The Prodigy on Friday Night, Foo Fighters on Saturday, and Coldplay rounding up events nicely on Sunday evening. News on the 2007 festival has been rather scarce of late. Around this time of year we usually have an initial announcement of who is going to attend. So, to get the ball rolling, here are my three headliner predictions. This goes on the usual IoW festival theme of a dancey Friday night, a rock fuelled Saturday evening, and a more mainstream event on Sunday to finish.

Fri: Kylie (doubtful), Leftfield - I really struggled for a dance act here, it’s difficult to find something better than the Prodigy, although Kylie is a rather obtuse choice compare to those guys :)
Sat: Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers - these guys have to come to the Isle of Wight at some stage.
Sun: Snow Patrol - please, please, back again for the 2nd time, did an absolutely splendid job first time round so I was told.

Who would you want to see?
