IW Festival 2010: Giddings’ Headline Wish List
Wednesday, 17th June, 2009 at 9:46 am, Isle of Wight
Isle of Wight Festival, Music, Newport
Our good friends over at the superb Virtual Festivals Website managed to pop the question to John Giddings at the weekend.
No, they didn’t want to join in matrimony, but rather, were very keen to know who John fancied for the lineup in 2010 at The Isle of Wight Festival.
So who was on the list?
Well, we all know how much John would love to have Oasis play. Chitter chatter was abound last year and despite some reliable sources saying otherwise, something must’ve put a spanner in the works, as it was soon dismissed as rumour.
Speaking to Virtual Festivals, John said how much he’d love to have Oasis play in 2010 and apparently their manager was at the festival so who knows, perhaps some negotiations took place before the clean up started.
Some others also on the list included The Killers and Kings Of Leon. The legendary Chuck Berry who played Camp Bestival last year is definitely a name that John Giddings reckons could add the right touch of blues to the Festival.
Anyway, pop yourselves over to Virtual Festivals Website to see who else might be on the list for next year.

Chuck Berry would do it for me

Chuck Berry, yes please! Saw him recently in Pompey with Jerry-Lee Lewis – he’s slower, older but still has it..
I’d like to see Jackson Browne too..
My wish list is, pretty much, the same as Giddings. Fingers crossed for 2010. Neil Young was amazing, my personal highlight this year. I defy anyone to have listened and looked without being stirred.

I’ve had the good fortune to see lots of my music heroes…Bo Diddly, John Lee Hooker,James Brown, Rufus Thomas, John Mayall, Chris Farlowe and Zoot Money…but never Chuck Berry

How about this for a few headliners:
Friday – Green Day
Saturday – U2
Sunday – Rod Stewart & the Faces
Oasis never do 2 festival tours in succession, and as they are at “V” this year, we’ve had it.
Please…..no….P McCarthorse, Genesus or Slide.
Bob Dylan and Led Zep would be nice, but extremely doubtful.

The point is the mix, something for everyone is my wish..
Mungo Jerry. Status Quo. Chas n Dave maybe? Find a space for these acts, they’ll get the crowd smiling.
