    Bruce Springsteen annouced as the Sunday night headliner.

    I wasn't going to go this year but might have to see how this shapes up.
     
  2. Great act to bag for the Sunday but i'm affraid i'm giving the IOW Festival a miss after my last visit :(
     
  3. I saw the Boss play Glasto a few years back. He's also doing hard rock calling...

    £450 bloody hell !!!!!!! how come its so much everywhere else its usually like £45 tops.

    I would love to do IOW but maybe without van then.

    We usually do about 2 fests a year 8)

    IOW is a fab place to go whether you go with your bus or not. Never been to IOW Festival, done glasto a coupla times, V once and Cropredy (pewter tankard central) a coupla times too. Small fests for us now though, we'll never go back to the biggies. We did Wood and Greenman last year, a small and a medium sized fest respectively, both really ace. Not sure if Wood is on in 2012 tho cos the organisers who also do Truck, went bust I believe.. :(
