FEEDER, Sugababes, The Stranglers and The Australian Pink Floyd Show will be among the acts to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival's brand new big top this summer.

The 5,000 capacity circus style big top will host some great bands and DJs throughout the three-day festival, which runs from June 13 to 15.

Welsh rockers Feeder, sassy girl group Sugababes, the world's top Pink Floyd tribute acclaimed by the band themselves and punksters The Stranglers will lift the roof off the big top.

They are additions to a line up that already boasts some of the biggest and best bands around, including Kaiser Chiefs, Sex Pistols, The Police, The Kooks, Ian Brown and Lily Allen.

The Festival takes place at Seaclose Park, Newport and is completely sold out.

Just to clarify:- will they be singing and playing musical instruments, or will they be miming to a backing track whilst doing dancercise(TM) on stage?

Looking at the picture, I would suggest that multi-tasking is one step too far.

Once upon a time - the IOW Festival brought us Hendrix, Doors, Dylan and so much more real classic talent.


Dontch feel sorry for the deprived youth of today? Sugababes - lol

The line-up will probably have changed 7 times before the gig and they will only be miming, pouting and posing.

Stranglers + Sex Pistols? Yeah - really subversive these days arent they?


Not forgetting a Floyd tribute act FFS!

Whos' headlining in 2009- Black Lace??
