Really looking forward to it, Living in Southampton makes it a easy trip over the water, top must see bands for me are The Kooks, Lou Reed, Richard Ashcroft, Primal Scream, The Foo’s and Coldplay will be worth a watch I’m sure.

BAD NEWS……………

NO screening of the England football match! Unbelievable I know! – apparently there are only 3 pubs in the IOW showing the game, and from what I have found out stinky festival goes are not that welcome…

So get you mini TV’s guys!

Apparently the main reason they are not showing it is due to Glastonbury 2004, when England went out on penalties there was chaos, so many people drugged up took a turn for the worse, lots of fights and mini riots kicked off.
 
Not going to the festival but am going to the island to see the bf...you will see us attempting to scale the fences!
Because I'll be FAR too busy to watch the match...hehe.

Didn't look too bad from where I was... sounds like the organisers just can't be bothered to set it up.

it's an odd reason to not show it tbh, there were no problems at glasto after england left the competition. England went out of the competition, a band came on, all was forgotten....

nokia probably refused to cough up for a tv license. anyway, I'm off to the festival site tonight so see you all there :D

Coldplay, prodigy and susanne vega will be the highlights for me.
