Isle of Wight: more names confirmed
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly December 12th, 2007

No punning. Too easy. The latest raft of acts have been confirmed for the 2008 Isle of Wight Festival.

New additions include the Kooks, Ian Brown, N.E.R.D., the Hoosiers and Scouting for Girls.

The rest of the bill looks like this:

Kaiser Chiefs
the Sex Pistols
the Police
Lily Allen
the Enemy
Kate Nash
Iggy and the Stooges
James
KT Tunstall
the Zutons

Tickets for the event, which takes place at Seaclose Park in Newport from the 13th ‘til the 15th of June, are on sale now.

50,000 people will be in attendance. 50,000 fans of Tunstall, Hoosiers, SFG in one place? An island, you say? Here’s hoping this plot thickens, with a bomb and a big red button.
