Festival line-up update: Isle Of Wight Festival, Other Voices and Wood Festival

Isle Of Wight Festival

It’s a relatively bite-sized FLUU array today, as a mere three festivals add to their respective artist caches. The Isle Of Wight Festival’s situation is slightly different, its six new in-fest artistes, who are all sans label deals, having been chosen via its Unsigned contest. The six winners, not least Tank Trap, Chidi, Oxva and Crystal Seagulls, will play stages across the festival site, with Tank Trap taking the main stage, as is headlined by The Stone Roses, The Killers and Bon Jovi.

Says the festival’s promoter John Giddings: “We want to thank all the musicians who entered and the finalists, the standard was exceptional. It’s fantastic to be able to give unsigned artists the chance to play at the Isle of Wight Festival in front of our amazing crowd. Who knows, maybe one day they’ll be performing further up the bill”.

Ah, that’s nice. And since we’re all being nice, go on and take your pick of today’s FLUU-based treats…
