Of course, this line-up is still not set in stone so be prepared for a few last minute announcements and drop-outs. Take a look at the line-up below:

Pixies for Isle Of Wight Festival

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Isle of Wight festival promoter, John Giddings, said: “It was hard to think of someone capable of complementing the musical talent of Neil Young but once I had the idea it was blindly obvious and it will surely be a legendary day on the Isle of Wight.”

Other acts set to play the event include Basement Jaxx, The Ting Tings, The Charlatans and Pendulum. The other headliners are The Prodigy, Stereophonics and Razorlight.

Tickets for this year’s festival are now on sale priced at £140 for an adult weekend pass with camping with other ticket options available. The festival has been a huge event over the last few years selling out consistently over the past three years. This year looks like it should be the same with around 50,000 music lovers attending the event.

Isle Of Wight takes place from 12-14 June at Seaclose Park, Newport.

Neil Young to headline Glastonbury

Monday, March 9th, 2009

The third and final headliner for Glastonbury has now been announced. Neil Young will be joining Blur and Bruce Springsteen to headline the legendary festival.

Festival sponsors, The Guardian newspaper, were given the news earlier today by Glastonbury organisers. Micheal Eavis is delighted by Neil’s contribution to the festival and has described the inclusion of the 63 year old a “dream come true“. Micheal Eavis also said: “We give it a go and every year people come to the festival and ask the same question: When is Neil Young playing? So this is big news for us. I’ve seen him play many times over the years but I think he’s better than ever at the moment, it’s one hell of a show.”

This announcement ends months of speculation that Neil Young will be headlining the festival.

Neil Young has had an incredible career and he’s worked on over 60 albums as both a solo artists and a band member. Neil Young’s first solo number one came in 1972 when he dominated the charts with ‘Harvest’.

Tickets for Glastonbury Festival have already sold out but a small and very limited number of tickets will be released on April 5th. Tickets are priced at £175 (plus booking fee).

It’s also going to be Dan Nelson’s first UK gig and what better way to show him off than on this show! Leave it to Metallica to create what I will wager is going to be the festival of the year. See you at Sonisphere and get ready for a full-on Anthrax attack!”
