ITV are covering The Isle Of Wight music festival

It’s the first major music festival in the UK of 2008 to be aired on UK tv, so let’s hope the weather stays sunny for those music lovers who have made the ferry crossing and will be camping outside this weekend.

For the rest of us, let’s get some beers in, turn up the speakers and enjoy the best of the three day event from the comfort of our own living room.

The Isle Of Wight Festival started way back in 1968. It has played to some of the biggest acts in music history including The Who, David Bowie, Bob Dylan ,and of course Jimi Hendrix, who tragically died in London of a drugs overdose shortly after playing his final gig at the festival in 1970.

This year’s Isle Of Wight music festival has an impressive line-up, so let’s hope ITV offers a good coverage. The headline acts are The Kaiser Chiefs, The Sex Pistols and The Police.

It will be one of the last chances fans will get to see The Police as they have already planned to call it a day after this years dates. Sting, Andy Summers & Stewart Copeland got back together in

The Police were formed by drummer Stewart Copeland in early 1977 and the band’s popualrity peaked with their 1983 album, Synchronicity, which reached number one in both the UK and the US and sold over 8,000,000 copies in the US, alone.

Who would you like to see?
I know I would love to be there on Saturday night to see Iggy & The Stooges, Ian Brown & The Sex Pistols. Yes, I would rather have seen The Stooges in 1970 & The Sex Pistols in 1976, but still would be good to see them play now.
