More acts have been announced for the Isle of Wight Festival, which takes place from Friday 9th June until Sunday 11th June 2006 at Seaclose Park Newport, Isle of Wight.

 

Joining the bill on the Sunday are legendary act Procol Harum, whose 'Whiter Shade Of Pale' is surely known by everyone (isn't it?). Also new for the Sunday, and opening the stage that day are Skyline Heroes, who are the winners of the high school Battle of Bands competions. And joining the Saturday line-up are Scotland's dynamic duo, The Proclaimers.

 

They join the acts already announced:- The Prodigy, Placebo, Goldfrapp, The Rakes, and The Upper Room on the Friday, and Foo Fighters, Primal Scream, Editors, Dirty Pretty Things, The Kooks, and 747s all on the Saturday, and Coldplay, Richard Ashcroft, Lou Reed, Maximo Park, and Kubb on the Sunday.

 

All tickets are now sold out.

:(:( wish that i could have gone there!!!! I know that song by Procol Harum,it's a classic after all...

it'd be fabulous! but you'd have to go on Saturday as well, how could you not want to listen to the Proclaimers?

Yeah that is true,but tickets are sold out anyway...

"Procol Harem join Coldplay" That's a strange title. Like Coldplay has aqquired their own harem. :lol:

 

Sorry... I've never heard of them so it was the first thing to pop in my head.

'Im Gonne Be (500 Miles)' is one of my fave songs EVER!!!! woot woot, im so happy!!! :D
