Isle Of Wight 2015 on Sky Arts
 

Hello All,

Provided they actually make it to the stage on Sunday, there will be a small amount of coverage on Sky Arts - it seems there will be two episodes of 'highlights' from this year's festival, with the first part broadcast on Saturday the 20th of June:

Frankly, it doesn't sound like we'll be getting much - 2-3 songs is my guess - but at least the Mac are listed. Unfortunately, this festival never gets the blanket coverage that the BBC gives to Glastonbury each year.

Lets all hope for a DVD...

Oh, and episode two is on Sunday 21st.

Oooh. This is interesting. I hope they choose a good song. I hope they choose a rarer song to show and not Dreams, GYOW and Don't Stop.

Michele

Can somebody record this please .Thanks in advance.

I'm increasingly thinking they are going to properly film the Isle of Wight performance and put it out on DVD. Fingers crossed.
They could have done Glastonbury but that's got blanket coverage. They know there will be demand for an Isle of Wight performance DVD as its been hyped up and few people would have the opportunity to see it due to the limited TV coverage. There's a good chance Christine's voice is giving her problems but I reckon they are being overly precautious because they know the festival gig has a lot riding on it. If that's the case then its harsh on the Birmingham and Manchester ticket holders.

On a side note, I'm thinking ahead- I paid way over the face value through a ticket exchange website for the O2, 22nd June. I paid via debit card rather than credit card. If a show is cancelled can I get a full refund or only the face value? thanks

I thought that they didn't go to Glastonbury because of insecurities. They have no control about how they look or sound if the BBC covers the show.

Possibly. Somebody said at a m&g Mick said there was an issue with the Glastonbury organisers filming it. Some people felt the issue would be about them not having control over the footage. The issue with them filming it could have simply been that they wanted to be able to film a performance themselves so they can sell it.

Anyway, their insecurities about filming are a little bit redundant these days- now that fans film so much themselves on their phones. Everything's out there on the interweb, warts and all.

No, he said he had an issue with them SELLING CDs of the show.

Well they are definitely performing at IOW tonight. I think this proves it:

Yes, because he wants to sell his own.

I hope the show goes well. I'm a little nervous, considering the cancellations this week. I hope Chris (or whoever it is that was sick) is 100%. It's such a high profile event I would hate for the band to get negative press, although it sounds like they're already getting some for their Manchester cancellation and lack of a makeup date.

Thats great news .They are there. .Those that went,Enjoy.

And just look at some of the reply's...

@IsleOfWightFest Rumour has it Fleetwood Mac have canceled tonight's show and it's being kept under wraps by IoW crew to ensure numbers...?

— Vicky Heath (@allovicky) June 14, 2015

@IsleOfWightFest wonder if locking them in is the only way to guarantee they will play tonight#FleetwoodMac

— Rod Pyne (@Rodpyne) June 14, 2015

@IsleOfWightFest shame they treated everyone in the North West with total disrespect, shame too they are so big they don't give a toss

— Dave Swanton(Swanny) (@SwannyMediaMan) June 14, 2015

@IsleOfWightFest cynical cash grab thats left a lot of fans in the north west jaded. But at least #FleetwoodMac will get their big payday

Not a lot of love for FM after cancelling 2 shows right before IOW...

Lindsey's looked better

For sure not LB...

No- John Giddings- festival organiser:lol:

Coverage of the festival on Absolute Radio;

Well I've somehow managed to record Absolute radio from 8:55 - 10:55 tonight on my TV so I'll be able to listen to their whole set hopefully! I'll let people know the setlist as soon as I hear it. :)

Look who has arrived... pic.twitter.com/CDw9v3mOYQ

Looks like festival organizer has taken matters in to his own hands by locking the band in a large trunk and will personally guaranty the bands arrival by wheeling them on stage himself...

And yes Stevie insisted on her own trunk...Why???

http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3nlrag9t.jpg

Because her trunk contains a magical kingdom quite like "Narnia"

Damn. Sounds like they aren't allowing the radio station to play anything live. They are hand-picking a few tracks the station will be allowed to play in the morning. Might be an interview in a little while though.

I'm guessing Fleetwood Mac have just arrived, judging by the big loud chopper flying low and slow over my house. Twice. #isleofwightfestival

I think we can pretty much guaruntee that we already know the setlist :P

Not long to go until Fleetwood Mac​...who's getting EXCITED? #IOW2015

— Isle of Wight Fest (@IsleOfWightFest) June 14, 2015

I'm seeing that the band has asked that their set not be streamed...

@poynter_kieran Hi Kieran - Fleetwood Mac have asked us to wait until they're done so @OC will play tracks on breakfast tomorrow!

— Absolute Radio (@absoluteradio) June 14, 2015

I'm pretty sure they'll just air the whole thing. Apparently they're being interviewed in a minute on Absolute radio, fingers crossed!

Waiting for fleetwood mac 💃😝 https://t.co/AWES4CBjUF

Tbh I'm glad the band is getting this negative publicity - the should never have booked the dates in the first place and take the fans for granted.

Shame I can't hear the set on Absolute Radio though.

Well this is footage of them getting out of their helicopter:

Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner travel to Isle of Wight festival by HELICOPTER for Fleetwood Mac performance

Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner know how to travel in style, and the pair arrived at the Isle of Wight festival today in a HELICOPTER.

Yes, the very same festival which became a washout on Friday and left the crowd in enough mud to sink a ship.

The former Spice Girl is following in Emma Bunton and Mel C's footsteps after they were snapped together at the festival yesterday, and joined her hubby for a luxury trip there.

Arriving just in time for Fleetwood Mac's closing performance tonight, the pair posed happily outside their helicopter - without an inch of mud in sight.

She captioned the photo: "On our way to Isle of Wight festival."

Geri looked amazing in a short patterned dress and long brown boots, wearing her shades and optimistically preparing for sun.

Meanwhile Christian wore jeans and a navy shirt next to his wife - we hope someone warned them of the conditions inside.

It was a wash out on Friday as fans were left wading through puddles to watch their favourite acts, but the festival underwent quite the transformation yesterday - and long may it last.

More than 50,000 people have travelled across the Solent to enjoy the Isle of Wight Festival which last night had rain-soaked performances by The Black Keys and The Prodigy.

Amongst the chart acts to entertain the crowds during the sunny afternoon were James Bay, who sang his hit Hold Back The River, and Jessie Ware. Kool And The Gang entertained the crowds with hits Jungle Boogie and Ladies Night.

Huge excitement here at Isle of Wight waiting for Fleetwood Mac LIVE to close festival - join me over on @periscopeco for some live clips X

She's streaming live...

I don't understand this. Why are you glad about negative publicity for the band? Is ther negative publicity? Why shouldn't they have booked the dates in the first place? What does taking the fans for granted mean? I'm totally at loss with your post, what am I missing? I'm glad that they play on today, whoever was ill must be better, fans at IoW are exited, fans who have tickets for the next concerts must be relieved. All is good at this moment.

Looks like Stevie has no shoes on...

Wow. Stevie looks incredible. :eek:

They probably sacrificed the Manchester gig for the benefit of the Isle of Wight. That's not very nice for those people who had Manchester tickets.
Of course, it perfectly plausible Christine's voice genuinely wasn't well enough. I don't wish them negative publicity but I do hope they are fully aware of how many people are genuinely upset (not just pi**ed off).

I doubt that they did that. Their work ethic is not like that at all. I understand that people are upset, but everyone can fall ill and need some rest.

absolutely. Its just a big coincidence it happened ahead of this festival performance that's been hugely anticipated and for which they are reputedly being paid mega-sums of money (and which I still think could be filmed and sold).

Fleetwood Mac - Live!!! https://t.co/8rsbFZilMN
