Claire Haroche Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Hey guys, I'd love to go to the Isle of Wight Festival. I was thinking of buying Sunday tickets (June 18) before they run out. MIKA will be performing + the rest of the line-up seems pretty cool too. Anyone wanna join? Let me know Cheers! https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/isle-of-wight-festival-2023-sunday-newport-18-06-2023/event/1F005D5CD5D46819?irgwc=1&utm_source=1234554-Songkick&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=1234554&awtrc=&clickId=WQbye5W8lxyNRRRVw9QxU1UTUkAyhoQRnTyCQ00&camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_1234554&ircid=7559&fbclid=IwAR2xEPQMXF4-ZXUkc7cloGWIOc1aVSdkl-9CclZyURaRs2_QSnjJmuK1jJg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added the info again to the now first post, sorry for the mess. Anyway Claire, there's several MFCers going to this, I'm sure everyone can meet up there. I bought a ticket but not sure yet if I'm going, will probably be going to Cheltenham instead... but it's still a few months until June, still time to decide.

MUSICMIKA Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Hello! I will be at IOW in June. i booked my hotel in Ryde village (IOW). Are you thinking for a meet before the festival? Edited March 3, 2023 by MUSICMIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccaStardust Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hey so I've realised that the festival is on a weekend that I will most likely have off (I don't work when it's an adult weekend ) so was looking at going again I found a reasonable hotel 30mins away and could book travel and get a ticket would be about ,£250-£300 However since I'd have to travel back Sunday after I was wondering if anyone knows the timings of the festival, how late do you think would it finish Is the festival more of day thing or go on till late evenings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as Mika isn't the main act, he will probably be on in the afternoon or early evening. Unless there's several stages and Mika is the main act on another stage? I haven't checked yet if they have a detailed plan on their website. That's all assumptions, you'll probably have to call them and ask to make sure... but if Robbie's show is starting at 9 or so, and Mika is on the same stage, he'd be on before that for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go with the safe option and book the Monday off rather than risk getting stuck in the island and trying to rush back It does say Mika is on the main stage on the website , I haven't looked at other artists and don't see anything about times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless they change something due to his popularity because of The Piano, I think he'll probably be on in the afternoon. There's Robbie and Blondie and a few other names before his. That's one reason why I'm still hesitant about going, because I suppose it won't be a full gig. Maybe a short set like at Coachella, maybe more? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeccaStardust Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 So I spoke to my Dad and he found airb&b closer so I have now gone ahead and brought the ticket and where in staying So guess I'm coming now Just need to book the time off and sort travel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I got an ad for ABBA Voyage today and was thinking, if Mika isn't doing anything on Saturday the 17th, I might just go there, in the afternoon or in the evening. I'm still undecided, but going to see the ABBA show might make it worth the UK trip, even if Mika ends up playing just 3 songs at IoW. Would any of you be interested in joining me, if I decide to go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I learned today that mid-June there'll be NATO military flight exercises over Germany, for which they'll have to close the airspace for regular flights, probably for several hours a day, over 2-3 weeks. Not on weekends, apparently, but I need to get back home too, so right now flying to the UK in mid-June doesn't sound like a great idea. Disneyland Pride is on the 17th, they've started announcing the artists yesterday, but unfortunately no Mika so far... would be great if he did that again, and I'd love that as an alternative to IoW.

mellody Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 So, I decided to go to this and Bristol, just booked my flights. Didn't think I could do both, but well, mostly it's just a question of figuring out how, not if. Are you all staying on the Isle of Wight overnight? I think I'll be staying in Southampton and taking the ferry from there and back on the 18th - at least that's what I figured out is doable. Now I just have to hope that there's no problems with my flight back on Thursday because of the NATO flight exercises. I'll be arriving at Heathrow late on Saturday, at least that should work without problems. Anyway, as they're offering the flights, I suppose they have some sort of plan. I think it's less flights per day than usual. Also I'm planning to go to London on the 19th to see ABBA Voyage - would any of you be interested to join? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staying on the Isle of wight from Friday as I'm going to the explore the area on Saturday. (I've been before but not in a while ) Staying in Southampton is probably good as the passenger ferry is only 30mins and not too far to Newport after (I think an hour but can't remember for certain now ) Hopefully I'll see everyone there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see about the ferry, seems there's a fast and a slow one. Btw, I read on their website in the FAQ that they have fancy dress guidelines because apparently people are wearing creative outfits for this festival. Is it usual there? And if yes, just on the "fancy dress Saturday", or on all days? Are any of you planning to dress up? I'd love it to bring back a bit of the early Mika days when his fans were dressed in all those wonderful costumes, and you already recognized a Mika fan from far away. Well, back then Mika kept saying how much he loves it, but then at some point he seemed to get fed up with it, I guess that's why it stopped. I think he gets bored easily if something is done too often, but meanwhile it could be interesting again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see that a ticket for the ABBA show costs 95 pounds (on Saturday 17 June even 126 pounds)?

Sean Logan will be playing on the same day too! But on a different stage. From 2:25-2:55pm. I think I'll decide when I'm there whether I'll leave my spot to watch his performance...

Ella Henderson is just before Mika who is the other artist I really wanted to see Unfortunately she's the same time as Sean too would Nice to be able to plan a bit more now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to watch Blondie too, but there's still 2 other acts between Mika and her... well maybe they're good too. It's nice to discover new artists at festivals - and somehow more relaxed after Mika's performance, because then I don't care that much anymore about being in the front. Anyway, looking forward to it, sounds like it'll be fun, with so many stages and artists! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ella to Niall are are people I like so so I know I'll enjoy that The earlier artists sound interesting the first girl (Phenix at 11) only has one song on Spotify but it sounded nice so maybe I'll get there for her I wanted to see Robbie but he might be a little late for me but we'll see ive never been to a festival so will be a new experience for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'll only arrive very late on Saturday evening. Btw if anyone's looking to share a hotel room, I'd have a spare bed in Southampton for the 2 nights, near the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
