silver Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Tiny mention in a review of the festival in the Evening Standard: "Among other highlights was a charming gig by Elton John protégé and vocal marvel, Joesef, at the Big Top; a secret set by James Bay who brought grown men to the verge of tears; a short but joyful show from an exceptionally toned Mika; and a killer performance from the Sugababes, who’ve gone from strength to strength since reuniting last year". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot @silver Evening Standard https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/isle-of-wight-festival-review-robbie-williams-pulp-b1088694.html Isle of Wight Festival review: Sugababes and Blondie shone amid a mishmash of music The site is sprawling, as was the range of music on offer What do N-Dubz and the Royal Family have in common? Both were in the Isle of Wight this weekend as Mike and Zara Tindall skipped the King’s birthday to attend the annual festival on the outskirts of Newport. Nostalgia was en vogue as crowds descended in their thousands to see the likes of Blondie and The Human League, while parents and teenagers gathered for late night revelry under Seventies-themed marquees and in tea barns turned to silent discos. In a landscape of increasingly gentrified festivals, the Isle of Wight sought to retain the democratic ethos of its Sixties’ origins. It’s not a place for morning yoga classes or podcast recordings in tents named after roman landmarks. It’s a good old boozy affair with fairground rides and fancy dress: great fun, no fuss, but still – at £225 a ticket it’s not exactly cheap. As is a perennial problem with festivals, the food and drinks were overpriced and often quite average, with a shortage of tap water behind bars and food carts charging £12 for gyros without fries and a whopping £13 for tiddly, six-inch margheritas. The site is sprawling, as was the range of music on offer. From folk to pop to big beat, the main stage hosted one of the most eclectic rosters in the festival’s history. Pulp dazzled on Friday night as Jarvis Cocker donned tailored flares and leather boots for high octane renditions of Babies and Disco 2000, before paying tribute to the band’s late bassist Steve Mackey and bringing the house down with Common People. Among other highlights was a charming gig by Elton John protégé and vocal marvel, Joesef, at the Big Top; a secret set by James Bay who brought grown men to the verge of tears; a short but joyful show from an exceptionally toned Mika; and a killer performance from the Sugababes, who’ve gone from strength to strength since reuniting last year. Though this year’s shortage of female artists (all headliners were men) is undeniable, two standouts came in the shape of the ‘Babes and the indomitable Debbie Harry, who stunned on the main stage ahead of her performance at Glastonbury this weekend. Robbie Williams, meanwhile, emerged as the Isle of Wight’s ultimate crowd pleaser. After pausing his headline set at Netherlands festival Pinkpop the previous night – citing exhustion from long Covid – Williams seemed back on top form, covering Oasis’ Dont Look Back in Anger, and closing out the festival with Angels. Organising such an orgy of talent is difficult, and this weekend proved occasionally disorienting. Putting The Chemical Brothers back to back with George Ezra on the main stage was a tad miscalculated. The crowd, still riding high on a Budapest singalong ten-thousand voices strong, was then plunged into a rave with strobe lighting and intense video graphics accompanying the duo’s live set. It felt jarring and confused. In a festival too big to showcase just one style of music, but which currently has too few stages to reflect its diversity across the grounds, a clash of cultures is bound to happen. But it’s also an easy fix – if sponsor Barclaycard are willing to foot the bill for it. Edited June 19, 2023 by Kumazzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star, who is famed for hits such as Lollipop and We Are Golden, was playing his first festival in eight years. He didn't let the rain dampen his spirits as he performed a number of his classics on Sunday. His performance brought with it costume changes, including a voluminous green cloak and an oversized lion hat. At one point, Mika jumped into the crowd to sing Big Girl. Watch Mika perform from the crowd... He can be seen singing while an audience member jumps on his shoulders. The moment was captured from the audience by Grace Poynter. A bit later he continues to sing as he gets on an audience member's shoulders. He finished with Grace Kelly and went off to the crowd chanting, 'Mika, Mika'. On Twitter, Mika said 'the audience was a ray of sunshine under the pouring rain'. TikTok Edited June 20, 2023 by Kumazzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 The MOW https://www.thewom.it/lifestyle/entertainment/mika-in-esclusiva-le-immagini-del-concerto-sull-isola-di-wight 20-06-2023 Mika: In esclusiva le spettacolari immagini del concerto sull’isola di Wight Si è tenuto il 18 giugno lo spettacolare concerto di Mika all’Isle of Wight Festival. Sotto la pioggia, vestito d’oro, Mika ha incanto la folla, cantando e ballando tra chi era lì per applaudirlo. In esclusiva, vi proponiamo un corposo reportage fotografico. Mika è oramai una popstar internazionale da tempo. Ha saputo costruirsi una carriera e un catalogo di canzoni che tutti conosciamo a memoria creando un mondo musicale unico, in cui si sposano ballad dal sapore romantico a brani decisamente gioiosi e giocosi. Non è un caso che il nome di Mika sia spesso associato ad artisti leggendari come Elton John, Freddie Mercury e Prince (ma, se vogliamo, anche Grace Kelly, per via di quella canzone omonima che difficilmente ci toglieremo dalle orecchie). Artista da oltre 10 milioni di dischi con certificazioni di dischi di platino e d’oro in 32 differenti nazioni, Mika ha alle spalle un Brit Award, il ruolo da giudice a X-Factor Italia e quello di conduttore dell’EuroVision 2022 e la pubblicazione nel 2019 di un quinto disco in studio dal titolo My Name is Michael Holbrook. “Volevo riscoprire le mie origini: Michael Penniman Holbrook Junior è il mio vero nome”, ha spiegato l’artista che, oramai un’icona, è nato a Beirut nel 1983. “Per la prima volta, avevo il titolo dell’album ancora prima di averne le canzoni: doveva essere un manifesto. Ed è stata una sfida per me ed è stato abbastanza liberatorio: mi sono liberato dell’idea di Mika”. L'Isle of Wight Festival Alcune delle canzoni di quell’album ma anche tante altre, tra cui l’amata Big Girl, hanno fatto parte dello scorso 18 giugno di un evento che Mika stesso sui suoi social ha definito leggendario: l’esibizione all’Isle of Wight Festival, una kermesse unica nel suo genere. Sotto la pioggia, vestito d’oro come il sole, Mika ha affrontato la folla che lo attendeva (lanciandosi persino su di essa). “Sotto la pioggia siete anche meglio”, sono state le parole rivolte a chi lo attendeva, applaudiva e acclamava. Seppur bagnato fradicio, Mika non si è risparmiato dando il massimo prima di concludere sulle note proprio di Grace Kelly, quell’inno a essere se stessi che manda in visibilio chiunque di noi lo ascolti. E del concerto sull’isola di Wight di Mika TheWom.it vi offre in esclusiva una straordinaria testimonianza fotografica grazie agli scatti di Chloe Hashemi. Nuove tappe del suo World Tour 2023 di Mika sono attese in Grecia, Marocco, Spagna, Belgio, Svizzera e Montecarlo prima di sei special event in Italia. Per i sei appuntamenti nel nostro paese il cantautore libanese, accompagnato dalla sua band, sta preparando degli show intimi, dall’approccio quasi “artigianale” dove la musica ricoprirà un ruolo centrale, ma non mancheranno degli elementi spettacolari e sorprese legate ai diversi luoghi.

And hey, if our heads are supposed to bloom, a rainshower can't hurt either. Well, flowers wasn't much of a topic in this short show, he only had the big white flower for Ice Cream. And Nina got to hold it again. And Mika teased the crowd with the flower, holding it above them so they could just touch it with their fingertips.

She was from Amsterdam and follows Blondie. Some of Blondie's fans were wearing hats like that, but hers was a bit more glittery & colourful than the others (and closest to the front, I think ). He asked us to sing, and said that only if we sing loud enough she'd get the hat back. 20230618_155936.mp4 31.26 MB · 0 downloads Happy Ending 20230618_160343.mp4 30.21 MB · 0 downloads End of Happy Ending.

Some guy on the left sprayed some liquid towards Mika, and Mika said "I don't know what it is, but it tastes really good!" So here you can see Mika opening his mouth widely, to get more of that mysterious liquid. In fact, after Mika's set, I saw a guy carrying a huge spray thing and asked if that was him who sprayed that towards Mika. He said yes, and I asked what it was... it was soap bubbles. So maybe that was a misunderstanding and he had just sprayed soap bubbles, while someone else sprayed whatever that liquid was. Either that, or Mika likes the taste of soap.
