Reactions to this year's Isle of Wight Festival headliners

All three headliners for this year's Isle of Wight Festival have now officially been announced and there have been mixed opinions about the news. Personally I think it's a good trio of bands but I can't help but feel that some of them would've been better if they'd been booked a few years ago. The music industry is constantly changing and a bands popularity is always going up and down. Only a handful of artists manage to reach the top and remain there so it's vital that organisers get these acts at their festivals in order to draw in lots of punters.

First up we have Friday night headliners Biffy Clyro who headlined Reading and Leeds festivals last summer. They are obviously newcomers when it comes to headlining major festivals so it'll be interesting to see how they perform at such a special place where legends such as Jimi Hendix have performed. The band do have a great reputation for amazing live performances so I'm sure they'll have no trouble putting on a superb show. I must also say well done to the organisers for getting Biffy Clyro booked because they are arguably one of the hottest live bands since Muse. Expect some memorable moments from this particular set as I reckon it's going to be a rather spectacular one.

These are faces that clearly say: "We don't mess around when it comes to headlining festivals".

Next up we have legendary American funk rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers. My initial reaction when I first heard about this announcement was that I was excited, but not as much as I would've been had it of been announced several years ago. Their latest album "I'm With You" was incredibly underwhelming and it was a frustrating one seeing as fans had to wait five years for it to be released. The Chili Peppers were at their peak in the mid noughties following the release of epic double album "Stadium Arcadium", and this would've been an ideal time to book them. If you ignore the recent disappointments though, you've still got a huge back catalogue full of hits such as "By The Way", "Under The Bridge" and "Scar Tissue". These songs can win over any crowd so it's certainly a sensible booking. Furthermore, the organisers have actually tried to book the band for years so I guess you can't really blame them for trying to achieve their goals.

Finally we have Nashville rock band Kings of Leon who are well known in the mainstream for their massive hit songs "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire". Again, this booking would've been better for a past year but it's still not a bad one. Many people will have fun during their hit songs so I'm sure there will good vibes through out this gig. Personally, I'm not too fussed about Kings of Leon but I'm sure many festival goers will be ridiculously excited for this particular headliner so that's good for them then I suppose.

This is a strong line up though and I reckon it'll sell out pretty quickly. Bring on the summer of 2014 because it looks like it's going to be a brilliant one!
