Watch Beady Eye At The Isle Of Wight Festival 2011













On Sky Arts 1/Sky 3D: Fri 10 Jun, 9.30pm (UK ONLY)

In a world first, Sky is giving you the chance to be part of the action, as it broadcasts live coverage of this year’s Isle Of Wight festival in 3D.

And with a host of big name acts performing, it promises to be one of the best yet.

Shown over three nights on Sky Arts, there will be live sets from all the headline acts, including Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian and the re-formed Pulp. Backstage Zoe Ball and Ben Jones will bring all the best behind-the-scenes gossip and interviews with the stars.

The Isle Of Wight festival, now settled in its new home at Seaclose Park, Newport, is one of the UK’s most iconic, having played host to the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan and Bob Dylan. This year will see dozens more great and diverse acts taking to the stage, including The Script, Kaiser Chiefs, Plan B and the Manic Street Preachers.

Friday’s line up on the Main Stage sees Kings of Leon top the bill, along with Kaiser Chiefs, The Courteeners, We Are Scientists, Band Of Horses and Big Country. Over on The Big Top, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Alexandra Burke, Eliza Doolittle and Imelda May will all be playing.

Then on Saturday the Main Stage bill features an epic line up, with Foo Fighters, Pulp, Iggy and the Stooges, Seasick Steve, Mike and the Mechanics and Hurts. Meanwhile at the Big Top there's an equally awesome line-up, with Tom Jones, Chase and Status and The Cult.

On Sunday the Main Stage line up includes The Script, Liam Gallagher’s Beady Eye, Plan B, Jeff Beck and Pixie Lott, with Kasabian rounding the whole festival off with their headline slot that night. On the Big Top, after the likes of Public Image Limited, Cast and Hadouken, the honour of closing the show goes to the Manic Street Preachers.

And, as it will be shown on Sky 3D, you can get the true festival experience and experience the energy and excitement of being down at the front of the packed stages, without having to face the dodgy toilets!
