Isle of Wight Festival 2010: James and Doves Bring Manchester Sound to The Wight

Roll up, roll up as more acts are named for next year’s Isle of Wight Festival.

Isle of Wight Festival 2010: James Makes Sunday HeadlinersHappy go lucky Mancunians, James, won’t be needing to dust down their instruments when the arrive in Newport.

Still as busy as ever, the band made a massive contribution to the Madchester sound and will be bringing it to the Isle of Wight next summer.

Classics such as Sit Down and Come Home are sure please the festival crowd as well as their new tunes (natch)!

They’ll be rocking the Big Top on Sunday night, but we wonder if they’ll be sharing a taxi down from Manchester with another confirmed act.

Fellow Mancunians, Doves will be doing their bit on Friday night on the main stage no less. This three piece, is bound to be a popular choice for the IW Festival demographic.

Oasis for Sunday Headliner?
So it begs the question, with at least two Manchester bands confirmed, does this mean Oasis be headlining the main stage on Sunday night?

Need a reminder, check out the vids below,

James – Laid

Doves – Black and White Town

They’ll be joining the likes of Pink, Orbital, Blondie, The Strokes and Jay-Z.
