Watch Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds At The Isle Of Wight Festival On Sky Arts













Sky Arts returns as the broadcast partner of the Isle of Wight Festival. This year Sky will increase its commitment to the festival, broadcasting live for 6 hours a day offering Sky customers a weekend packed full of music across Sky Arts 1, Sky 3D and Sky Go, with a best-of-the fest round-up show on Sky 1.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will play at the festival on June 24th 2012.

This year the festival will be presented by a team of established and familiar music experts and enthusiasts including; Zoe Ball, Jo Whiley, Shaun Keaveny, Tom Ravenscroft, AJ Odudu and Mathew Horne. The team will bring viewers coverage from the main stages as well as interviews backstage and all the gossip from the VIP enclosure.

Sky Arts 1 will be at the heart of the music action, taking in the biggest acts, headlines and longer sets from the Main Stage and Big Top together with the choice to view extra acts and backstage interviews from Sky’s onsite studio via the interactive service. Acts featured at the festival include; Elbow, Example, Tom Petty, Noah & The Whale, Pearl Jam, Biffy Clyro, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Labrinth, Madness, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, The Vaccines and Band of Skulls.

Broadcasting 6 hours a day in 3D on the Sky 3D channel will make this the longest ever non-Sport outside broadcast ever shown on the channel and will bring viewers closer than ever before to the real-life festival experience.

Sky's coverage of the Isle of Wight festival will continue their commitment to innovation and development of their multi-platforms. For the first time, viewers will be able to submit their comments about the live performances and see them featured in-show via an on-screen social media ticker. Two extra feeds will be produced for the red button including a continuously changing 30-minute loop bringing viewers all the best performances from elsewhere on the festival stages.

Sky's partnership with Zeebox will continue with a unique companion second-screen experience where users will be able to instantly download tracks from the performers at the festival as well as enjoy exclusive acoustic performances from some of the weekend's most exciting acts.
