UK FESTIVAL ORGANISERS ARE REVEALING THEIR summer line-ups months in advance in a move to entice early-bird purchases.

The summer's first major festival, Isle of Wight, has already revealed a bill including The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Pendulum and The Ting Tings for the opening day on June 12, with other events following suit.

The curtain-closing End of the Road Festival, which takes place September 11-13 in Dorset, has announced that Steve Earle will perform alongside Alela Diane, Efterklang and another 14 other acts.

End of the Road's Simon Taffe says he took the decision to reveal the line-up early because of his credit crunch concerns.

"We're trying to get ticket sales in a bit earlier this year," explains Taffe. "The recession does factor into our thinking, so it's good to give people longer to make their festival plans."
