In 2009 Giddings was recruited as the global agent and promoter of Universal Music's Formula 1 live music event, F1 Rocks.
Also in 2009, Billboard named three of Giddings' clients as the top-grossing tours of the previous decade - The Rolling Stones at number 1 with $869m, U2 at number 2 with $844m and Madonna at number 3 with $801m.
The festival also received "Outstanding" rating at three A Greener Festival Awards between 2009 and 2011, after Giddings pledged in 2008 to make the festival more "ecologically sound".

In 2008, Solo Agency & Promotions managed three of the five top-selling concert tours around the world. The Sticky & Sweet Tour by Madonna ranked highest, grossing $281.6 million. The second-highest tour was by Celine Dion, at $236.6 million, and the fifth-highest tour was by The Police, at $120.6 million.
On 5 November 2007, the Isle of Wight Festival was named 'Best Major Festival' at the UK Festival Awards. At the same event Giddings won the award for 'Outstanding Contribution to UK festivals'.
Outstanding Contribution to UK Festivals, John Giddings, 2007
Giddings took over the running of the festival from the council in 2003 and, despite losing an estimated £500,000 that year, the festival has become a multi-day event that currently has an annual attendance of between 50,000-60,000 and contributes between £10-15m to the local economy. In this time Giddings has been responsible for booking headliners such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and David Bowie.
In 2002 the 1971 Isle Of Wight Act (which banned events on the island with more than 5000 attendees) was overturned in time for the Queen's Golden Jubilee and Giddings was recruited to revive the Isle Of Wight Festival - a festival that he first attended as a teenager in 1970.
The first Isle of Wight Festival since 1970 was called Rock Island 2002 and it took place on 3 June 2002 with Giddings and Solo acting as promoter rather than organiser. It was headlined by The Charlatans and featured appearances from the likes of Robert Plant, Starsailor and Ash. It was single day festival attended by around 8-10,000 but the event reportedly lost the Isle Of Wight Council around £380,000.
After forming Solo, Giddings was employed as the agent responsible for David Bowie's concert at Wembley Stadium followed soon afterwards by a stadium tour with Genesis. In 1990 The Rolling Stones took on Giddings as European promoter and the likes of U2, Madonna and Celine Dion were soon added to his roster of clients.
In 1986 Wright and Giddings closed TBA International to form their own agencies. Wright formed Reverb XL while Giddings formed Solo Music Agency and Promoters.
In 1980 he left M.A.M. to form TBA International with fellow M.A.M. agent Ian Wright where he went on to work with Paul Young, Alison Moyet, Big Country, Howard Jones, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran.
After leaving university Giddings, using contacts he had made while working with the bands he booked, got his first job as an agent at the M.A.M. Agency in London and by 1977 he had become the agent for a number of punk acts such as The Adverts and X-Ray Spex before taking on acts such as The Boomtown Rats, The Ramones and Iggy Pop (who he still represents today).
John Giddings (born 1 May 1953 in St Albans, Hertfordshire) is a music agent and promoter who has been responsible for tours by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Genesis, Celine Dion, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. In 2002 he revived the Isle of Wight Festival and continues to run the festival today.
