One of the headliners have been booked apparently. The cure maybe? daft punk?
Rob's said on Bestival forum it's def not Daft Punk as they're not touring last year. Looks like their agent had been approached & that was the answer.
The Cure is another story though - Bestival seem to like making at least one of the headliners an old has been(ish) but still watchable, older act booked to please the old gits
This year - Kraftwerk, last year - My Bloody Valentine - year before Beastie Boys (never since the Happy Monday's performance at Glastonbury have I seen such a stampede to get out of a field, it was hillarious

).
The Cure would fit the bill perfectly & I, for one, would be delighted if they were there
