Apologies but I honestly can't think of any other line up that I would only go and see one act.  Normally enjoy my weekend and don't expect a star studded line up, but this one is seriously P. poor

Tempting, but my friend is coming this year because she loves Texas so fingers crossed for the additions to the line up.

You are indeed a better friend than me  

There should be some good additions I bet and i think you could probably count on kassidy playing (don't read anything into that though, its just a little hunch based on how well they were recieved the last two years  )

Well I should see you there Mcscotty.  We'd already decided to go this year - my daughter and grandaughter are coming plus some friends I think.  Couldn't think of a better festival for a 3 yr old.  The headliners aren't going to set the heather on fire but there's still plenty to be announced and thinking back there's been some dire headliners in the past.  Probably won't be doing such intensive music listening anyway as will be spending quite a lot of time in the kids field etc plus some babysitting duties.  Hope it's good weather.  We'll be in the quiet camping this year too.  

We'll be hoping for Kassidy then won't we!!   I'm going to try and see them at Glastonbury and I'm also hoping to see Fleet Foxes who've just come on the telly on Jules Holland ...

I'm definitely hoping Kassidy will be added, a high up slot on the Garden Stage is deserved I think.  I'm hoping there is a good chance too, with their CD just out and being on tour just now.

Have just noticed DB have the Saturday headline slot too, even more bizarre

Excellent PP, look forward to seeing you!  A few less shandys this year with the babysitting perhaps     Finally Alan's wife is coming this year, not sure if they are bringing their son too or not.

DB website says they are playing on 6th, and it's already confirmed they are headlining    Checking on Texas just in case a horrible mistake, but no....

Have to say I don't normally decide on a festival because of line ups but I had a ticket to Belladrum which I have now given away, jumped ship to Northern Lights Nothing at Belladrum appeals to me this year unfortunately.

Bella FB have just announced that they are adding bands to line up tomorrow morning... I'm excited!

Don't be,

Rooty Ma Toot Big Band, Iain MacLaughlin & The Outsiders, Torridon, The Staves and The Dangleberries! Wooden Box With A Fistful Of Fivers, The Amphetameanies, Emile Sande, Roddy Hart & The Lonesome Fire and 3 Daft Monkeys!Birdy, Young Rebel Set, MC Xander, Ed Sheeran and Anna Calvi! Joining them at Bella 11' are Echo & The Bunnymen and Frightened Rabbit!

The Bunnymen? Seriously as much as i love their music their festival performances over the years have been poor. From what i hear they were awful at loop, not great at bella, ok at connect.

3 daft monkeys, anna calvi and woodenbox & a fistful (who i would advise everyone to see, excellent live even if they are a repeat booking) are good bookings.

oh and i'd like to see ed sheeren,

[iainP]

I saw Jason Ringenberg's name mentioned somewhere, but I've had a fair few "foaming ales".  Did I dream that? Can anyone confirm?

Well that's just made my day   Was there when they played Loop, they were shocking, loads of people walked out - and imagine how bad they'd have been had I been sober  

[Floplexter]

Well, I'm happier at least.  Not that we weren't going to go anyway, but Frightened Rabbit and Anna Calvi suddenly make life a bit more exciting.  

By the time it came, I would have been back into the Deacs anyway....  roll on.

[Floplexter]

B*gger.
Reading the Joe Gibbs interview it seems Deacon Blue and Frightened Rabbit headline at the same time.
That's me sh*gged, then.

*rse.

[Floplexter]

Problem solved.
