Any chance of getting acts like Tek One back again?

It was rammed & they stormed it this year. Also enjoyed A1 Bassline after hours.

I was thinking about this and if theres a lack of rock headliners would Soni risk booking Daft Punk as main stage headliner? Big draw as hardly ever tour and hardcore fanbase, but would it be a step away from the mold, I mean Download has The Prodigy, would Soni try and counter with Daft Punk? I know theres a vast difference between the two but it would be something different, after all Soni managed to get Rammstein after all this time Download was trying.

Would you like Daft Punk as headliner Soni goers?

I would love it personally, but I doubt the regular Soni goer would seeing as Biffy was controversial.

Would like to see Modestep, DJ Fresh Live etc play. They could do a live set during the day & an after hours DJ set later on (like Tek One did). Save a bit of money & keep us entertained.

I'd prefer Daft Punk as a Bestival headliner, but anywhere in the UK would be awesome.

I doubt they would though, Prodigy and Pendulum have long been accepted in the metal/rock crowd, hell they're more accepted in the metal/rock crowd than in electronic/dance crowds. Daft Punk are accepted, but not defined as such in festival history, And I imagine that the non-rock-based festivals would lay claim much quicker.

Tek-one were amazing during the day and I think they were good in the 1am slot, although alcohol seriously impairs the memory of that second performance
I would like to see Flux Pavilion do the same sort of thing next year, Tek-one would be great but they have played the past two years so I doubt they will be there again sadly

I was surprised at how popular Tek One were at Soni as I presumed people went for the Big 4 & Slipknot. I had to queue to get in the tent! There is definitely a demand for live dance acts like these.
