Bestival 2012 - Non Headliners

[zeppelin]

So we're getting the Saturday headliner on Tuesday and a band a day until then

and since there's still quite a lot to be announced I wondered who else people would like to turn up?

Personally, although some might be too big for the slots left, I'd love to see any of these announced:

Kool & the Gang

The Gaslight Anthem

The Roots

Dry the River

even Status Quo on a sunny afternoon would be good fun

empire of the sun

super furry animals

Waaaaaaay too many bands I want to list here that I want to see but The Black Angels and The Jesus and Mary Chain are always going to be my first requests. They're the two bands I most want to see in 2012.

Bon Iver

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Do you think we're likely to get Jack White?

[blue6field]

Clap your hands say yeah!

Fantastic a couple of weeks ago in Glasgow!

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Would I be wrong in considering JATMC a potential headliner?

The Jesus and Mary Chain wouldn't be headliners. Bestival is a major festival and those guys - despite being the greatest band to have ever walked on this planet - probably wouldn't get much higher than Spiritualized (no pun intended) on the line-up. Realistically, if they played, I could see them at sort of 8pm or 9pm in the Big Top with an audience of about 200 people. The same will no doubt happen to Spiritualized, unfortunately.

The reason I mention Jack White is purely down to the fact I'm clutching at straws with him releasing his solo album in April. I wouldn't consider him to be out of place either; he's just somebody I could see maybe pulling off a headline spot in the same way Gorillaz did the other year at Glastonbury; with collaborations and such, or at very least a sub-headliner spot.

I think Spiritualized will get a good crowd personally but guess I could be wrong (I often am).

[Kowalski]

Are Spiritualized in the Big Top? I hope so, they'll will work better in there IMHO.

Wouldn't mind VHS or Beta, Datarock, !!!, Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre, James Murphy & Pat Mahoney DJ set, Ladytron, British Sea Power, The Go! Team, The Aliens, Death in Vegas and Mercury Rev.

Realistically...

Knife Party

Modestep
