rachbon Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I love Placebo so would be happy if it was them, but I think they'd be a pretty weak headliner. Is it the Friday or Sunday headliner being announced on Wednesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexj Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 No way would Garbage be big enough to headline, it would be proper scraping the bottom of the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasto_mongrel_2008 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Not Arcade Fire it would seem RDB on Twitter: "And no arcade fire are not playin @Bestival but soulwax are..and bringin their 2manydjs alter egos!

Joe- Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Arcade Fire for 2013, I hope. If Glastonbury don't mind (presuming they're pretty likely for there). Wednesday is such a mystery, it's unbelievable how little we know haha. I'm going to keep thinking it's a crappy act, that way I wont moan if it isn't that great. Not that I should moan, plenty more to see. Sunday big top is looking mighty fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilirocker Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Gonna throw some names in, that look like they haven't been considered: MGMT Belle and Sebastian Blur Air Chemical Brothers Aphex Twin Sufjan Stevens Gorillaz Again just guesses, but a couple could be viable candidates or headline material, perhaps.

Joe- Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Chemicals have headlined before. I'd bloody love for them to play again though. Aphex Twin would be good, not sure about finishing the weekend main stage though. Gorillaz would probably fit Sunday pretty well. Blur would be incredible. MGMT probably aren't big enough.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sigur Ros followed by Antony & the Johnsons? That would be pretty amazing... & I don't recall it being ruled out? But I maybe wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I wrote a big paragraph speculating on certain acts who could do it like Aphex Twin (who could nail it I think, but perhaps unlikely) then deleted it all because I realised I have absolutely no idea who it could be. Wednesday cannot come soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhubarb Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Are the Stone ROses any kind of exclusive at V? Only because a while ago when they announced the heaton park gigs rob said he would absolutly love them to play bestival but wouls be priced out/ too big, maybe they are the big one that he has sPent all the money on as this was last year No one has really mentioned them in any of the threads and cant remember them being fully discounted, obviously i could and am most likely wrong like everyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Damn it, that's not looking good... I like Placebo, but they don't have that wow factor that Bestival headliners usually provide, unless they're playing one of their older albums in full or something? But even so it's a bit meh. If it is them, I'd expect the last headliner to be amazing: like Prince, Kate Bush, Talking Heads kind of amazing... because Placebo & New Order can't have cost very much, especially compared to last years headliners.

LondonTom Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 YAY...its still might not be though... They could be doing the big top like Primal Scream did? (I'd say Placebo were smaller than them doing Screamdelica?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Having seen Placebo at Reading in 2009 I was hugely underwhelmed by their performance, it was very dull and I can't help thinking that they are absolutely nowhere near big enough to headline a festival of Bestivals size - to be fair though I'm not hugely bothered by who headlines because the last 2 years I have been to Bestival I have always found myself wandering around somewhere else when the headliners are on stage. If it was Portishead being announced though I would be very excited.....it won't be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
