They can usually afford one expensive headliner and Calvin makes people pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Also if Bestival still have that sort of cash to throw at a big name headliner, Calvin Harris would be such a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsell Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm not entirely sure if they are taking the whole year off but another name that wouldn't be the worst booking for the festival is The Libertines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsell Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 By the sounds of peoples comments on the new XX album, if Bestival have managed to get them as a headliner they may have done well for themselves. Pretty positive across the board so far. Could be someone that brings in a crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I can't fathom how the XX would work live. Just tried to watch some Glasto footage to answer that question and it really didn't help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be doing US mid-Summer and then come over here late Summer. I'd been struggling to think of a hip-hop headliner for Bestival so they'd obviously fit that. LCD I can't really see doing any other festival in the UK now that they're ruled out of Latitude so it must be a decent chance. Right now I think I'd probably go with alt-J, LCD Soundsystem and A Tribe Called Quest with Brian Wilson as Thursday headliner, unless the Brian Wilson info was specifically as a non-Thursday headliner? I feel like it probably was otherwise I'd have assumed that from the off. Not a clue on that front. It was me who was given that info though, from somebody who has some sort of knowledge to these things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Jamiroquai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much of a pull he'd be these days but would be a great fit for Bestival Pretty anxious to see who's gonna end up topping this bill. What with the hip-hop headliner being an almost permanent fixture at the festival these days, I can't shake off it being A Tribe Called Quest this year, which would be ace. Something like The xx, A Tribe Called Quest and Jamiroquai would perk my interest for sure, although I feel it won't be that impressive (or at least what I perceive to be impressive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, who do we reckon? I think Justice and The xx are both near certainties. Maybe Kendrick Lamar for the third one? That's probably wishful thinking on my part though. I've already booked Boomtown due to Bestival 2016 being a major let for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Justice-Gorillaz-LCD Soundsystem-Brian Wilson would be f@cking sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Certainly not a headliner but Interpol are around (5th Sep in Paris, 9th Sep in Madrid) & would make a great addition to the undercard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 ^ this cocker has Floor posting spam. Bri Wilson headlining Camp Bestival so guess there was crossed wires about headlining Bestival. Thas a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thas a shame. That's an excellent headliner for Camp Bestival. I'm guessing if he's been booked for Camp Bestival then Bestival's headliners will be bigger/won't have been downsized so much like some thought which is a good sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 With Bri Bri out of the picture (as a main headliner, at least) I'll stick with my The xx, A Tribe Called Quest and Jamiroquai prediction (more confident about the first two than the latter, but he'd certainly fit the final night party headliner they tend to go for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh the only reason I think The xx will end up at Bestival is that RDB never shuts up about their 2012 performance, but you may well be right. Definitely looking like one or the other for both The xx and LCD what with all/most other suitable festivals already having their headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus-Freak Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 So with Camp Bestival having a local farmers festival type of entertainment, does that bode well for Bestival? i mean, it looks like they've spent about £500 on their entire lineup, does that mean they have saved their money for Bestival to try and make some sort of come back. Or is CB/Bestival on its last legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Fairly typical Camp Bestival line up, don't think it would have any impact on Bestival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
