Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Underwhelming, but will reserve full judgement until the final headliner is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 " a huge and very special Friday headliner still to announce " Jorja Smith is the Thursday headliner, definitely looks like they've gone for all-female at the top, so surely it must be Britney...?

kingcrawler Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Jorja Smith doesn't even have an album out yet does she? They must be expecting her to get pretty big between now and the festival if she's headlining the Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 One headliner to go, but that doesnt look like it will even come close to a sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 That is incredibly underwhelming - Looks like the kind of lineup you'd expect a small city festival to have. Didn't go last year but did 2011-2016 and always had an incredible time, and will no doubt love this year as well but...blimey. Gone are the days of Stevie Wonder with Sigur Ros on before him.

It Britney is the final headliner then they really have put all of their eggs in one basket and she’d be the biggest selling point by a huge margin.

DDave Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Wow. Underwhelming headliners. London Grammar are boring as fuck live and hardly scream 'party' Undercard as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Britney would definitely be the festival equivalent of jumping the shark And I still can't work out whether it would be great fun or absolute garbage. Maybe both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn_with_1_n Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think the final headliner is St. Vincent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rseamer Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I really like this line up. It very much feels like the Bestival's of old. And it looks very different to many of the line ups of the bigger festivals. I mean...Chaka Khan, East 17's Christmas Party and London Grammar. That's pretty all over the place... how I like it! Good to see Stacey's is back as well...I loved that place last year and sacked off A Tribe Called Quest because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always going to be better than Wireless having 3 female acts across the whole weekend (so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the road headiners have always ended up lower down on bestival line ups. Tame Impala, Animal COllective etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why hold off? there can be all sorts of contractaul weirdness go on. For example, I know that last year a particular promoter booked Brian Wilson, and another promoter was only allowed to book him with the first's agreement and where a date was given that he couldn't be announced before. If Rob was late to the Britney party, there could be those sorts of conditions on him, so that he doesn't perhaps undermine their sales. (just to be clear, I've no idea if they've got Britney, I'm just speculating) Edited February 6, 2018 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseamer Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 On the line up poster why is the Friday headliner (mainly) blanked out rather than just saying TBC? Are they trying to give a clue for someone to work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly doesn’t look like Britney Spears anyway if that is in fact the acts name covered up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
