    I caught lyzza at lente kabinet last weekend and very much looking forward to catching her again (in a less rainy environment). 

    Also the mauskovic dance band will be a great start to the friday on west holts.

    Is the beat hotel lineup on clash finder for real because I can't see anything on the website? 

    Dj Seinfeld > Avalon emerson > Job jobse on the thursday would be delightful.

    Caught fat freddy's drop in brixton last weekend and it was nigh on perfect. They would be a 'kin great west holts headliner if they're in europe next summer (not sure if a new album is on the way but they released a new track recently).

    Also I would think anderson paak could be back in europe next summer to support the new album, who would be in with a shout after he nailed west holts last time around.

    The sound wasn't great, but no worse than the majority of London festivals. 

    You're completely right and i'm not denying they completely fucked it with that error, but as someone who didn't go to Four Tet, I left thinking they had done really well. That said, last year was twice as good because of the old barn.

    I went to both days at field day and thought it was pretty decent and well organised (I didn't go to see Four Tet - that was obviously some dumb programming). The only issue for me was the sound.

    Jack White's label have just signed this guy, album out Feb 9th. Their first full time rapper apparently, I like it, curious to hear what else he has to offer and what effect Third Man Records has on him. 

     

    Nice! Check out this track of his too (very different mind you)

    I thought Bestival worked quite well at the new site. It'd be nice if they could somehow divide the main arena into themed areas a bit better, but the geography of the site makes that difficult.

    Still, there were about 22 stages dotted around, and nicely spaced out to minimise sound bleed (at last - the main stage and the big top (sorry, "The Box") are located in different fields!). I was very glad that they'd brought back HMS Bestival, Reggae Roots and the Comedy tent after a year or more's absence, and it's good that the Ambient Forest lives on despite the move.

    Not the strongest lineup of all time, but Saturday was packed - and although I don't like all of the following acts, other festivals would kill for a main stage running order like this:
    Nadia Rose - Stefflon Don - Rejjie Snow - Laura Mvula - Danny Brown - Rag 'n' Bone Man - Dizzee Rascal - A Tribe Called Quest

    Highlights of the weekend for me were Dizzee Rascal, Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon and - on the comedy stage - Andrew Maxwell. And the food at the Feast Collective, which is always amazing.

    Lowlights were: well, the weather. If Robin Hill had been bathing in glorious sunshine all weekend I'd have been really pissed off, but it looks like the Isle of Wight was just as stormy, so what ya gonna do? Just put up with it and plough on through.

    I didn't spot a single bit of aggression or violence this year. And it was a nice, friendly crowd, just not as wild & crazy as usual, but I think that was because of the weather and the mud.

    I had no sense of what the numbers were like, other than the fact that they never even pretended that it was about to sell out this year. But next year, all the smaller festivals ought to get a boost from Glastonbury's fallow year, so Bestival 2018 ought to do very well.

    While 2017 doesn't join the upper echelons of my favourite ever Bestivals (they're probably 2011, 2012 and controversially 2016), I had an amazing weekend as usual, and really it was only the awful weather that let it down. I already can't wait for my ninth one next year...!

    I agree with almost all of this. The glory days of stevie wonder and having acts pack out the big top in the afternoon are well behind us, but it's a new good start for them. It would be hard to justify paying more than £160/170 but you could get tics for that price at one point, so fair play to em. 

     

    I have no idea if there were enough people there for it to have been profitable enough, but I hope so!

    Aside from lots of the already mentioned, I feel like i'm the only person in the world who loved little dragon's latest album. Also loving '!!!' shake the shudder atm. Joey bada$$ was sublime as well.
