Supposedly we're getting a pretty extensive first line-up announcement at the end of January, including all three main stage headliners. 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.

the location of Bestival was always a big factor in whether i could or couldn't be arsed going, and tbh after last time it was the final straw in me deciding not to return unless they booked some ridiculously good lineup, so this pleases me. not to say i'm gonna head back straight away - it'll be 2018 at the earliest - but at least the option is back. i hope they manage to secure a good lineup this year so it all wasn't in vain

obviously gonna be a fair few people from the island pissed off, but i'd say this is definitely the right move to attempt to save the festival

Bestival 2016 was a major let down, especially compared to 2015. The whole vibe was off and the logistics and planning of the site didn't work. I'm off to Boom Town in 2017
