Cool cheers, any ideas who the headliners are? I know you have no rumoured headliners up, but just wondering if you had heard anything?

nope, heard nothing at all.

[eFestivals]

It's 100% definitely tomorrow.

[twenty_foot_chickens]

Did it come with the Daft Punk strong rumour?

[Paul ™]

Very mysterious

I'm getting excited - and it's 7 agonising months away

Did it come with the Daft Punk strong rumour?

nope, that came from elsewhere. It was added quick cos I knew an embargo'd press release was coming my way (at which point I wouldn't change what was rumoured), and then when I'd done some investigation I came to the conclusion that it was wrong and it was removed again.

Announcement is at 11am.

(Bestival think it's their best ever ..... but they would think that wouldn't they ).

[Alah]

Line up is starting to go on twitter.

So far:-

Kraftwerk, MGMT, Massive Attack, Seasick Steve, Fleet Foxes

[twenty_foot_chickens]

Kraftwerk, MGMT, Klaxons, Friendly Fires, Bat for Lashes & Little Boots is a good start, but not enough to tempt to buy a ticket yet - I'm going to wait and see which DJs and who the third headliner is first.

The After Burner

The After Burner is a new 360 degree multi stage arena that will come alive after dark and late into the night. The centre of the venue is a 10 meter tower built from jet engine components that produces various effects with fire, smoke and water. The heart of the tower is a DJ booth producing the beat for the effects to synchronize to and surrounding this is a stage for MCs and performers.

The tower is lit with coloured changing and strobing lighting effects, high powered lasers and flames. Stretching out from the tower are 6 solid structures which form 3 seating areas, 3 dance areas and 3 raised stages. And at the tips of each seat are Victorian lamp posts with flickering flame lights. Growing around these are twisted metal trees puffing smoke and in synchronicity with the music they burst flame balls into the sky!

It's going to be SPECTACULAR!

Well slap my thigh and call me Roger! Now that is what I call a line up!

whoop whoop!!

[glastofun]

I've always wanted to go to Bestival, but never managed to get there. I reckon I'm gonna try harder than usual to persuade my usual festival-going chums this year.

Usually, how long does it take for tickets to sell out? When do you think the 3rd headliner will be announced? If it is either daft Punk or the Prodigy, I reckon I'll be able to get at least one of my mates to come.

Kraftwerk and Massive Attack....2 of my all time favourite acts.
