Splendid - Bon Iver, PJ Harvey, Marina and The Diamonds ! Woop woop !

Just a shame ticketline sent an email out last night saying what the line up was, as it spolit the fun of the video a little....good work by the Camp Bestival crew for doing the announcement in in unusual way though......

I've got tickets for Glastonbury - and am planning on going with my partner and our 3 year old - but now I'm thinking that Camp Bestival is a safer bet - mainly due to not having to get her out of school - and hassle of getting in and around Glastonbury with a little one.

Any (too unbiased) opinions please.

Thanks for the reply. Can't really do both - too much money. My little one has also started school (they start them early in manchester), so we have to book time off for her if going Glastonbury - this is something the school seems dead against due to crap attendance records with ofsted etc.

Anyway.,.......

still thinking about it. We have until May8th to get a full refund. I love Glastonbury - and there's loads there to keep her happy - but Glastonbury is now really a 5 day festival which we are also thinking may be just a bit too much - just taking her up town for a few hours is hard work!

Also, obviously not as many bands at Camp Bestival - but I like what lineup they have - certainly more preferential to me than the headliners at Glastonbury this year.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By homesick · Posted

      Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.

      Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
