2011 Lineup

[Electricityscape]

May have been mentioned but The Subways are working on a new album at the moment so...

Just putting it out there but I have no real opinion on it but Damon Albarn was being interview about Gorillaz and the subject of Blur came up and he refused to talk about. Generally when stuff like this happens they would give a stock reply of "you never know" or "that was then this is now" so a very slight chance of something might be going on.

It would be a welcome surprise. Looking at all the headline material that has already been and gone, there either gonna have, an old type or classic headliner (Maiden, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney)/ Completely New Headliners (MCR only spring to mind) / Or some good surprises (Blur, White Stripes, Beastie Boys,- That would be a line up and a half in itself or Daft Punk)/ maybe some others such as (RHCP, the Prodigy)

[MJMilz14]

Iron Maiden

The Strokes

Green Day

When have Paul McCartney & The Rolling Stones headline? White Stripes were tipped to headline before the start of the previous festival.

I'm surprised they agreed to play Bestival as it's a mid size festival and it's like admitting they aren't what they use to be. I always tipped them to play Isle Of Wright/Hard Rock Calling if they decided to play festivals again.

I remember a while ago they were begging to play Glaso and was refused, they also said no to R&L the last time they were mainstream big with The Cure album and End Of The World single.

[Vieuphoria]

Considering Bestival now The Cure would be amazing.

Blur would be a welcome surprise for Reading.

Holy shit I've just noticed they have Primal Scream performing Screamadelica in its entirity, Brian Wilson, DJ Shadow and Grandmaster Flash... as well as The Cure.

What's tge capacity of Bestival these days? I thought it had been upped to 40,000, which would make it a large event?

[jump]

I didn't say anything about them playing before. I said an old type or classic meaning in terms of age and length of time within the music industry.

I still think White Stripes is a bit of a surprise. I had them in my early line up prediction for this year before last years festival.

[rockinthecasbah]

Tempted by Bestival now, that's a very good first announcement.

[sifi]

Think the capacity may be over 50k now?

If you look at previous Headliners they're acts Dizzee Rascal, Amy Winehouse, Flaming Lips all of which wouldn't be headliners at major fests like Glaso, R&L etc.

[jump]

Agreed. But they are all big enough to sub. Looks like Bestival are creeping up to the top table.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Just got my tickets

[Leyser]

I'm... oh!

No. No. I'm going to wait until March. I'm going to see who's headlining Leeds. I'm going to wait...

*cries*

Unfortunately I don't think R+L will have anything quite like The Cure, Primal Scream, or even DJ Shadow

Primal Scream played a couple of years back and were f**king awful.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

It was four years ago and personally I though they were amazing. I'd love them to come back and play next year, especially if they're doing Screamadelica.

Damo posted on twitter a week or so back that Blur would be creating/making some new stuff next year.

Now I have no idea whether i read it wrong but something is happening.
