For the record, I shall try not to be disrespectful to anyones tastes in the future.....(McScotty stop laughing)

Ah, just coming out of hibernation now - indeed, not like you to have any strong musical opinions

So who's your top tips for this years up and coming - now that I'm a total Kassidy groupie

See Bluetones are splitting up after the Autumn tour. Wouldn't mind a last chance to see them mid evening in the Hothouse for old times sake. Always had a soft spot for them

Very good shout, I'll be going to see them on their farewell tour but they would be great at bella.

[theampersanddevil]

Only the one Scottish date announced and no room in tour to add more. Sad if they go out with a single date

What about Elbow as a headliner, their new album is immense

[theampersanddevil]

I really can't see it, I think it would be awesome for bella if it happened.

[Jill G]

Live ampersanddevil I think Elbow would be a fantastic choice but imagine their stock is so high just now they would cost a fortune and maybe fall outwith what Bella can offer a headliner.

Mind you, Id pay a £20 supplement to see them

....and I'm afraid our days of agreement have passed. I have tried very hard to like Elbow, but sadly they are too dull.

Could Travis be a possibility? Wouldn't mind seeing them!

I certainly wouldn't choose them but they would fit into the type of band likely for Bella. Haven't heard from them in ages and kinda like it that way

Any idea when an announcement will be made? Even if they just a date that an announcement will be made would be nice...surely within the next few days?

[theampersanddevil]

i think it is around nowish.

roughly translated, 'must not slag off travis, must not slag off travis, must not slag off travis....'

[herindoors]

The first announcement was Wednesday 7 April last year... so, any day now? *impatiently drums nails loudly on desk*

Travis? NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. NO! Bloody awful, bland, whining rubbish. Just, NO.

Elbow? Meh. Bit indifferent to them, really. They're definitely not my first choice but they did seem good live at TITP a few years ago (judging by the TV footage) so maybe?

Did someone mention Adele? For a festival? Really???? No ta...

[Red Day]

Was hoping for something today. Any of the more local Bella goers heard anything ?

[herindoors]

Aye, I had hoped for something today. No rumblings from the Bella FB/Twitter since 1st April...

[Paul ™]

Doubt they would announce around the same time as Rockness... I know they aren't in direct competition but geographically they are very close so will probably hold off till next week at earliest.

[herindoors]

Very true Paul. Mind you, the RN annoucement was supposed to be last week

[herindoors]

Bella FB has said the first announcement will be on Sunday
