f**k me that's awesome. Time to ramp up the pressure on my mates to commit so I can get on with buying tickets....

I guess if we start counting indoor gigs as festivals then it might not be correct.

I know ATP call themselves a festival, but its not in my opinion.

I'm considering coming to Bestival... For people who have previously been what else is there to do asides the music? It sounds like good fun and the line up looks good this year. Was going to go to Leeds but the Line up for this is much better. I mean The Cure headlining alone has pretty much sold me the ticket. Who do we think the third headliner will be?

I wouldn't be too fussed if it was Bjork and I had DJ Shadow elsewhere. As much as I like her, I'd much prefer to see somebody like DJ Shadow if it came to it - and I'm not too fussed about Fatboy Slim either.

Overall, I'm not being biased but we've got the best line-up that features the most great bands hands down. If the line-up alone isn't worth the price of the ticket then I don't know what is, but I'm pretty sure in answer to the other guy's question there's a few spots on the Bestival website that gives all of the details of what to expect this year, and if there isn't then there'll probably be something on there about what was going on (aside from music) in 2010.

While you're at it, go over to the Bestival forums. I can't recommend that place enough for a positive vibe.

The best(ival) English festival line up this year.

I'll go now...

Edit- Just counted 61 acts I would like to see with 19 definites. Hopefully I'll catch some of them at Glasto so I won't be running around the arena all day!

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
