Bestival 2011

[Bisque]

Cheers. Sucks that the afterburner will be at the other end of the festival.

& isn't the boutique/tipi campsite on a massive slant? Perhaps an open stage?

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

Just food for thought, but I think - if it was somebody 'current', they would have released such information sooner as a means of selling tickets faster; bit like Pendulum. I have a feeling the last headliner will be somebody that won't be there to shift tickets - an acquired taste, like My Bloody Valentine a few years back maybe. I mean, let's face it, if you don't buy a ticket to Bestival this year based on what you already see with the line-up, you won't be decided by the time they release information on the 3rd headliner.

I was going to suggest Morrissey but with The Cure headlining on Saturday, I definitely can't see him playing. He could, easily, but he just won't. I reckon it'll be another legendary band or artist from years past; somebody of the 'Prince' or David Bowie variety - late 70s, 80s or early 90s. Can't see it being Chemical Brothers or Radiohead. If it's somebody a bit leftfield, a bit of an acquired taste, I'd probably say Jane's Addiction or Soundgarden.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Still clinging on to the Soundgarden hope then?

[Bisque]

I know they aren't all that popular on here but I can't wait to see Pendulum on a main stage for the first time. Any ideas when the next announcement will be? My friends are really tempted but waiting until after the Glastonbury resale as they are helping me out with tickets.

Third headliner was announced by March 11th last year, last announcements were May, July and August. I'm thinking May for last headliner, maybe late April.

Since Beni had crap announcements today, which I'm going to ahead of Glastonbury which had fairly good announcements, I thought I'd better look at the Bestival line up to try and cheer me up

Bands I want to see:

2 Bears, 65daysofstatic, A Skillz, A-Trak, Andy C, Boys Noize, Brandt Brauer Frick, Brian Wilson, Caravan Palace, Carte Blanche, Diplo, DJ Shadow, Emalkay, Emeralds, Fake Blood, Fatboy Slim, Feed Me, Gentleman's Dub Club, Grandmaster Flash, Groove Armada, Magnetic Man, Modeselektor, Mogwai, Pantha du Prince, Public Enemy, SBTRKT, Skrillex, The Cure, The Maccabees, The Selecter, Toots & the Maytals, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Willy Mason, Zane Lowe.

I don't think I'm ever going to be bored. I hope the clashes aren't too bad :-(

I think you're overreacting a little. All major festivals are broadcasted now and BBC/C4 clearly don't want Bestival as they haven't booked it before

[thetime]

I think you're overreacting a little.

I think it'll be cool, I just don't have sky. Will be on YouTube and stuff so it's all good.

Wonder if it's near to selling out yet?

[edfirth]

Has anyone considered Jamiroquai as a headliner? I'd adore that
