Bestival 2011

[Joe-]

Third headliner got announced in March last year, the forum gave them a massive list of potential headliners. I'm hoping for Sigur Ros. I also hope they try and get Arcade Fire again (asked them but they didn't want to).

Just hoping we find out soon!

when does this festival usually sell out by? im trying to convince my friends that the extra transport money is worth going to as glasto has sold out and reading/leeds look rubbish

[5co77ie]

Last year it sold out in July

[Dave The Hedgehog]

So quiet around here - the official boards are a bit dead too.

Could do with an announcement.

is it the saem weekend every year?

its one I would love to attend but this year falls over my wedding anniversary week away(gutted about the cure), so next year what weeken will it be?

Same weekend. I can't go this year because I'm off to Peru the next weekend, I'm so gutted as well I would have loved to see The Cure.

It is a bit dead.. need that last headliner asap. The last announcements weren't a lot to talk about in comparison to that huge one.

[Paul ™]

Still 4 months to go.. plenty time, though I reckon the Sunday headliner will be announced within the next 2 weeks

[Banana Co]

Who do we think it will be?

[Joe-]

I saw rob tweet to someone saying he hadn't got one yet (About 2-4 days ago). He'd have said I would have thought when he sealed a deal.

No idea who it'll be, Orbital hopefully.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Who do we think it will be?

[Banana Co]

Britpop - Radiohead

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Radiohead are definitely not Britpop.

Btw, for anyone who hasn't already seen this The Cure are playing their first 3 albums at shows this year with a 'new' lineup: http://www.nme.com/news/the-cure/56438

Wonder what they will bring to Bestival?

Am I right in thinking the cure have a massive slot, 3 hours or something? The last time I saw them at oxegen I wasn't too impressed, I wandered off to Hope of the States I think, followed by the Killers. If it's a 3 hour set I'd have time to wander back again!

[beau1]

As much as I love their first 3 albums, I'd be happier with a greatest hits set or 'Disintegration + hits'. If most people going to see them are more or less casual fans, they'd be more inclined to have heard of songs from 'The Head on the Door' than 'Seventeen Seconds'. They'd be great in the presence of an exclusively Cure audience but not necessarily in front of people that only want to hear something like 'Galore'.

[Joe-]

The cures set is gonna be 2 and a half hours, I've read.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

So jealous you get two and a half hours of The Cure still considering it strongly.

Read on the forums that Rob may have the headliner. Replying to someone who said something like "I don't think it's possible for the lineup to get any better" and Rob replied saying "It's about to get better".

Hopefully we'll find out something soon, just thought some of you would like to know

[Dave The Hedgehog]

and Rob replied saying "It's about to get better".

[saints15]

As long as it's someone better than Pendulum I'm happy

[edfirth]

Agreed

[davidames100]

Whoever he gets will be better than nothing, which is what we currently have as a third headliner, so it's an easy statement to justify, whoever it is!
