Beardyman

Any chance of him appearing?

I know he done a set in alternative stage last year which I unfortunately missed.

He could play dance tent/nme?

I think there is a small chance he could be dance tent headliner this year.

He said the shows last year where his 2 favourites and he put a video up of the reading set that went down a treat. Love the guy.

The reason I think it is because the dance tent is never taken seriously be the organisers, we tend to never get big name acts and beardyman would have the biggest crowd of the day in there by far due to his diversity. you couldnt get in the tent at leeds for him.

You have to take it like for like, the Lock Up never gets any big name punk bands in there apart from headliners and the bands they do get are on par with acts on Dance Stage like Bad Religion/Less Than Jake/New Found Glory with Deadmau5/UNKLE/Aphex Twin. The problem is Creamfields & Vfest take away too many possible acts to appear on the stage.

If beardyman played v could he not play r/l? I thought it was just the higher end artists that couldn't play both and last time he was at v it was in the Bacardi dance tent

@JID

If you check the frequently asked question thread and all is explained there. They are so close together they don't play each other, people have a few reasons as to why but no one is 100%. There are a few exceptions but generally only one fest can advertise the act which would make it very unlikely it would be a stage headliner.

Aye, just didn't kno if that would be the case cos the Bacardi tent at v doesn't get advertised on the poster

Oh yeah I know, hence the reason why I think someone like beardyman could easily headline it this year. Rahzel did back in 04

Saw Beadyman at his own show about a month ago was amazing.. really gets the crowd invovled aswell!

Sadly i missed him last year at Leeds, would have loved to have seen him, he could being pretty high on the Dance Tent seeing as he did a pretty impressive last tour (which i also missed fml)

Deadmau5, Magnetic Man, Chase & Status, Sub Focus, Rusko, Vitalic...

their all bigger names than Beardyman, and deadmau5 was the only one that headlined out of them. There's no way he'll headline, jumping up from mid day alternative to headline dance.

As much as I'd love it..
