2012 Lineup

[Diva Sam]

The Vaccines + Bombay Bicycle Club are both surely way way too high!!

[Diva Sam]

When did they last play?

I reckon part of some peoples disappointment is the lack of bands in this first announcement. After last year 3/4 NME bands doesn't seem like that many. Plus more for the main stage and FR headliners. The whole lineup will look a bit more meaty when there are a few more bands added.

[alex28]

Just a question. I know not everyones cup of tea but where the fuck are Lostprophets? was certain they'd be there.

[Diva Sam]

ALSO Bloc Party to exclusively headline Bestival.

I agree one of the main problems with the line-up is, other than repeat bookings, it's uninspiring nature etc., the apparent gap, however i'd say it's more between second and third and would argue it was probably evident last year as well.

Realistically i'd slot in JATMC (okay, maybe not that realistic) and Jack White on Friday, Hot Chip and New Order on Sat and Tenacious and one other on Sunday.

Can I just throw out a couple of points...

I called Crystal Castles for Main-stage months ago. I'm taking credit for that.

I told most of you that Two Door would more than likely co-headline/sub... so a win there too.

the lineup is pretty poop really. The Cure are why i'm going. Obviously. Just so depressing i'll have to sit through Paramore again. Dogshite support for such an iconic band.

[st dan]

I can't believe no Foals on the line up.

They're due an album out this year and are perfect for the festival. Can't see where they'll fit in too, as all the high slots on the NME are filled.

[mooseman]

Would much rather have paramore than florence and the aubergine but fucking hey ho we have both.

Maybe he has tried to mix up everyday instead of having separate days for heavy/indie/old. To try and sell more day tickets. More of a variation.

[rockinthecasbah]

It's like FR are mocking me. I really like the Latitude lineup, but it's lacking a truly 'must see band' for me further up the bill that'll make me part with such a large amount of money, someone like The Cure. The fact that they're headlining Reading, but on a day where there's one other band I'd want to see (who I've seen loads before anyway) just makes things worse. Paramore's the worst surprise ever- I knew rumours of Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins et all were far too good to be true, but not Paramore.
