Bestival 2012

[Joe-]

Some mysterious poster put up some Knife tour dates and a bit about Kate Bush possibly playing Bestival too.

I suspect a troll but who knows. The Knife would be insaaaaane.

[hazzamid11]

Im hoping that Beck is going to make an appearence over here. Bestival would be perfect.

[Bisque]

Knife Party & a proper Friendly Fires set please.

Looking pretty likely Flo will be headlining, I'll be elsewhere. She was awful at Glasto last year.

Some other great acts being mentioned, I'd love it if Beck and New Order played. I'd be over the moon if Daft Punk played but sadly that's just a pipe dream.

what gives you the Flo idea?

[Bisque]

Let's hope Rob sees her at Ally Pally & sees sense. Or will it be too late?

[rhubarb]

She wont be headlining bestival i'm sure of it, got no proof and we wont find out till the end of january, as rob said the other week he has just confirmed 2 legendery headliners, she doesnt fall under that category and i cant see him seeing her like that either. So no need to worry in my opinion

yeah, I doubt she'll be at Bestival too - primarily for the reason that she's probably just about the hottest act any festie could get for next summer, and that means she's very likely to play the larger fests on some sort of exclusive/semi-exclusive basis that is likely to prohibit her from playing the likes of Bestival.

I guess he could have got her early, but that's unlikely.

Headlining Reading or second from top main stage V is more likely IMO

If she plays V I'll be mighty surprised if she's less than main stage headliner.

I only say V second from top because they get very big acts to play second from top main stage: I'm thinking Kings Of Leon under Verve a couple of years ago and Rhianna under Eminem this year. If the V headliners are Stone Roses and Coldplay this year, i think FATM would fit in under Coldplay quite well.

yeah, true I guess - so dependent on the size of headliner they actually have, Flo might not be headliner.

I don't see headlining as beyond her tho. Whatever I might think of her there's no doubt that she's a hugely popular act right now (for example, I happened to stumble across some google stats yesterday which show her search popularity is up 2300% (tho I'm not sure over what timescale that rise has been calculated).

[Joe-]

Couldn't imagine her headlining any major festival other than Bestival, really. Subbing Coldplay at V Festival on exclusive is my idea.

Tinie 3rd?

[rexclark]

Really hope F&TM aren't at Bestival the same as most people but I have a feeling she may well headline.

[gazza_20]

Perhaps. As long as tinie and florence aren't at Bestival.

[emmyjepson]

Are we going to get another dance headliner because apart from Daft Punk I can't think who could do it! It's a pretty big stage to fill. Orbital wouldn't cut it. Chems have played too much. Chase & Status?

Moby?
