Bestival 2012

[LondonTom]

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?

When do you all reckon we'll hear something with regards to Besti acts?

[zeppelin]

Ah cheers, hadn't seen that, not too long then, finish exams and then get an announcement I can deal with that

EDIT: Just seen Michael Kiwanuka has been added as the first rumour, anyone have any idea who it is?

Rob Da Bank's favourite new act.

Chase and status would be good, but not headlining.

I just hope Sigur Ros, the Knife and Orbital are there.

[rexclark]

That would be incredibly dull would it not?

Edit: As in dull for a Bestival booking.

Well I've finally been able to drag someone along with me so will be off to Bestival next year for the first time it seems.

Does anyone have any idea if the early bird tickets go off sale? Or are they on sale from now till it sells out and at the same price? They seem to have been on sale since September which seems a long time for early bird tickets. Am planning on getting them sorted at the end of the month so just want to make sure they will be on sale then so I can get them out of the way.

Also has anyone had any experience of going with the Big green coach for travelling? Am aiming to go down with that but don't really want to arrive that late on Thursday so am just debating whether to go with an alternative method of transport. Went with national express to Glasto and arrived at around 4 which was ok but don't really want to be much later than that setting up.

I'd fucking love for Moby to play next year.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds to headline please.

[When Jokers Attack]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds to headline please.

[LondonTom]

PULP!!

[mrtourette]

You make me very happy.

Or Grinderman. They'd be a lovely addition too.

[zeppelin]

PULP!!

[rexclark]

Was thinking Pulp myself, don't know if they're doing British festivals though. would love to see them again though!

[Joe-]

PULP would be insane, I'd absolutely love them to play. I asked Rob if many Coachella bands will be appearing at Bestival and he said there's some of them playing. Hopefully M83, Justice, Explosions in the sky, Madeon, etc.

Grinderman aren't touring this year (or possibly ever again).

[Justiceforcedave]

Not in a million years would it happen, but after their Glasto performance last year, Queens of the Stone Age have a new album in the works and would be a fricking awesome headliner.

[bexj]

I'd happily settle for Pulp, in fact I'd walk over hot coals and stick pins in my eyes to see them again!

[Joe-]

Wonderful thing about Bestival is that it could be ANYONE. Wouldn't be surprised about QOTSA, Pulp, Daft Punk, whoever.

Ahh, what a wonderful place.

[Shaun Child]

Going again this year, was my first time in 2011, loved it so much had to make sure I go this year!

Persuaded even more of my friends to come too, should be an amazing experience yet again, I don't think they really need to change much!

Just interested in how everyone is travelling there, last year we trained it to Southampton & went over on passenger Ferry, thinking about maybe driving but it seems pretty expensive to take a car over on Ferry, only thing with the ferry is the queuing, must have been for a good 5 hours just to get on the ferry and the same on the way back.
