Bestival 2012

[stylishkids]

Well I've just booked my ticket for this year. Really looking forward to it.

Do we know if the act announced is definitely a headliner? Can't find anything to suggest it will or will not be.

[5co77ie]

we don't - it probably isn't i meant to say do we think the theme will be tied to the act who may be headlining - it probably isn't

[Dave The Hedgehog]

My money is on New Order now they've announced a UK tour. We haven't really heard a peep from Rob for months over what's happening or clues as to who's headlining; the date 'February 8th' was more or less when I'd conceded the line-up and theme to be announced when he told us it the other day, so the fact New Order released tour information today and out of the blue Rob's made the decision to make an announcement one day later than that can't be coincidence. That's just my theory anyway. The theme may be something like New Wave or 80s.

I think New Order will play,but them having a tour onsale this week makes it being them less likely to be announced tomorrow. Festvial date would impact on their sales!

[Joe-]

Hopefully Sigur Ros so he can shut me up asking for him.

[5co77ie]

It might not even be a headliner; just somebody to tease us like Chic did ahead of the Camp Bestival announcement.

[5co77ie]

...actually isn't just Camp Bestival which does the video teasers?

[rexclark]

Can't wait to hear some news tomorrow!

[Shaun Child]

I hope I don't get to many double acts clashing with other festivals I'm going to...

Saying that though they need to cater for everyone who isn't going to other festivals, just don't really want to be watching the same artist again.

CANT WAIT FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Can't help but think it isn't as hyped up as past years.

[Joe-]

Be prepared for a spoiler

Orbital on the Sunday night. <<<--- Highlight over that bit

...and they're not even headlining according to their Facebook. 7pm headliner? Don't think so.

[Paul ™]

Orbital will be headlining the Big Top on Sunday night

[eFestivals]

...and they're not even headlining according to their Facebook. 7pm headliner? Don't think so.

the press release we've had says they're the big top headliner.

So I'm guessing that that "7pm" comes from a facebook default setting (I know that myspace did things in that way).

[Joe-]

I think the default time for shows is 7pm on Facebook.

Will be more 1amish.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Is it just Orbital getting announced today? I wouldn't mind seeing them, but not enough to make me consider booking yet.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Yeah Rob's just clarified that.

There's some great additions on that list too.

[eFestivals]

Is it just Orbital getting announced today?

Yep, just them today.

There's going to be a band a day announced over the following days.

That's a pretty good way to do it actually. Exciting.

Excellent news about Orbital.
