Bestival 2012

[smogo]

He is one to not trust though, he said Bjork wasn't going to play but she did.

[Joe-]

To be fair, he didn't think Björk was going to play when he said that (he had her lined up for this year instead), and then she changed her mind and said yes to 2011.

I think the headliners are going to be very hard to guess as it really could be anyone from a long list.

Flaming Lips - Possibly not quite big enough / maybe bigtop

[Bisque]

Tdcc subbing the main? Seems a tad high. Will they have a new album by then?

[saints15]

They're effectively £200 as you have to pay £20 for the ferry too (plus you might want to buy a programme too to get the set times).

I dont think florence will be there, dont know why just cant see it

Robdabank said a while ago he had booked 2 legendary headliners so it does sound promising. i'm sure ppl can add many to the list be here are my guesses

Radiohead - amazing but cant see it as too big/expensive

Pulp - possible

blur - possible

Beck - not touring at the mo but i think fits the bestival bill

Flaming Lips - Possibly not quite big enough / maybe bigtop

Bloc Party - getting back together would fit perfectly

Chemical Brothers - touring

Bestie boys - touring

Vampire Weekend, Florence, Mumford & Sons all not bigger enough or good enough but i'm sure their names will be mentioned

David Bowie - Dream

[Paul ™]

Is £20 for the ferry foot passenger or with a car? also when do people think it will sell out this year?

[rhubarb]

The Flaming Lips are definitely big enough to headline, considering that they headlined back in 2010. They won't be back so soon though.

[saints15]

Well its £15 return on the Southampton - East Cowes ferry as a foot passenger

[gooner1990]

What are the routes available?

Southampton and Portsmouth ?

[gooner1990]

Also surely this festival needs it's own sub-forum by now!!

[rug568]

I think Pulp are quite likely. Loving the line up so far. Trying to persuade people to come with me at the moment.

[smogo]

I think Pulp are quite likely, but it'd be a bit of an obvious booking considering they headlined or sub-headlined Reading, Leeds, Isle of Wight and Wireless last year.

Agreed

[When Jokers Attack]

Brilliant announcement. Really hope Sigur Ros and Spiritualized don't clash. Two 'must see' acts for me.

[rexclark]

Perhaps it doesn't have a sub forum is because Bestival has it's own official forum?
