stylishkids Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Excellent line up announced this morning! Was a bit worried about buying tickets before the line up was released but I'm glad I did and it's sorted. Sigur Ros is a fantastic booking, seriously can't wait for them. Will surely be the highlight of the festival for me. Hoping they don't clash with Spiritualized tho. Those 2 are probably the 2 I'm most looking forward to atm. The Horrors, Justice, The XX, Annie Mac, Warpaint, Gallows. Some acts I'm really looking forward to catching as well. Especially happy that Hot Chip look to be playing Thursday as well. Haven't been able to catch them yet so to have them before the 3 main days is perfect. And I must be the only person on this forum, or the Bestival forum, who actually wants Florence to headline! I'd pretty happy if she gets announced next week tbh. Pulp would probably be the best most realistic headliner available for me though.

LondonTom Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I can live with one or two 'obvious' bookings if it means I get to see Pulp again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana Co Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The headliners I would love: Pulp above Two Door Cinema Club, New Order above Sigur Ros and somebody a bit more modern and dancey like The Chemical Brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave The Hedgehog Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 If the idea behind Bestival is never to repeat the same headliners then I can't see it being The Chemical Brothers. It is a pre-dominately dance festival, and it has a record of having dance music headliners so take a wild guess with that one and take your pick of who's around and who's big enough to headline. Probably not Daft Punk. I could see New Order headlining Saturday - seems logical. Sunday/Third headliner I'm struggling with. I mean, Sigur Ros could easily headline - niche, yes, but they'd pull it off no problem. The question is, who could follow them? My guess is Radiohead, and if not Radiohead then somebody bigger than both them and Sigur Ros combined. If it's Florence + The Machine... be a bit of a letdown really. Pulp? They'd be great but would they be truly extraordinary? Beastie Boys? They've headlined before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 New order could count ( just about) as a dance headliner. Otherwise, Deadmaus 5 is the only other dance headliner which comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Which is of course completely different from loads of other festivals that have their own sub forum here.... all of the main forums here were set up before an official forum existed.

Dave The Hedgehog Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 One of my questions was going to be whether or not more smaller acts were going to be announced until we get a headliner. Not to be greedy, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
