Bestival 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.

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.

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
