15 new additions (at least) to be announced.

[ElGanzo]

on Tuesday according to twitter. Hurray!

Good timing. Bestival ticket prices increase on the 22nd, so i can make my choice on the 21st as to which one to go to!

It's the Bella Union list again, but in a different order.

It's the Bella Union list again, but in a different order.

[RedRockRick]

Deertick, Caitlin Rose, Wilderness Of Manitoba. Just a wild guess.

[Fareham Grecian]

Perfume Genius.

[seadragon]

Nope none of those are Bella Union...

I'm going with Darren Hayman, Brakes, Herman Dune, along with Mumford & Sons as the next headliner!

[RedRockRick]

Fortunately, Mumford & Sons are on a waistcoat designing course that weekend, so we'll be spared.

[seadragon]

Glad to hear that! They had the nerve to show up on stage and 'join in' at what, until that point, had been an amazing Nathaniel Rateliff gig at the Borderline last year. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

[Infinite Jest]

Eels or Decemberists or PJH oh please oh please.

You can never have too much Mountain Goats, either.

Jim White could be a shot, he's just put out a new album. And Lambchop. Twilight Sad. Of Montreal. So possibly all those acts would be touring? Maybe?

And I still like Mumford & Sons, but they're too big which is probably a good thing. Their fans are good though, I'll say that.

Haha I just read that as 'Jim White could be shot' and wondered what the poor guy had done to deserve that!

As for Mumford & Sons, if they're added then there's no way I'll buy a ticket. I'd rather scratch my eyes out with a hot poker than suffer watching one of their smug self important perfromances again. I'm not sure if they'd be even worse than Joanna Newsom last year. At least as bad.

I would love Jim White to be there. It's been years since I've seen him live.

So yeah, stick him on the "welcome addition" list along with Bill Callahan. I'm not going to make this list too long though so as to avoid disappointment.

Don't know much about quite a few of those, so some investigating to do. In fact, the only one I've really listened to is Perfume Genius, so hoping to uncover some new gems.

[Fareham Grecian]

Perfume Genius.

[RedRockRick]

William!!

[Nigey_boy]

Villagers and Francois & Atlas Mountains I'm very happy about, Anna Calvi what I have heard is good, I presume she is taking the Lykki Li slot, But DARK DARK DARK is brilliant, chamber folk, with sunny tunes and weird (Wave Pictureish?) lyrics. By that I mean unusual and personal. Mr PP will be happy that I got earlybirds.

[seadragon]

Ok, getting better. Nice to see some new bands, although William Elliott Whitmore is a welcome return.

[Timberford]

Very pleased to see Pinkunoizu and Trailer Trash Tracys on that list.

I'm also excited about Dark Dark Dark, only recently discovered them.

The new Perfume Genius album is great (I believe he was due to play last year but had to pull out).

I hope Villagers have some new material, really enjoyed their album 'Becoming a Jackal'.

[MattL80]

I thank you.

[geofelgie]

Really happy about this announcement, Anna Calvi, Dark Dark Dark, Trailer Trash Tracys, Perfume Genius, Villagers, Islet and lots of others to investigate.
