2013 Lineup

[kaosmark2]

Wouldn't Beck me more likely as 2nd/3rd mainstage than in the tent? It's a long while since he's been over and there seems to be a real demand for him.

I reckon he would be an incredible sub.

[thetime]

He's done both Glasto and Latitude in recent years, and a few London dates a couple of years back, in addition to the two Grinderman tours.

Or do you mean Reading+Leeds?

Either way, he'd be fucking awesome wherever.

[thetime]

The XX is to good a shout to be fair, but not in a way that I don't expect it, quite the opposite.

Frank I think will do it, people will lap it up and it'd need to still be against a stronger main stage header as he's a popular act.

Reading/leeds.

Ive seen him alot last few years with the bad seeds and grindermen. Saw him do a questions and answers gig a couple years back and was amazing.

Still my all time favorite festival day when it was nick cave and the bad seeds/bob dylan and pulp at glasto 98.

[kaosmark2]

I'd prefer him in the tent. Hate to see him playing for a crowd just waiting for the headliner, plus would be better atmosphere inside.

[thetime]

I was at one of those shows! Shaftesbury Theatre?

It was absolutely brilliant, I'd love to see him again.

[Chinaski_]

Yeah, he'd be an awesome Bestival headliner.

I'd love a top three like this:

Pearl Jam

Jack White

Beck

wouldn't fucking happen though, but would be so awesome.

I kinda hope Reading's lineup sucks next year, because if it does, it'll be easier to persuade my mates to gip off abroad and I fancy doing a European festival again.

[mrtourette]

I don't think there's a massive demand for Beck.

[kaosmark2]

How long is it since Beck's played in the UK? 4 years?

I agree he's nowhere near headliner size, but there will still be a significant amount of demand. He could be a great headliner for a mid-size festival.

[kaosmark2]

I always hope bestival lineup sucks as I can never get to it, never does though.

[thetime]

Never? Family birthday or something?

Think he last played here at Wireless 2008.

If he did a tour, he'd probably play Brixton/Hammersmith, so ok for NME headliner size. Plus he's got a new album coming, though it's just sheet music.

[kaosmark2]

Bestival last year was the best festival I've ever done, easily. Haven't done Glasto yet so that may upstage it when I eventually get round to it, but it's a cracking place. Short of a nightmare time this year or a really really crap lineup I'll be making it a regular visit.

I've only been to Rock Werchter abroad, I fancy trying Roskilde or Sziget.

I've done Hurricane (Germany) twice. Tempted to give Eurockeennes a go as well.

[kaosmark2]

I adore werchter but will be giving it a miss unless radiohead play there and no where else im going to. We have already decided were doing sziget as only one of us has been (reminds me he has my tent) and he lives it. Roskilde is on my list to do but something always happens that gets in the way.

[Vieuphoria]

[thetime]

Primavera is one I fancy but the non camping has always put me of, akthough the lineups look amazing.

[Chinaski_]

I'd love to go to Sasquatch. Always have amazing line ups and takes place in a gorge, beautiful surroundings.

Really want to go there within the next 4 years or so, but too expensive.

[kaosmark2]

There's no way I'd be able to afford a festival in the states for a few years at least, just unrealistic.
