Arcade Fire for 2013, I hope. If Glastonbury don't mind (presuming they're pretty likely for there).

Wednesday is such a mystery, it's unbelievable how little we know haha.

I'm going to keep thinking it's a crappy act, that way I wont moan if it isn't that great. Not that I should moan, plenty more to see. Sunday big top is looking mighty fine.

Chemicals have headlined before. I'd bloody love for them to play again though.

Aphex Twin would be good, not sure about finishing the weekend main stage though. Gorillaz would probably fit Sunday pretty well. Blur would be incredible. MGMT probably aren't big enough.

I wrote a big paragraph speculating on certain acts who could do it like Aphex Twin (who could nail it I think, but perhaps unlikely) then deleted it all because I realised I have absolutely no idea who it could be.

Wednesday cannot come soon enough.

Are the Stone ROses any kind of exclusive at V?

Only because a while ago when they announced the heaton park gigs rob said he would absolutly love them to play bestival but wouls be priced out/ too big, maybe they are the big one that he has sPent all the money on as this was last year

No one has really mentioned them in any of the threads and cant

remember them being fully discounted, obviously i could and am most likely wrong like everyone else

Damn it, that's not looking good... I like Placebo, but they don't have that wow factor that Bestival headliners usually provide, unless they're playing one of their older albums in full or something? But even so it's a bit meh.

If it is them, I'd expect the last headliner to be amazing: like Prince, Kate Bush, Talking Heads kind of amazing... because Placebo & New Order can't have cost very much, especially compared to last years headliners.

Having seen Placebo at Reading in 2009 I was hugely underwhelmed by their performance, it was very dull and I can't help thinking that they are absolutely nowhere near big enough to headline a festival of Bestivals size - to be fair though I'm not hugely bothered by who headlines because the last 2 years I have been to Bestival I have always found myself wandering around somewhere else when the headliners are on stage.

If it was Portishead being announced though I would be very excited.....it won't be though.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
