The guardian leaked Bjork early last time with an advertisement, I wonder if they'll do the same.

David Guetta, at this moment in confusion, could be a contender. I have no clue. I hope it isn't him though.

Are people just hoping if they name every act in the world who's not dead that eventually we'll get it? This will be my first Bestival but even I know that some of these suggestions are beyond ridiculous.

I honestly don't have a clue who it'll be, hopefully it'll be someone mindblowing.

Come on people it's obvious!

Clearly with the money Robs saved booking New Order and (hopefully) Bloc Party, the sunday night headliner is the Rolling Stones!

Or the Smiths.

One of those two. Or both. Anything else is wrong.

Erm, for what it's worth, Rob's just confirmed on Twitter that it's not Lady Gaga or anyone else on that kind of scale.

Y'know, just in case you'd started picturing yourself down the front for "Marry the Night" one Sunday evening in September....

Beastie Boys would be so good, and I think everyone would happily see them break the 'no repeat headliner act 2004' rule.

Chemical Brothers too, I'd make a friend give up his arm to see them headline at Bestival..

I got ot be honest and say I had not realised that Beastie Boys already headlined.

Watched Chemical Brothers at Glastonbury and Big Chill last year and they put on a complete spectacle of a show

With Bestival still being a relatively young festival the chance of re-booked headliners is slight, but having a 4 or 5 year break before headling festivals again is not uncommon place elsewhere so could happen again. I'd imagine that Chems would more likely have second shot than Beastie Boys though.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
