3rd Headliner just confirmed

[fgwoott]

have they instantly deleted the tweet and article? hard to believe. just watching his interview after his glastonbury set and he seemed to have hardly heard of glastonbury before so difficult to see him doing bestival.

[rachbon]

link isn't working, is it definitely stevie wonder?

[halfpint]

He was good at Glasto and would watch him again but had hoped it would be somebody I hadn't seen before

[When Jokers Attack]

Happy with Stevie Wonder. He was brilliant at Glastonbury. Great booking for Bestival.

[fgwoott]

yeah actually think it is definitely him look at the link on the new post

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

link isn't working, is it definitely stevie wonder?

... not as happy as i would have been for say daft punk but infinitely more so than placebo! What was he like at glasto? That is quite a coup.

Even if we end up with florence it's not a bad set of headliners imo. Lack of dance headliner compensated by soulwax, justice, orbital and a great undercard. Roll on september

Didn't see him at Glasto, gutted after heard great reviews... and I thought that would be my only chance to see him.. so am happy

[rhubarb]

So thats where all the money has gone

Will be a top show i'm sure

[hawkzred]

It's a chance for everyone to see a true legend.

Maybe appropriate for Sunday's as I felt the crowd was just going through the motions at Glastonbury. Glad I was there now but at the time was desperate to get over to the Other Stage and watch Orbital.

[eFestivals]

the best laid plans of Bestival get screwed by people who can't read "EMBARGOED" in big red letters

Anyway, they've recognised the reality and said efests can run the story - Stevie Wonder confirmed.

Now, which numpties ^^^^ are pissed off about Stevie? He might not be your personal taste but you're not booking the line-up yourself, are you? There's no doubt that this is a a great booking for Bestival, and a it's a headliner who hasn't done the festival circuit to the point of boredom.

Unless you start your own festival, what's to criticise?

[Joe-]

SO Happy with that! What a legend, I feel so lucky!

[Poleski]

I'd have prefered Placebo

[smogo]

I'm not criticising the booking, but it's an act that I personally won't bother watching... and with 20+ other stages running at the same time, it's not a problem.

[brain yolk!]

Same.

Headlined Glastonbury and I have a lot of respect for what the guy has done in his career. Just not really my sort of thing. Plus I want to end a festival with a real big dance!

[dingbat2]

Is he mates with Orbital then?! When he played Glasto last time, Orbital were headlining the Other Stage! This year he will headline Besitval, and Orbital are headlining the second stage. Spooky!

[mike46]

It's offical. Bestival has the best line up of the summer! Stevie was quality at Glastonbury so I'm very happy with this!
