Vanderlyle Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 No to Placebo for me. My understanding is that they have New Order for the Saturday - so will have a dance act possibly on Friday, and someone a bit special and 'legendary' on the Sunday. I don't frankly see which category Placebo or Florence fall into, and I frankly hope to god it is neither of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 They're also a cracking live spectacle nowadays. I was at the Brixton show that was filmed and they were just stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'd be happy if it was Placebo, because I love watching them live, but I'd prefer someone I haven't seen before. I don't actually think it will be Placebo, but anyone who thinks they're irrelevant now but remembers their old stuff fondly should give them a watch. They've got far better live.

smogo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've not been following things very closely, but isn't it the case that he previously said he'd booked the headliner that's going to be announced in May before saying he's not booked them?

zahidf Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looks like it might well be Placebo actually. Either that or they are selling bestival products on their site... http://placeboworld.firebrandstore.com/bestival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I'm having a hard enough time convincing mates who'd rather go to Leeds (local, familiar) that Bestival is a better option without a headliner as unbelievably underwhelming as Placebo... Can't believe he'd book them to headline. They're neither legendary or current and exciting. Just a band that were alright and fairly big a few years ago. Saying that, I heard Nancy Boy on the radio today and it sounded great. Bitter End is a good song too.

Vanderlyle Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well when I Googled Placebo and Bestival it was the top link... that may have been because I had already clicked on it from here though... not sure how those fancy Google algorithms work.

rexclark Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Placebo are alright but I really hope they're not headlining, they're just no wow factor about them, they tour and do fests all the time. They played 3rd down last time they played Leeds and I certainly wouldn't say they're any bigger. I'd say they could headline but they'd be weak IMO.

eFestivals Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 oh sh1t its the Foo Fighters!!! http://foofighters.f...re.com/bestival I'd just found a Placebo one for Camp Bestival too .... so I think it's safe to say that it's more a 'feature' of that online retailer than something that any meaning can be taken from.
