the Friday headliner definitely is.....

[eFestivals]

Florence + The Machine.

100% guaranteed.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Hm. That's nice.

Can you give us more important information and tell us who's headlining the other stages on Friday? We don't know that yet and a lot of us are looking more forward to that.

[paulomas]

can't wait to get rinsed for this but i'm actually happy with this. she's got some great songs and she's been very good live the numerous times i have seen her.

this is well good ( i was there ) -

[paulomas]

she does look like a 50 year old waxwork melting in the heat though, but i guess that's besides the point

[eFestivals]

Hm. That's nice.

I can't, soz. Tho I know there's another announcement coming on Tuesday, so perhaps it'll be in that.

[Dog Burger]

My girlfriend is going to "Lose her shit" about this! One happy camper!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Well I guess that's that. I suspect a few more of my friends will probably want to come now.

[LondonTom]

This kind of sucks I'll end up there though I think!

Why are Pulp/Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand not doing any UK fests this year!! *CRIES* (Field day doesn't count for Franz as its not camping,

[smogo]

Hm. That's nice.

[Kowalski]

Florence & The Machine or 2 many DJs? Just as well there is heaps of other stuff at Bestival to keep everyone happy.

If all else fails it'll be Sailor Jerrys!

[Paul ™]

Happy with this

[Dave The Hedgehog]

If all else fails it'll be Sailor Jerrys!

[Joe-]

I haven't got the love for this one.

I'll be somewhere else.

[DJL]

I probably won't be watching her (as I'm going to Optimus and Radio 1 which are likely to have less alternatives) but in the duration of her headline set at Latitude she converted me from a strong disliker to a moderate fan. If it's not your cup of tea then obviously do other things but if you're thinking about it she does put on a good (if at times off key) show...

[Joe-]

I watched her at IOW for 20 or so minutes, then moved away. She just screamed, it was awful.

I went to see Crystal Fighters, there was like 15 people watching. They were awesome.

[sonny]

Not for me at all but I'm not greedy, 1 out of 3 aint bad to paraphrase Meatloaf.

Pleased for everyone who wants to see the screeching bint

[Kowalski]

Didn't I read on the official forums it wasn't there this year?

I'll be in the Psychedelic Worm, probably.

[FloorFiller]

meh,i don't hate her so i may watch if there is nothing else on. hopefully i'll be ridiculously drunk by the time she comes on so will have no shame in screaming 'RAISE IT UP, RAISE IT UP'

[rachbon]

not surprised.

i used to like a few of her songs, but have really disliked her since seeing her at glasto in 2010. she was awful.

[mike46]

balls.

Can't stand the screacher, although this isn't a shock announcement, have we got all the subs? XX, Sigur Ros and?

Two Door Cinema Club

[gold_soundz]

She'd certainly be able to hold my attention for an hour. It's not that she's terrible, I think the general skepticism is due to her being severely over-publicized and constantly shoved in everyone's faces. If people forget those pre-disposed doubts and just live the moment, Friday night on the main stage will be pretty great.

I'll be in the Worm though

just thought i'd offer some reassurance

[rexclark]

A good booking I supppose giving how popular she is but I'll definately be elsewhere, hopefully elsewhere as far away from her wailing as is possible.

[Vanderlyle]

Meh. Disappointing but can move on. Very happy with the bill as a whole. Glad she's on the Friday so I'm not left depressed and hanging on Sunday with Florence wailing in the background...

[Joe-]

I think the Friday headliners have always been acts that are constantly shoved in faces. Or the headliners for the past few years, anyway.

It's the 'safe' night, saturday being the 'not so safe' night and the Sunday being whatever.
