the Friday headliner definitely is.....

[Dave The Hedgehog]

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

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Oh well. Looks like I'll be camped in the Big Top then

[Kyelo]

She's not my thing but is big, modern and at least a bit different than your run of the mill pop act. I will be nowhere near her but still, a decent booking.

[Homer]

I think if you read between the lines, what he's definitely trying to say is that it's Radiohead (etc).

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

When I saw this I was hoping it was posted yesterday, sometime before midday

[coma girl]

I like a couple of her tunes, but seeing her at Glasto 2010 put me right off her so very much doubt I'll be anywhere near her performance. She's very popular though so I don't doubt that she'll have a decent crowd watching her.

[rug568]

I swear Florence is following me around this summer.

[LondonTom]

Just watched her Royal Albert Hall Gig on youtube...was going give her a chance at bestival.........but Jesus Christ that was awful and so so so dull!.

"We will be announcing our Friday night headliner on Monday 21st May,"

Guess Florence will be announced then.

[dacbo]

wonder if she'll do that tune/remix with The XX, seeing as they are playing just before.

She better not ruin the XX's set. You'll hear a very loud tut if she does*.

Yes she did come on & do that remix with the XX in the John Peel tent. Luckily we'd just left to go watch Muse. I can't see her doing it at Bestival though seen as she is headlining. It would kind of take the shine off the headline performance. Maybe the XX will come back out though & do it as part of her set.

Ah yes. Fair point. I was at the Glastonbury one & it sure as hell didn't detract from his headline show. Set up the rest of the day nicely. I'm sure there are plenty more examples too. Maybe not the very act before though & on the very same stage.

Nothing could have detracted anything from that Springsteen headline show.

After all, it couldn't have been any worse than it was.

Friday night headliner being announced Monday 21st May looking forward to see who else gets announced along with Florence

They've already headlined and I don't even think they're big enough anymore anyway. would love to see them though, tthey were fantastic at Glastonbury a couple of years ago.

they were fantastic when they headlined Bestival too. And every other time I've seen them (not for a few years now tho).

I detest them on record but I rated them as one of the best live acts around each time i've seen them.

Headlining Wickerman, can't really see it happening at Bestival.

Anyway Neil is/was 100% on Flo was he not?
