Announcement tomorrow at 10am

Just announced. Grace Jones and Belle and Sebastian headlining.

A massive meh from me so far, which is a shame as the festival/lineup was so good last year!

Sorry to hear that. Personally I think it's a great 1st announcement. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

[johnl]

Me too. Gutted so far. It's a long way for me so probably won't bother now.

[dentalplan]

The main two tents' lineup is quite unimportant when you're there though. So much other stuff to go do and also smaller stages. Wouldn't write it off yet.

Does seem pretty standard though as everyone expected Belles and the undercard acts seem par for the course. They're going hard on these DJ's though - more announced than bands.

Personally, I'm delighted. It's the sort of lineup I'd hope for.

[cdm22]

Really hoping to do this festival one day, i've only heard good things about it.

[johnl]

Went last year (mainly for Beck) and it was great. Bit disappointed so far but we've decided we're gonna go anyway. Hopefully they'll pull something out of the bag for the last headliner although I think it's more likely to be a newer act.

[DomDom1984]

The last time the last headliner was Pet Shop Boys. I'd take something like that.

[neil_clarky]

Yes also very disappointed with the line up so far! Hopefully a lot more to come. Really don't like Belle and Sebastien's new album I don't feel they will make good headliners

[dirty_dog]

this is one festival I'm not really arsed about the lineup as that only draws you away from the main attraction and thats the Village itself.

[DomDom1984]

Does anyone else think that there's a good chance that Chemical Brothers are the Sunday headliner? They seem to like their DJs these days so it would make sense and would be a decent coup.

what day they playing Bestival?

Bestival now has a small stake in No 6 so you might get more acts being shared

[DomDom1984]

No idea. Just need to hope it's not the Sunday. Doesn't look like it is though.

[johnl]

no chance they would share main headliners. Bestival is 3 x the size.

FN6 normally bump up a newbie so I reckon you are more likely to see someone like George Ezra or maybe Chvrches as the last headliner.

[DomDom1984]

Aye, it's not like they shared Beck last year.

[dentalplan]

Beck wasn't a main headliner technically.

I would have doubts about it but it's not impossible. Playing Saturday at Bestival either way.

[DomDom1984]

Oh, I'd also say Pet Shop Boys are probably on the level of Chemical Brothers, so don't see why it's such a stretch.

I'm thinking Elbow as last headliner? Purely from a selfish point of view more than anything. Did see Mr Garvey at Chic last year though, so he's probably already a fan of the festival...

[DomDom1984]

Elbow would be a cracking coup for them, but I really hope it's not them. Seen them before, and once was one time too many.

he is good friends with the people who run this festival so I would expect them to headline at some point

[johnl]

Elbow are at Kendall Calling. I would be surprised if they played FN6 as well.

[Stanton]

Personally would like an electronic third headliner. Chemical Brothers, Leftfield or Hot Chip. Just a shame LCD are no more, reckon No 6 would have been ideal for them.

yep deffo, Chems would be great and Hot Chip would be a bit special, Hot Chip Headlining Green Man though so no chance of them this year.

They could do with a strong third headliner with having 2 very weak ones
