Bestival 2013

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I imagine Foals will be in the next announcement given they're not at IOW. Doubt they'll miss both of the island fests out...

Another thing, is Glasto lineup likely to have any effect on the third headliner?

Just wondering, with Portishead, Chase & Status and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds being announced.

Primal Scream possible too?

Ahh yeah 2007, year before I started going.. oh well..

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Hmm. Don't quite think they're at headliner, so I'd imagine they'd have to sub the Friday headliner.

Flaming Lips are probably gonna sub that night going by their website.

[the wonderwhy]

Portishead/Nick Cave

Flaming Lips

Belle & Sebastian

Franz Ferdinand

Snoop Dogg

Wu-Tang Clan

The Roots

The Knife

Elton John

Foals

Bombay Bicycle Club

M.I.A

I reckon

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

If the Knife & M.I.A clash with Snoop & Elton I will not be amused!

I've not heard any confirmation that they're subbing, but I would think they maybe too big for the Big Top?

Good point about it finishing later, I'd forgot that. Suppose I could watch the majority of Snoop then head over to see the Knife. I'm not sure if M.I.A will be in the Big Top though, could see it being pretty rammed if she is.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I fear Snoop may be shit if he focuses too much on the whole 'snoop lion' thing. I want old school hip hop Snoop!

Will let you know, will see him at Exit in July

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

A name that came into my head when I was thinking about next years potential headliners was Diana Ross... So I checked to see if she still tours & it turns out she's doing a US tour this year in August. So plenty of time to pop over to Europe for a few dates in Sep. Now, I know she's unlikely to say the least, but it wouldn't be the first time Rob's pulled a wild card out that nobody expected...

Nile Rodgers breaking it down with Diana would be something not to miss for sure.

Snoop is actually down as 'Snoop Lion' for Exit, whereas for Bestival he's down as 'Snoop Dogg'

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm thinking we'll end up with something like this:

Thursday Big Top:

PiL

Dj Fresh

Dexy's

Courtney Pine

Friday:

Portishead

The Flaming Lips

Belle & Sebastian

James Blake

Big Top:

Franz Ferdinand

Johnny Marr

Bastille

Peace

Saturday:

Snoop Dogg

M.I.A

Wu-Tang-Clan

The Roots

Big Top:

Annie Mac Presents

Netsky

Hot Natured

Disclosure

Rudimental

Sunday:

Elton John

Foals

Chic & Nile Rodgers

Jessie Ware

Big Top:

The Knife

Bombay Bicycle Club

Sinead O'Connor

Tom Odell

On a side note, christ the Bestival part of this forum is dead, hardly anyone posts.

When you put the line up like that it looks excellent. Definitely beats Glastonbury for me.

[Zacko]

Agree with rexclark, looks top.

One thing though, would Disclosure and Jessie Ware play Annie Mac Presents again? Could see something like this instead if they didn't:

Skream and Benga

Sub Focus

Annie Mac

Rudimental

Julio Bashmore

Redlight

Bondax

Not sure she'll top Justice! That was a big, big booking.

Also, I know they would never do it because they're probably too heavy but Rage Against the Machine would kill it if they ever headlined. I'm just watching the Finsbury DVD and remembering how great a show it was...

Hot Natured are playing as part of AMP.

The Thursday lineup includes Courtney Pine (confirmed) and Fresh/Live (judging by the date on DJ Fresh's website).

[the wonderwhy]

Bastille are playing the Saturday according to facebook.

Reminded me that they're playing both IOW & Bestival...

[Justiceforcedave]

So are we thinking that C&S are most likely the third headliner based on what happend last year with Florence/Reading or does Glasto throw that idea out the window?

Bestival has already solved my Portishead/Chic clash....could it also help me with my Pumpkins/Nick Cave problem?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

RDB doesn't follow patterns so the R&L thing is pretty irrelevant, all it does is show they're around I suppose. But if we're assuming the Flaming Lips are subbing (they're doing Friday) I don't see them doing it to Chase & Status...

Nick Cave, Portishead or Vampire Weekend are my 3 hunches at the minute.

The National seem to be knocking about this summer & are yet to be announced anywhere in the UK, I don't know if they're big enough though?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I didn't mean in the sense of following a pattern. I meant there must be a reason why the third headliner hasn't been announced yet and last year Flo wasn't announced due to being a sub at Reading. C&S are potential candidates this year and with that in mind it could be them.

I'd love it to be Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, but why hold off announcing them?
