the wonderwhy Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 True, as I say it was just a suggestion, not even for next year maybe but sometime in the future?... It's just with him saying he'd like to branch out more and book 'heavier' acts, I rekon alternative acts like FNM, Jane's Addiction etc would be more suited than say Metallica.

Honeyfuzz Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Defo not Depeche Mode. Rob said he tried and they're in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulomas Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 i reckon the maccabees or foals are in for a good shout for friday night headliner next year. maybe even The Maccabees headlining with Foals underneath to strengthen it up a bit for the people who think either would be too weak. rob loves both and either would fit in the friday night slot (florence, pendulum, dizzee etc etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe- Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have a feeling Maccabees will be at IOW next year, not sure where from, but seems like they'd fit in there. Good shout with Foals, I reckon someone like them or Bloc Party will do Friday night. Chase and Status perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdfish Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 no way are Foals or The Maccabees big enough to headline, i would love to see Foals though and they'd be a great sub Bloc Party would be a decent headliner, they're definitely big enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Foals under Mumford would be good for the Friday night. QOTSA on the Saturday if they want to start heading 'that way'? Then Daft Punk on the Sunday to celebrate 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinaski_ Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Indeed, I think the UK is missing a festival to cater for the 'alternative cross over' market in the way that Phoenix & R&L used to do. (Though I'm not saying Bestival is necessarily the place to do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah I'd love to see a festival go down that route, the rumours of Phoenix coming back had got me excited, but alas it came to nothing. I'd love to see a UK festival similar to Primavera, but also with camping. I think there could be a market for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bort Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Depeche Mode and Pulp are now out of the running, so... Daft Punk Mumford & Sons or Phoenix Portishead or ? Edited December 1, 2012 by Bort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds? New album coming out in early 2013, never played Bestival before & seems like the sort of act that would fit in pretty well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe- Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Kind of thought Bloc Party were a good shout. Have a feeling Mumfords are real likely. If they don't headline R&L like people think they will. Doesn't seem right though. If Alt-J aren't at IOW, I can imagine them being pretty high up at Bestival. Not sure who else to suggest as most of the bands that really fit in at Bestival have already headlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisque Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Not sure if Bloc Party will headline but think they may do the Flo and sub R&L. I'm finding it hard to say Mumford won't headline R&L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
