Bestival 2013

[the wonderwhy]

Portishead and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are possibilties as well i think.

Gigwise read eFestivals - and make a better fist of their guesses than usual:

Nick Cave headlining Bestival would be one of the sexiest things imaginable.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

At this stage I shall hazard a guess at the line up looking something along the lines of this:

Friday:

Vampire Weekend

Foals

Chaka Khan

Big Top:

Fat Boy Slim

Annie Mac

Sat:

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Snoop Dogg

Alt-J

Big Top:

M.I.A

The Bloody Beetroots

Sun:

Elton John

Belle & Sebastian

Paloma Faith

Big Top:

The Knife

James Murphy

I'd like to see The Field play somewhere.

Would be something I'd except @frankly.

Annie mac would be sat though, 'cus she owns that day haha.

Public Enemy would be great if they played too. They were so good last time.

Just off the top of my head im kinda terrible at this whole thing soo dont hate on me

[the wonderwhy]

Mumford & QOTSA are both bigger than Bloc Party.

Can't see The XX headlining just a year after subbing, although I think they'll do it eventually.

Foals have got to be a good shout for sub, doesn't look like they'll be at IOW

[smogo]

Haven't Foals said they never want to play an outdoor stage ever again?

And Rob's already said The xx won't be headlining this year because that'd be too predictable.

(I have to laugh at Tom12's idea that he'd ever book Phil Collins.....)

[LondonTom]

Mumford & QOTSA are both bigger than Bloc Party.

[the wonderwhy]

QoSTA would be about the same size I'd guess (Unless Grohl does tour with them)...but I doubt they would play under Bloc Party

And Bloc Party won't be there as they are doing IoW (I think that's how it works?)

[lifelessfool]

I would love to see belle and sebastian and phoenix there, foals is a really good shout as a sub though. I'd quite like to see Franz Ferdinand too as they were pretty good at primavera.

[the wonderwhy]

I reckon Franz Ferdinand are the Camp Bestival headliner mentioned in the interview? Just a hunch though

I can see them perhaps playing the Big Top. Maybe Foals will go in there too if they don't like outdoor stages. Both would have to headline though

[weirdfish]

Underworld would be amazing

[Tom12]

Elbow would be good

[Paul ™]

Elbow would be good

[smogo]

Already done it.

[Paul ™]

As have Underworld.

[eFestivals]

Elbow would be good

I'm pretty sure they're having this year off &/or doing an album.
