3rd Headliner

[fgwoott]

I think it's either eric clapton or lana del rey

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

So it's not a band " but this very special guest will also perform an intimate and exclusive set!"... please, please, please not Example!

If anyone's reading anything into Rob's use of the word "extravaganza", note that Plan B's current live show is a pretty big, theatrical production.....

Plus, he seems to be available next Wednesday, can easily play an initimate set on an acoustic guitar, and is headlining a few other festivals this summer.

Imagine it was Prince...

(But it's probably Plan B or Example unfortunately...)

He's currently touring as part of a band though... Crazy Horse.

Prince?

Atoms for Peace? With Thom Yorke playing an intimate the announcement party?

Bestival aren't going to get Prince over just to play to 100 people on a boat on a Wednesday evening.

Although...

(I know it wont be him but IMAGINE)

[monkey1989]

Ingenue sounded great on JRoss

If he can't get all of Atoms for Peace together why not Thom Yorke and friends

[Gucci Piggy]

Errrm, Hence the sarcastic face I obviously wasn't being serious.

Thom Yorke played a kind of intimate solo set on Jonathan Ross the other night, so I'm going with him & the headliner being Atoms for Peace. I refuse to believe it will be Plan B or Example! Though Plan B would be the lesser of two evils

wasn't there a report of Prince looking for smaller venues to tour?... could it not just be confused with this...?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

But, Atoms For Peace are a band...?

Edit: or is it just the thing next Wednesday that was referred to as being a "special guest"?

[rexclark]

"Here at Bestival HQ, Rob da Bank and crew are super-excited to announce that we'll be revealing our much anticipated 3rd headline act this coming Wednesday 15th May as we take over the HMS President 1918 Bestival style! Holding an exclusive one-off Bestival party in the capital, we'll not only be unveiling our Friday night headliner but this very special guest will also perform an intimate and exclusive set! 100 limited tickets for the party are on sale now - be part of it! http://2013.bestival.net/news/its-all-aboard-the-hms-bestival-party"

Take from that what you will. I think a Thom solo show on Wed & then Atoms for Peace headlining could fit that. But so could a number of other acts.

[Justiceforcedave]

Think you could be right. I'd hope they wouldn't make such a big thing for someone like Example who has struggled to sell out some of his gigs.

[smogo]

I do think that Example is more likely, and I would expect that his full headlining show is probably a lot more of a bangin' live dance show than whenever I've seen him before, at 2pm near the bottom of a festival bill.

I'm really hoping for Plan B's big Strickland Banks + Ill Manors show though.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Thinking about it I would probably watch some of Plan B's set if it is him, he wouldn't be my first choice for the slot by a long way, but he's decent enough I suppose. Easy on the eye too.

But I'd rather be anywhere else in the world than watching Example, my mates dragged me to see him at the Big Chill Festival 2011, awful, awful, awful. Plus he comes across as a right dick & looks like he shares a bed with this fella

[Justiceforcedave]

Errrrugh, really hope it's neither of em. What about Noel Gallagher? I know he said he wasn't doing anymore shows but things can change.

[Dead throne]

Jeff Hanneman hologram?

Bore off. You're trying too hard & you're not funny or original.

[the wonderwhy]

Noel Gallagher would be as bad as Example. Plan B would be much better.

We already have 2 commercial headliners, so I still think it'll be an artist/band that's a little more out of the box/alternative. If I had to put money on it I'd go for Atoms For Peace until they're ruled out one way or another.
