Matt42 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Chase and status would be a really good bestival headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Announcement coming early Feb. Major Lazer, Chase & Status, OutKast, Kylie That's my guess. Edited January 14, 2014 by Frankly Mr Shankly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Major Lazer as headliner? Chase + Status, Foals and... Kylie, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Major Lazer as headliner? Chase + Status, Foals and... Kylie, I guess. Agh, bloody phone. I missed out Chase & Status... Major Lazer was meant to be the Thursday headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Chase & Status and Foals are definitely good shots, although knowing Rob perhaps too obvious? OutKast could be on, might be out of the running for T (and potentially Wireless) if they are doing this US festival the week after T that has hinted at having them. Perhaps they'll be over later, rather than June/July as we first thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobieski Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 OutKast, Foals, Lionel Richie. Do we think this joint Royksopp and Robyn tour will appear at Bestival, or is that a UK exclusive at Latitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 UK exclusive I think. Chase and Status, OutKast and something older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 UK exclusive I think. Chase and Status, OutKast and something older. Yup, from the press release: "Latitude will be the only opportunity in the UK to catch these grand masters of electro-pop performing hits from their illustrious careers."

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 So it looks like the Strokes will be touring after all. They could make a decent Bestival headliner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobieski Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Interpol possibly? Supposed to be recording their fifth album this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 O_o Bestival didn't want to announce it themselves? Makes sense! Not a bad booking at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I assume it'll be formally announced tomorrow what with it being out in the open now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoHall Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 @BestivalBiscuit tweeted they would let a headliner slip before the end of the week yesterday... seems it happened a lot sooner than expected! great booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughbloke Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 to be clear Outkast are our biggest headliner @bestival 2014 and no, Prince, Daft Punk, David Bowie and The Beatles aren't playing this year From Rob Da Bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Anybody reckon Sigur Ros would be in with a shot at headlining after their 2012 set they were upset with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I can live with that. Foals, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, Chase & Status, Morrissey, Portishead, Pixies, Major Lazer... There are plenty of other potential headliners that are 'smaller' than OutKast.

There are plenty of other potential headliners that are 'smaller' than OutKast. True, Outkast being the 'biggest' isn't a particulalrly impressive claim by other standards but the Bestival haven't shied away form 'smaller' headliners (Snoop, New Order, Fatboy Slim/Flaming Lips). Pixies and Jack White would fit pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Portishead - Outkast - Morrissey. Anything less and it's you I blame, Shankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I can't remember the exact details of it but I seem to think Neil said something about Morrissey touring again this year. I feel that Foals and Chase and Status will be the other headliners though, unless there's a necessity to have a more 'legendary' headliner.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Portishead - Outkast - Morrissey. Anything less and it's you I blame, Shankly. That would be perfect, with Major Lazer headlining the Thursday...Just the right balance of moody/seriousness & energetic/fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan8k Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Outkast are a massive selling band across the world, speakerboxx/love below is 11x Platinum. So in those terms, they probably would be the biggest headliner if you look at that way, and plenty of other excellent headliner options.
