Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Can't imagine ever seeing someone being called a liar and then demanding an apology... What? Edited February 25, 2014 by Frankly Mr Shankly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 i feel sorry for Matt the Bestival forum mod. he's trying so hard to defend Chic but fighting a losing battle - there's no way about it that it's a poor and strange booking and seems to have pissed a lot of (regular) attendees off all this said though, i'm sure i'll end up going to see Chic and have a fantastic time. i like them. it's just a shame their headline performance has come at a time when they've been fucking everywhere and people are tiring of them. should've just headlined last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-Mo'Fucka Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) edit - deleted comment for being rubbish fortunately I still hold strong hopes for the rest of the line up. and i'll probably go anyway cause i 'f**kin' loves it'. big top and the port had really good line ups last year so here's hopin' Edited February 25, 2014 by JC-Mo'Fucka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think this is probably what you saw. It is easily misunderstood: Jonathan Pollock Very disappointed Bestival, they were lower down the bill last year!!! Like · Reply · 4 · 18 hours ago Bestival So were Disclosure but no-one complained when we announced them again this year? Nile and Chic are much much bigger now then they were a year ago... Like · 4 · 17 hours ago Jonathan Pollock yes but disclosure aren't headlining, so obviously more people are going to complain about Chic ft. Nile Rodgers because he is! Like · 17 hours ago Bestival They are playing second to top on the main stage though. Either way it's going to be an amazing set and finale....trust us, you'll love it. Or if not, you can check out one of the many other things going on at the same time all over the site. Like · 4 · 17 hours ago Does this mean Disclosure are subbing?

smogo Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think it's brilliant. Disclosure into Outkast on the Friday, Busta Rhymes into Major Lazer on the Sunday. Nile who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Disclosure into Outkast will be brilliant. probably the one thing (currently) on the lineup that's getting me excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) They're in no way big enough to sub though, that's my point. hmm i can see why you'd think that but they are pretty huge. at any other festival it'd definitely be brought into question but at Bestival i think they make a great sub. obviously not on par with say… Sigur Ros, but they're definitely as big (if not much bigger) than Two Door Cinema Club were that year when they subbed New Order Edited February 25, 2014 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Disclosure > Outkast will be fucking fantastic. Plus Disclosure will be playing their first main stage gig at a time that will benefit being late enough to be dark... Plus I reckon Aluna & Ed from Friendly Fires will be knocking about to join them! Edited February 26, 2014 by Couchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smogo Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sometimes at Bestival they put bigger acts on earlier in the day, leaving the sub-headline spot for a smaller act that will happen to be awesome at that time of evening. Like in 2011 the Friday went Public Enemy - Magnetic Man - Pendulum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in 2011 the Friday went Public Enemy - Magnetic Man - Pendulum. Wasn't it Chromeo before Magnetic Man? I remember being extremely not sober and running riot during them haha Also, what happened to having DJ's on the main stage before acts during the changover? I seem to remember Zane Lowe, James Blake, Rob da Bank and more all playing in 2011 (and they were listed on the timetable as well), can't remember this happening in 2012 or 13.

hoils Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yep you're right... Public Enemy - Chromeo - Magnetic Man - Pendulum. I miss the main stage DJs too. With Brian Wilson (surely the real headliner of that day) on before the mighty Chuck and the slightly less mighty Flav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Completely forgot about Brian Wilson, he was excellent. 2011 was a strong year looking back. Was there/is there a reason main stage DJ's are a thing of the past? I remember Flux Pavilion on the main stage in 2012 (swapped with Soulwax?) but nothing since then really.

Tuna Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 mentioning Soulwax.. hope they're back again. was excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Zane Lowe & Mark Ronson did a 90-minute set on the main stage last year. But during the changeovers they more often have live hosts (Cuban Brothers, Lost & Found, Too Many T's etc) than DJs. That's how it's always been though. Beardyman used to do a lot of the hosting at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ah fair, I've only done 11,12 and 13 so wasn't sure what happened in the years previously! Talking of DJs, very interested in who we're gonna get for the Port stage tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetmark Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 mentioning Soulwax.. hope they're back again. was excellent selfishly, i hope they hold of a year or 2 so i can actually go and catch them. i really want to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
