Oh, not to rub it in but that will make it all the more special, they were already pretty high up on my list of acts to see at Bestival.

Gutted they're calling time on the project for a bit though.

i hope la roux and outkast dont clash completely

[smogo]

I'm pretty sure La Roux's not on until after The 2 Bears, and they're starting at midnight, after OutKast have finished.

[Tuna]

those who havent seen darkside before -- really do, they're absolutely extraordinary. might not get a chance to for a long time.

When do the day splits and set times get released?

When do the day splits and set times get released?

Usually 2 or 3 days beforehand. They always say set times will only be available once the festival's started, but there's a phone app coming as per usual, and it tends to get updated with the times on the Monday or Tuesday, plus lots of the smaller stages had their running times published on the website at around the same time last year.

Day splits as I've found them so far are at http://forum.bestival.net/showthread.php?603-Day-Stage-Splits

When can you book the shuttle buses from the ferry to the festival?

[ukslim]

Last time I used the shuttle bus, there was no booking. Get on and pay. If the bus is full, queue for the next one.

Just got approval to have this weekend off

Late but will sort a ticket later, been listening to alot of Outkast lately and decided its best to go just incase they don't do anymore shows

[Toffee Crisp]

Anyone know the chances of Outkast clashing with Caribou? That would be a horrendous scenario!

[ukslim]

Smogo has a post over on the official forum http://forum.bestival.net/showthread.php?603-Day-Stage-Splits with his guesses of the stage splits.

If La Roux starts after Outkast has ended, then an Outkast/Caribou split does look like a possibility, sorry.

[smogo]

Possibly... I reckon Caribou and Temples will clash with Disclosure and OutKast, but it's anyone's guess which way round. The 2 Bears are on at midnight (ie after OutKast), then La Roux after them (until 3am), presumably with a DJ set in between.

According to this website... http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/outkast-bd6cd72.html, Outkasts sets have been pretty similar across their tour. Based on this you could potentially choose either the first or second half with the most songs you want to see (1st for me if I had to choose), and then see half of caribou as well. Although its obviously not guaranteed that will be the exact playlist

Chaka Khans in the uk early September could she be chics special guest ?

[smogo]

According to her website she's in Japan all weekend.

[monkey1989]

haha maybe should have checked that

Where has it been confirmed that La Roux are on after The 2 Bears?

[smogo]

When The 2 Bears were announced, Rob da Bank said they were playing at midnight. Assuming La Roux is Friday night's Big Top headliner, she won't be on at the same time as OutKast, therefore she must be on after the Bears.

Booked finally!

Now just need to decide on hover boat or treking to Lymington, a bit longer but I figure less people

[Tuna]

Day/stage splits tomorrow, according to the Bestival twitter account.

1st song for me then im offski.

Day by day we're being drip fed the splits, starting with Thursday's schedule tomorrow. Taking laid back to a whole new level and leaving me stressing like fuck about the Caribou/Outkast situation! Bloody RDB.
