LondonTom Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah the Chic crowd was massive really! Far bigger than I expected! The tent seemed pretty empty by the time I got into the arena for the end of Revered and the Makers? So I don't think people go just because its on And you can actually hear/see bits of okish from outside the tent, I spent most of Bassment Jax just outside and had a great time rather the massive squash it looked to be inside.

Guy Incognito Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) https://twitter.com/Bestival/status/561233590626025473 Still no date for the first announcement then. Although I don't remember there being one when they announced Oukast last year. edit: edited due to the brutally unforgiving combination of fat fingers and auto-correct Edited January 30, 2015 by rhg_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 https://twitter.com/Bestival/status/561233590626025473 Still no doubt for the first announcement then. Although I don't remember there being one when they announced Oukast last year. I read that as 'No Doubt for the first announcement' & clicked on the link expecting them to have been announced.

smogo Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 They're going to want to get tickets on sale asap so rereckonwe're looking at early next week. I don't remember them ever stopping ticket sales after the early birds had sold out before, so either they've got a huge headliner lined up, or they've never sold all the early birds before. (Or I'm remembering wrong.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hope it's good! Going this year for the first time so I have high expectations after years of people telling me how good it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 GORILLAZ. I said Gorillaz first. Just checked twitter and I finally understand your post! If that happened i'd be over the moon regardless of whatever forum user on here says! It would be incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hope it's good! It is. Its loud. Its a nice smallish lovely site. The weather is usually nice. Good mix of acts. Just don't be one of the few dicks that go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Duran Duran seem to be playing festivals this summer. Not sure if they'd sub or headline at Bestival but I could see RDB booking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Potentially if they've got an album to announce Bestival looks likely, but I wouldn't put any money on it, don't even know if they are doing shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Duran Duran at Bestival would raise chances of a Festival No. 6 slot, which would please the crap out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 mehh i'd find it hard to get excited over Gorillaz after seeing their Glastonbury performance, but i think they could definitely be a contender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Well today's bad news is that Mumford & Sons are back together. The good news is that Reading & Leeds have nabbed them, so Bestival is safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Chic?they didn't headline the first time they played.In fact, it seems like almost no-one knew who they were. It was very obvious that plenty of peeps in the crowd didn't know any of the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Chic are basically the Bestival house band - they did get a pretty sizeable crowd in 2013, I ducked out of watching them after 10 minutes when I realised that every part of the performance was exactly the same as the previous time I saw them, the same thing happened again at WHP in the same year.

The60ftOctopus Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 If I had to put money on it i'd say Aphex Twin. Other guesses would be Bjork and Mark Ronson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
