Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 DJ set on the Port maybe? I can't seem them being a main stage headliner now, it would be too '90's dance' oreientated... I suppose they could headline the Big Top, but that's just asking for trouble.

Zacko Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) DJ Set at the port could work, I remember reading they had a 'massive' (or wording along those lines) headliner for the Port still to announce.

LondonTom Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Good point on the DJ Slot at the port! Fits in well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Jesus, if Ellie Goulding is ever considered to headline Bestival.......makes me shudder to think about that as a possiblity! Thankfully I can't see it ever happening. If she played she'd either be a sub or a headliner so I don't know why you're shuddering... since she takes up high slots at pretty much every European festival.

Gucci Piggy Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The shuddering evidently had nothing to do with her being big enough for the slot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisque Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hot Chip are playing TitP, headliners at Bestival yet? Would love to see them on the line up if they aren't already. Can't be arsed to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Hot Chip were a main stage sub-headliner in 2010, and headlined the Thursday (Big Top, obviously) in 2012. I don't think they've done anything since to justify being bumped up to main stage headliner status, but wouldn't be surprised to see them on the bill. They used to play practically every year.

Tuna Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 New album out in May. They're very good friends of the festival, aren't they? 2 Bears are usually there if not Hot Chip. Wouldn't be surprised to be honest, and would be an excellent headline act. Problem being I think they'll be in quite a lot of places this summer and also they've confirmed they're doing a "proper" tour in Autumn 2015. Don't think they'd be a big enough draw as a result so don't see it happening. Look at me just unconvincing myself. I'm good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I would have though hot chip headlining Green man would rule them out headlining bestival as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I would have though hot chip headlining Green man would rule them out headlining bestival as well Do they get similar crowds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Would absolutely love Hot Chip to headline, Glasto 2010 and then when they did the Big Top are all time highlights for me. Kinda agree with the above about it being unlikely though...which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Would love/think they could pull it off to but yeah think it seems unlikely for them headline. I guess it depends on who else is avaliable to him as an option to headline to though! So hopefully in some ways, he can't get a proper 3rd headline sized act and turns to Hot Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festyfort Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Haven't kept up with this, are Duran Duran headlining or subbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Haven't kept up with this, are Duran Duran headlining or subbing? definitely not headlining - probably subbing (although could be elsewhere on the lineup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobieski Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 So it looks like me and me pals are heading to Bestival this year! Incredibly excited for this one, the lineup is already incredible. Would anyone be able to give me an insight into who we think the remaining headliners will be? Underworld, Portishead, Chemical Brothers and Flying Lotus closing a stage on the Sunday would do me nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm thinking Skrillex or Rebel Sound for the "very big" Sunday night closer at the Port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) So Florence is supposedly doing the Toronto edition... (I don't think they'll book two repeats in the same year, but food for thought...) Edited March 1, 2015 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 She was always gonna do that though with her being booked for UK a couple of times and at Bonnaroo that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Nas would be a welcome addition to the UK line up. Florence can bugger off. I doubt RDB would rebook her so soon & especially not as Chemical Brothers are already a 'repeat' headliner & apparently Bestival's first repeat headliner ever (though I thought Fat Boy Slim was in 2013) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
