Bestival 2015 headline guesses

[kaytee...]

New site map is available. Invaders of the future stage is no longer in the campsite and blue camping has gone in favour of guest camping.

[Staff_Sav]

Temple island camping near where invaders stage was. Maybe temple island moved?

Temple island is still in the magic meadow field same as last year.

No music in wishing tree field except the Wishing Tree. Wish they kept the reggae bit though

[Staff_Sav]

I don't understand why they are moving it all out the campsites. A few years ago you had arcadia right at the far end in white campsite. And there's getting less and less stages in the campsite which is balls. The magic meadow is looking good to be fair, it was very good last year. Part of me likes having a lot of stuff with less distance to cover, but I liked to be really near a stage when in my tent

[Staff_Sav]

The sta travel hostel has music sets on between 5-7.

All I can think of is in inbetweeners 2 when they are around the camp fire "if someone starts playing the bongos, I'm fucking off"

Last year Temple Island camping was behind the wishing tree/reggae stage, don't know why they've moved it to the other side, maybe behind the wishing tree is punter camping now?

people might have gone over this already but any (informed) guesses about the special guests?? x

[Chesterfield Cola]

Sad to see nothing has replaced the Reggae stage, it was such a nice place to chill with a few cans at the end of a day. Cynic in me thinks they just want me paying for booze if I'm going to watch some acts.

RDB has tweeted some Thursday night Big Top times:

 

Underworld - 12.30am-2am

Jamie XX - 10.45pm

Gorgon City - 8.10pm

[FloorFiller]

man that tent is gonna be absolutely rammed but i NEED to see Jamie xx (and probably Underworld). can imagine Gorgon City is gonna be mega popular as well so looks like a night at the Big Top for me

[Homer]

I haven't been on Thurs before. When's good to get in? I HAVE to see Underworld, so I guess I'll be aiming for the churn straight after the act before Jamie XX (there seems to be room for one more there - presumably a DJ set - looks like a possible RDB secret slot if he's not announcing it).

There's usually comperes & filler DJs on from Friday between acts on the Big Top, not sure about Thursday.

I'd be mingle outside the tent/bar area during Jamie XX to get a decent spot for Underworld. I can see that being like Basement Jaxx last year.

[the wonderwhy]

I definitely want to seen Jamie XX and Underworld. Not keen on big crowds for dance stuff though, like my space to move... might just mill around the edge of the tent all evening. 

[FloorFiller]

is Underworld still doing their Dubnobasswithmyheadman tour? saw it at Primavera so not in a huge rush to see it again (although i'm sure it'll be much better in a tent off my tits rather than in the open mildly drunk). Jamie xx though is a must for me, so i guess i'll be hanging around outside during Gorgon City, who i could take or leave

 

edit: never mind, looks like they are doing it at Bestival... i'll probably still go see em

Carnivale has replaced it. There's some sort of music/cabaret/carnival acts there. Not sure what to expect really.

[Homer]

Good news re Underworld from the Besti listing:
 

"It promises to be a career spanning set of techno anthems."

[jonodillieono]

That's no good news. I wanted to see dubnobasswithmyheadman I couldn't get tickets for the Manchester one

[FloorFiller]

honestly outside of dubnobass and Born Slippy i couldn't name a single other Underworld song, but it's kind of good news for me after having already seen that show (although it was awesome so i really wouldn't mind seeing it again - i'd just have a hard time convincing my friends)

[Homer]

Oh, are Slaves Sat? I assume the Big Top?

[Staff_Sav]

Might try slaves again if they are in a tent or a small venue.

Last time I saw fat white family they werent very good, but that might have been because I wasn't sure where I was after playing a game of "who's head is the hardest".

Future islands were so good at glasto, really want to see them again.

Chemical Brothers, Drenge, boy better know, special guests, skrillex,

Otherwise I'll just float around and chill.

Didn't enjoy skrillex at glasto last year, but the port is my favourite festival stage I have ever been to, so in that environment it's gonna be amazing.

The Sunday night is the best night to push yourself to the extreme (and sleep through the queues on Monday morning)
