Bestival 2016 Headliners?

I assume the final headliner will be more of a novelty act rather than somebody like Kendrick?

As long as Ride are on the same time as Major Lazer (makes most sense surely?), then Hot Chip, The Cure and Ride is good for me. Along with Ghostpoet, Animal Collective, Jagwar Ma, Mo and Wolf Alice, it's a good start.

Ride are main stage Saturday, before the Cure.

Didn't know that. Gutted, only really bothered about Ride/Cure. Not enough to warrant me spending £200+ 

 

You obviously don't like them as much as my wife and her mates.  They'll all be spending £200+ just to see the Cure.

Well thats just daft! They are doing 3 nights at Wembley for £50 a night!

(although i did the same last time they did Bestival! in my defence they didn't have any other dates planned and Bjork and PJ Harvey were playing too :D )

Yeah, they're going to all those gigs too. Plus a bunch around Europe and America.

The Cure were awful there the last time, not enough to temp me back again, but then I fell out with the place a few years back.. lost its way for me.

yeah i was really excited to return last year after not going for a couple of years but thought the atmosphere had changed an awful lot. not in any hurry to return unless they ever pull a stupendous lineup out of the bag

Unfortunately being 18 I don't have that kinda money to just spend on one gig. I'll have to ask your wife if she can lend me some money though eh? :lol:

not enough to make me want to go again but that's shaping up to be a great lineup. definitely can't argue with The Cure being repeated. very envious of that booking

So what is main music genre preference? I agree The Cure is decent but I'd never attend the fest. I would guess that's them done for huge headers as The Cure cost a bit.

i don't understand the question?

yeah i imagine The Cure cost them a fair whack so i wouldn't expect the last headliner to be huge, although i couldn't fathom a guess on who it'd be - Bestival headliners are notoriously hard to predict due to them varying in size so much

Sorry, I meant to say so what is your main music genre?

Could the 3rd be Billy Joel. At wembley the saturday night

would certainly fit in with previous bookings like Stevie and Elton, although it doesn't look like he's doing two nights on the trot at any point on his tour. in fact, there are huge week+ long gaps in between all of his live dates, so maybe not

Yeah or it could be Coldplay feat. Vera fucking Lynn.

This is Bestival we're taking about, not some picnic in Hyde Park.

i refer you back to Elton John having headlined a few years ago. not that it's gonna happen, but how would Billy Joel headlining be in any way different?

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
