Bestival 2016 Headliners?

[Circus-Freak]

I never said they shouldn't be a headline act, I just said I don't think they are.

Anyways, Rob said announcement is imminent. Let's get back on track huh

Im a huge fan of Sebastien Tellier. He has a huge back log, worked with hundreds of musicians. He writes fantastic songs for fun, and plays many instruments. He is super talented, and would be super happy if he was to headline any night at bestival. But you might not agree. Horses for courses.

 

Sebastien Tellier would be an incredible booking for Bestival!

Have LCD Sound system been ruled out as the final headliner?

Out of interest why are they ruled out? I dont see them having anything on that weekend, are in Ireland the weekend before and I dont recall any form of exclusivity other than Lovebox claiming it is their only London gig.

Has anyone used the shuttle buses from Ryde before? We are thinking of arriving around 2ish on the Thursday...are we likely to encounter big queues at that time?

It's a lottery I'm afraid. That time of day, there's a chance you could miss the worst part of the queues. Thursday in general is pretty hectic at the ferry ports and bus stations.

Im so glad I live 10 mins away from site

[gibble]

Thanks - We have a car full so I think taking the car over might be the best option...

Im stunned we are having to wait this long

I'm half-expecting a post-BST announcement (ie next week) of either Kendrick Lamar (hopefully) or Florence + the Machine (hopefully not).

yeah that's a good shout. seems a bit early to have Florence back. i'd be insanely jealous if they've managed to bag Kendrick

[Circus-Freak]

It's definitely looking like a last minute snag

[smogo]

Probably one of BST's headliners then.  Not Carole King presumably, but take your pick from Florence + the Machine, Kendrick Lamar and Massive Attack.

There's the Bestival radio show at 2pm on Soho Radio...too soon?

Billy Ocean?

LOL - he doesn't even get headline billing at those Rewind festivals!

[Circus-Freak]

I was taking the piss ahaha.

Hopefully not Florence or Massive Attack

[LondonTom]

Fatboy Slim party =p

Didn't see that coming.

[smogo]

Blimey, that's WAY fucking leftfield. I don't really think they're headliner-worthy (and are they joint headliners with separate sets, or a collaboration?), but will probably be fun anyway. I wouldn't expect a huge crowd though.

[smogo]

Oh I get it, Sean Paul's the actual headliner, and Wiz is on before him but has been announced simultaneously to make it look like a slightly stronger booking. I like Sean Paul, I'll probably watch his set.

Wish Prince hadn't died though....
