SOAD Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thinking about doing my first Bestival this year... well been thinking about it for a few years now but this year's lineup is looking great. Just wondering any news on if LCD Soundsystem are a possibility for third headliner? They are the major band making me try in the Glasto resales atm but I sort of want to take a year away from Glasto and not sure if I'll be able to make it to Lovebox.

smogo Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 No, Rob said a few weeks ago that LCD aren't at Bestival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just work out a way to see them at Lovebox and do Bestival anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum_96 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It would probably be dreadful but what about Jake Bugg to headline? He's obviously got an amazing agent having subbed T and Reading and headlined the Other Stage at Glastonbury? I wouldn't be surprised to see him announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock has no doubt fallen significantly since he played those slots in 2014, and he really isn't a Bestival type act (not as a headliner, anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ice Cube popping up at a few festivals - surely he's gonna be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised, all the festivals he seems to be playing over here seem to be for earlier on in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAD Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Well put my deposit down. Pretty excited to be doing Bestival for the first time. Any rumours at all? I'm hoping for at least some of: Someone like Gorillaz, Pixies, The National or Will Smith for final headliner Chvrches; Belle and Sebastian; Silversun Pickups; Editors; Everything Everything; dEUS; The Joy Formidable; Future of the Left; Of Montreal; Idlewild; Turbowolf; Eagles of Death Metal; Run the Jewels; Frightened Rabbit; Caro Emerald; Grimes; The Front Bottoms; Kagoule; The Kills; Savages; Tall Ships; Cage the Elephant; Puscifer; Public Service Broadcasting etc. I realise that a lot of these bands are more suited elsewhere but it would be nice to get some of them slotted into the lineup. Don't feel like any would look out of place... but then again Bestival can pretty much book whatever.

stocky3000 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think Gorillaz would be the only feasible remaining headliner that would get me there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustJoe1990 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Diplo, Fatboy Slim and Carl Cox to headline The Spaceport. Well happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally think she could headline but not really in this set of headliners. They've recently had more sorta uplifting 'party' acts headline the Sunday nights haven't they? Which Lana would be the dead-opposite of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibble Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Is it likely we have any Big Top headliners yet (other than Hot Chip)? I'm just wondering what's left to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughbloke Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I don't think it will be anyone big. Remember a few years ago we thought the final headliner was going to be massive and it ended up being Chic (this was a let down as we had had Nile Rodgers the year before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibble Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm still thinking the last headliner will be a hip hop act. Pre first announcement Rob Da Bank said there would be "quite a few" big hip hop acts but i don't think there's really anything that would count as such yet...
