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... The Big Top, I'm sure, but not the main stage. Probably was incorporating Grime into Hip Hop as there's lots of Grime on the line up so far and has been for past few years. Although, Ice Cube for Sunday headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smogo Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I don't think Ice Cube has enough well-known tracks to be a Bestival headliner. Also, he's playing lots of other places, whereas if you're comparing him to Missy last year, she was an exclusive. A world exclusive, I think.

Kendrick's only UK festival is BST so i doubt it'll be him. as for Will, he said last year that he'd be touring this year but there's been no further word on it so maybe it isn't happening just yet - guess he's got to juggle his acting career with it and he'll have Suicide Squad to promote soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Will Smith seems pretty shrewd and, although I know little about this, common sense would tell me that if you're relaunching a vaguely risible hip hop career, Bestival might not be the safest or smartest place to do it!

hoils Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 With The Who doing the final night at IOW, spare nights seemingly running out at BST and Adele all but confirmed for Glasto, we're running out of English festivals for the Roses to headline. So, a theory; Bestival are holding off on announcing the Roses for the Sunday night until the majority of the unsold tickets for Wednesday at the Etihad are gone. A theory with as many holes in as Villa's back 4 this year but a boy can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't really be anymore surprising than Muse & we know he went after them. As for Bestival not having the money, there's very little to back that up... In fact, if they could afford Muse last year on top of a completed line up (I know it didn't work out in the end )then I'd say it's fair to assume that RDB does have disposable cash to throw at big acts when he feels the need/desire to. I'm not entirely sure why I'm arguing the point because I don't think it will be the Stone Roses anyway Edited March 18, 2016 by Frankly Mr Shankly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Roses (or somebody of their stature) and The Cure in one year seems a lot bigger than what they've done in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 If I know Bestival, the last headliner will he someone no one's even considered. In memory, Missy Elliott, Bjork, Elton and Stevie were all total curveballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghandi Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 As I didn't get a Glastonbury ticket ( my annual festival of choice for the past 6 yrs) , I thought i'd try Bestival this year. Looking at their website I see that the headliners are The Cure, Hot Chip and Laser Laser. I did search 2016........ unless I'm missing something?

Homer Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hot Chip are headlining the Big Top on the Thursday night (the main stage doesn't open until Friday). Major Lazer Friday, The Cure Saturday, Sunday TBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustJoe1990 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 A few more added to the line-up. No one really stand out there to be honest but probably a couple I would see if there's no clashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
