2017 headliner guesses

Recommended Posts

Just got an email from Ticketline offering weekend tickets for £150 for 48 hours only (and a refund of the difference for those of us who've already bought tickets).

So that suggests that we'll be getting the first lineup announcement in about 48 hours' time, ie midday on Friday perhaps.

Nothing much of note re: pass outs, basically just says that people in camping can only re-enter site up until 4pm Friday, anyone staying off site needs to have a non-camping ticket and that there will be arrangements made for them to move on and off site

I'm guessing that's one of the terms of the licence. Wonder if they'll keep that stupid "alcohol on your first entry only" rule...

C&P reentry rules:

RE-ENTRY RULES

This year we are introducing re-entry rules to respect our new neighbours and the local village. Access to car parks will be allowed to help you bring in your camping equipment and bags in more than one trip if needed, but will be limited as follows:

Pass-outs to access car parks only then re-enter the event are allowed until 4pm Friday with Weekend Camping Tickets. You will not be able to leave the event on foot via the car parks.

Pass-outs and re-entry are not allowed at any time via the Shuttle Bus / Taxi Drop-off entrance with Weekend Camping Tickets.

Pass-outs and re-entry are not allowed at any entrance after 4pm on Friday with Weekend Camping Tickets.

Re-entry is permitted on all days with Weekend Non-Camping Tickets.

Once parked, it is not permitted to exit and re-enter with the vehicle with Weekend Camping Tickets at any time.

Presumably that's mainly due to the fact that the site is only about 4 fields away from the coast, and they want to avoid people traipsing across those fields to go to the beach? Especially as some of them are used for army training as part of the local base.

I'd love a day to shape up like this: 

Lcd Soundsystem to headline main. 

Soulwax to play elsewhere 

Despacio soundsystem late night set 

2ManyDjs to play the festival too. 

 :lol::lol:

 

 

 

You're a man after my own heart.

alright final predictions before A-day?

The longer I look at it the more I like the sound of that RHCP potential. In Europe all of July then has a big gap until the 20th Sep when they are in Ireland.

Something like: Justice, LCD, The XX, RHCP

But maybe that seems way too strong. I'm now thinking they will only have 1 of LCD or the XX

The more I think about it, I'm now hoping Morrissey makes an appearance. 

De La Soul, Justice, Morrissey, The xx,

Is it normal to reduce ticket prices a day before an announcement? Also, they are refunding the difference for tickets already bought, and offering Isle of Wighters a deal next week.

Good thing for the punters, however, I think Bestival has taken a huge dent in faithful followers.

It's not completely unheard of, plus it's only for 48 hours. I think it's a good move - rewarding those faithful followers who bought a ticket and £150 is good value to lure others in as well.

Can't see the Chili Peppers being at Bestival at all. Completely different crowd.

Said earlier in the thread that my guess would be 

Suede - LCD - Macca - The XX 

Macca would be a pretty big outside bet but they've had Elton before so it's not out of the question. With what RDB has said taken into account I'd be putting ATCQ in with a shout and even someone like Lauryn Hill maybe as a co-headliner.  

Could be anyone tbh. I can see a UK exclusive for LCD happening though.

On paper, Seeing "Space Cowboy" and "Virtual insanity" live, whilst having a few drinks, has the potential  to be the highlight of my year.

Already going to be experiencing this at boardmasters this year. Can't wait!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
