mjsell Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) RHCP wouldnt be completely out of the question. Would be a big statement as well. EOTR just announced a few names I'd love to see. Hopefully a few would pop up at Bestival seeing as it the weekend before Edited February 8, 2017 by mjsell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteddyRyan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Look at the last paragraph of the e-mail: Keep an eye out for our first line-up announcement any moment, including all four of our incredible headliners! See you in September and remember: Increase the Peace.” I would say today, any moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ticketline email says 7.30am Thursday doesnt it? Also interesting changes to reentry/pass outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteddyRyan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 We must have got different e-mails from ticketline then? I see now on the FB page that they are indeed being announced Thursday 7:30am. Their definition of 'any moment' is different from mine. Back to more waiting then I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Bit early. Could have given the poor tech guy a lie in and announced at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantkatestacks Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as some of them are used for army training as part of the local base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus-Freak Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) 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.

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawky Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Least we're not getting joint headliners if it says "all 4 will be announced" If we stray away from headliners, I reckon Cypress Hill have a good chance of being announced. They're always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
