Gaslight anthem are on hiatus I believe but wouldn't be surprised to see Brian fallon there in some way! Wishful thinking but I'd love to see Johnny marr pop up, same with alvvays

People will always have aslight moan about prices as they are only there to see a few acts, but the great thing with festivals is that you explore and hear and see bands you've never heard of that become your faves, it's all about the adventure.

I've noticed RDB tweeting about Divine Comedy a couple of times this week - maybe they will appear on the line up?? Also would love to see London Grammar on there... they are doing the rounds...

 

Yeah I can see London Grammar headlining the 2nd stage at the same time as PSB or ATCQ.

The 2nd stage headliner doesn't start until after the main stage has finished.

Aren't they making the second stage/ tent smaller for this years fest. I wouldnt expect the format to be staying exactly the same if that is the case. There were already dangerously busy levels for some of those tent headliners in previous years - Crystal fighters and Katy B last year was rammed (don't know if they were 'headliners' though).

I would expect more of the traditional headliners up against one another if they have downsized the tent.

I read somewhere on Facebook ((I think)) that the format for the box will be the same as the big top stage and be closing late with late headliners

London Grammar were incredible as the sun set on the main stage a few years back.

Seriously, what are Bestival spending their money on?

Looking at recent festival announcements, Bestival is surely one of the worst line ups on the circuit.

And don't get me wrong, headliners aren't everything. But overall line up is. 

Id bet they won't sell 20,000 tix

Just bought tickets for this tiny festival in Stockport £55 for the whole weekend...

Probably best you just move on now, you got some money back from last year, best off concentrating on another festival you are going to enjoy rather than dwelling on the past.

Any lineup with Crazy P on it is winning this year. I couldnt recommend them highly enough for when you go if you like a dance. Hoping they will be at whatever festival I end up going to.

I went to see the xx in Cardiff last night on the last leg of their European tour and they were incredible. Sounded great, well thought out setlist and amazing stage set up and light show. Will be interesting to see what they bring to Bestival but we should be in for a treat! 

Any ideas on the next line up announcement? It's all gone a bit quiet

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
