Last two seem a bit big. Have both topped Glastonbury.

I don't know dude,  I'd argue that Florence isn't as big as Tribe Called Quest. I'd say shes on par with the like of the XX. Also feel like they're gonna pull out one big name and in keeping with their history of attracting big US rappers (Outkast, Missy, Nas, Busta, etc) seems a possibility they could get the jigga man.  Hell. Will Smith would be a good Sunday night finish.  If Blackpool could randomly get him for one night I would have thought Bestival could, schedules allowing.

Rob da Bank has liked my tweet about Britney being in the country, if that means anything.

(As opposed to replying with a "no", I mean.)

Plus perhaps their uncertainty about when they're going to announce its because they've had to wait for Brighton Pride to announce and/or sell out first.

Brighton is on a tier system (I sent last year to see the Pet Shops). And surely Britney will sell it out in minutes anyway.

This is the festival that had Sean Paul headline, as a supposed replacement for Prince...

Well, that's based on the assumption that they ever got close with Prince, and given the financial position Bestival found themselves in in 2016, I would say that Sean Paul and Wiz Khalifa joint-headliner was about as much as they could afford, would say if anyone directly replaced Prince it was The Cure.

Oi, Blackout is one of the greatest pop albums ever made, and Circus is bloody good too.

I'm not coming for Britney, I am just saying that she isn't the sort of acts that Bestival should be throwing all of their money at, Britney to a 19 year old is surely nothing more than a novelty act?

No, as you'll see from page 4 of the thread below, I discovered that the Cure were headlining nearly 6 months before Prince died. (And they were announced 3 months before he died, anyway.)

Ah, excellent sleuthing, either way, I still think money spent on Britney would be poorly directed funds. I'm not even going this year, but I really hope they pull out a corking line up to i) quieten down the naysayers and ii) ensure that next year is another year with an interesting line up that I will be ble to drag myself along to.

Looks like the announcement won't be until after the price rise. Someone asked if that's the date the lineup will be revealed, and @Bestival replied "Not quite".

Ah okay. It’s only a tenner or so more isn’t it.

I think I’ll wait before pulling the trigger as Bestival is so hit and miss with line ups. Had a great time last year though so would like to go back.

she's in Germany on the Monday, so i doubt it.

I suppose it depends whether the one day on / one day off schedule currently announced is because it takes 48 hours for the production to move from one venue to the next (except short distances, eg Scarborough to Manchester in 24 hours), or if it's because the off day is being held for an extra show at each venue.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
