bella is always close to my heart, and when i try to predict i think about bands that fit and are er affordable. My guess is that snow patrol might just might fit into the category and i hope they could see it as an opportunity to right some wrongs after t in the park last year. I have a feeling it will be travis this year as they really fit the bella philosophy, if not i guess maybe the levellers.

As for the friday night there really has been a number of howlers (particularly echo and magic numbers) i would really like to see scouting for girls back again or maybe the pidgeon detectives or even the wombats??

you never know

Im pretty sure I'll be there with the gf like I like the idea of snow patrol and travis, but if they are having big acts I feel they should be on the main stage after the Kate Nash incedent last year looked like there was plenty of space inside although I applaud the security for stopping people in as I did spy some people with babys on their chest would of hated to hear of anything bad happening just wish I could of got in to see her

think travis and snow patrol are definate possibilities, bands like scouting for girls, wombats etc i can see headlining one of the tents or in the afternoon on the main stage, but not headlining it, after them having the likes of james and ehco and the bunnymen headlining i could see an ocean colour scene greatest hits set fitting in there nicely (but i doubt it if they are doing the live at loch lomond festival), or bands like franz ferdinand, the feeling, keane etc fit in the 'family friendly' headliner bracket with the likes of travis. Also heard feeder and idlewild getting mentioned a while ago. I really don't mind these kinds of headliners at bella, think they suit it, a good singalong way to end the day. And they have always had plenty of new and up-and-coming bands in the mix, they had editors a few years back before they got massive, and over the last couple of years i've seen sets from biffy clyro, the view, tiny dancers, 1990's mumm-ra, dykeenies, pigeons, mystery jets, rumble strips and plenty others for those who prefer their stuff a bit more current.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
