Splendid - Bon Iver, PJ Harvey, Marina and The Diamonds ! Woop woop !

Just a shame ticketline sent an email out last night saying what the line up was, as it spolit the fun of the video a little....good work by the Camp Bestival crew for doing the announcement in in unusual way though......

Loads of good new acts added...Florence and The Machine, Laura Marling, Blue Roses etc etc ....

I've got tickets for Glastonbury - and am planning on going with my partner and our 3 year old - but now I'm thinking that Camp Bestival is a safer bet - mainly due to not having to get her out of school - and hassle of getting in and around Glastonbury with a little one.

Any (too unbiased) opinions please.

Thanks for the reply. Can't really do both - too much money. My little one has also started school (they start them early in manchester), so we have to book time off for her if going Glastonbury - this is something the school seems dead against due to crap attendance records with ofsted etc.

Anyway.,.......

still thinking about it. We have until May8th to get a full refund. I love Glastonbury - and there's loads there to keep her happy - but Glastonbury is now really a 5 day festival which we are also thinking may be just a bit too much - just taking her up town for a few hours is hard work!

Also, obviously not as many bands at Camp Bestival - but I like what lineup they have - certainly more preferential to me than the headliners at Glastonbury this year.

Camp Bestival is starting to get close to a sell out apparently
