Bestival 2012

[Shaun Child]

Hey Dizzy Rum, we pre-booked last year, it doesn't really make a different to queueing times, we still queued for a good 3-4 hours at least! Best advice, get the camping chair out.

I would have thought for anyone booking on the day it would have been even longer! I'm gonna book my tickets soon as there usually seems to be a hike in prices April onwards.

[DizzyRum]

Thanks Shaun, that is what I thought! Although I wondered whether it would be quieter on the Friday afternoon?

Yeah Kaos is right, it'll be packed on Thursday trying to get over but there's loads on to do on Thursday night too. Think we got there around 4-5pm last year and had to go ages to look for a camping spot.

[Declan]

Camo & Crooked are today's announcement.

Thanks, that's good news, I can't get down until the Friday because of work, last thing I want is to be stuck at the ferry terminal for hours!

Have got some friends pitching a tent before I arrive, so that's not a problem.

Mosca added

[Zacko]

Brilliant additions so far, would happily watch any of them (especially First Aid Kit and Mosca)

It'd be great if the headliners were completely unexpected.

[Homer]

The Facebook page has the announcements too.

[Bisque]

Camo & Krooked are incredible!

I'd expect a few more Hospital DJs to be there too.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Jinja Safari?

...the fuck?

[gooner1990]

Will there be an annoucment of lots of bands in one day or will it be trickled out for the entire line up?

[dacbo]

RDB says on the official forum that there's a big (read multiple band) announcement this Wednesday and that the first Headliner will be announced the Wednesday after.

They are doing the "trickle" announcement to give a bit of spotlight to some of the smaller acts playing apparently.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Out of interest, are they going to keep announcing smaller bands until next wednesday? (In addition to the bigger ones we get this wednesday)

Big announcement tomorrow

[Dave The Hedgehog]

If Twitter has a 'very update' option on my phone, I'll make sure to turn it on tomorrow.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

If tomorrow is the big announcement, any of these and I'll be happy: Black Keys, Justice, Band of Skulls, Queens of the Stone Age, Pixies, Exit Calm, Twisted Wheel, Beardyman, Eric Prydz, 2ManyDJs, Chase & Status, The Horrors, Maya Jane Coles, Magnetic Man, DJ Yoda.

And a couple hail Mary's: Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers

It'll be my first Bestival so I don't really know what to expect but if you guys say it's awesome, that's good enough for me!
