Bestival 2012 Headliners

[GuitarManDan15]

Just a side note, josh homme doesnt play with EODM live, not sure if he has in over 10 years actually.

As much i would love QOTSA, he wont be at R+L with EODM, i wouldnt have thought, doesnt really do anything to their chances though, think they are pretty unlikely

[LondonTom]

I'd be really disappointed if it was Jack White, I love White Stripes, his solo stuff just seems a bit too small. It's a bit like Noel Gallagher or Beady Eye headlining last year, it just isn't right, has he even released anything yet?

His releasing the album soon....if he was headlining we would definatly get some white lies stuff (I'd hope), maybe some racounters and dead weather to It'd be totally amazing and big enough

My thinkimg is that the headliners will be out of these five

1. Mumford and Sons

2. Portishead

3. Pulp

4. Bloc Party

5. Florence and the Machine

[Homer]

Jesus. that's a depressing list!

[Aphex's twin]

Portishead are the only ones on that list that would be of any interest to me.

[zahidf]

Suede have just announced a few european festival dates: could they be a contender?...

[rexclark]

I'm love for it to be Suede and I'm sure they could pull it off. Sadly I very much doubt it is them though.

Nick Cave?

[jump]

I was thinking Primus as well. Eclectic for sure but I think a lot of people would welcome them to Bestival - right sort of festival for a band as, for the most part, 'uncategorisable' as them.

[LondonTom]

Really?

I'd be expecting White Stripes stuff personally

[Vanderlyle]

Nick Cave?

[paulomas]

couldnt have new order and suede, one golden oldie is enough

[coma girl]

would probably be more likely to see Brett Anderson do a solo performance in the Big Top

[LondonTom]

When R+L lineup was announced on Radio 1 Annie Mac if i remember rightly announced

"Eagles Of Death Metal.... along with Josh Homme".

So wouldn't put it past him being there. Considering Grohl there aswell all friends etc.

Didn't she also claim the cure reunited or something to?

[hawkzred]

I think it will be easier to guess who will headline Friday night, reckon Rob has got someone completely unexpected for Sunday and someone he has been trying to pin down for a while.

[mrtourette]

As you've seen from this thread though, most people think Homme's the permanent drummer and he's not, just because she's a DJ doesn't mean she's got any special knowledge about whether he'll be there. Probably, that is.

[hawkzred]

Ah, so the third booked headliner rather than the third headliner!? Got ya.
