Friendly Fires

[Joe-]

Well this is all guesswork obviously, but I think the 2 pairs of headliners/subs on the Sunday night will go:

Sigur Rós - main stage, 19:00-20:30

Arcade Fire - main stage, 21:00-22:30

Friendly Fires - big top, 23:15-00:15

Orbital - big top, 00:45-02:15

ha Joe, i love your optimism. that would be an incredible run of bands to finish the festival on, and just as long as the Sunday headliner is a good'un it still will be

I don't think I love my optimism, leaves me disappointed

Is this based on last year's times?

Okay, looks like those times are all going to be askew. Rob's confirmed that Stevie Wonder's playing from 10pm-midnight, which is a much later close than usual for the main stage on a Sunday. I don't know if this means that all the stages are going on later, or what, but I'd be surprised if he put anyone as big as Friendly Fires on at the same time as Stevie Wonder.

[Joe-]

Friendly Fires will probably start around when Stevie Wonder finishes.

Then Orbital 2ish, if it's like last year.

[LondonTom]

Surely he would want a bigger act against Stevie? To take some people away? or is that not how Bestival operates?

I think Spiritualized will be on at the same time, assuming Rob hasn't changed it around. I doubt the crowd would be a massive problem, I rememeber thinking The Cure would be bad, but it was fine.

[LondonTom]

He's said "I don't spend all this money on big names just to have them clash with each other", or words to that effect. Most of the other stages have their headliners on after midnight, so as not to clash with the main stage headliner.

I think Spiritualized will be on at the same time,

Did anyone go to Primal Scream last year? There was a lot of pre-fest panic about the size of the crowd going from The Cure to Primal Scream. I didn't bother in the end and went to Arcadia instead. Am willing to bet that after all the fretting it was fine anyway! Anyone go?

There was a fair bit of time inbetween The Cure Finishing and Primal Scream starting which helped. Tent was packed but you could get a decent view from the fringes.
