3rd Headliner

[Justiceforcedave]

....trying

[Justiceforcedave]

Nah, I got nothing Oh well I'll find out first hand in 10 hours!

[smogo]

I hate it when you do that, Neil....

[seantizz]

can't do, soz - what I know comes from the embargo'd press release.

No, I'm not going to hint, and I'm not going to play the "is it this?" game either.

I am surely reading too much into this post by now thinking it may be The Strokes!!!

it's a pretty standard thing I say (tho perhaps not always in those exact words), because otherwise I get bombarded by people asking "is it this band?", who then convince themselves that it is if I don't respond to them.

I'm simply making clear that I'm not getting into that.

Bonnie Tyler.

I have a dream it there was an advert and it was prince , it definitely isn't haha

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm pretty sure Prince is touring in the US at the moment?

the Bestival Twitter page has described it as: 'The perfect name to celebrate a decade of dancing on the IOW'

ZOMG!!!!!! Da Daft Punk!!!!!!!!!!!

[monkey1989]

spooky if it was because I'm not a fan of his or have been thinking about it being him haha

Hmmm. Bestival is much bigger than when it started ten years ago though & Basement Jaxx are much smaller, I don't see it being them. I guess they could hype it up with the whole 'ten year anniversary' thing, but even then they'd be better suited to headlining the Big Top or Annie Mad Presents.

I hope I don't have to eat humble pie if they're announced later on

I guess it could still be Chase & Status?

[monkey1989]

Underworld ? too small ?

[hawkzred]

Fatboy Slim is playing Exit, which Bestival is twinned with and also headlining Electric Picnic.

Headlined first Bestival back in 2004, my monies on Norman!

(Curious serious question, when you get an embargoed press release fairly early on in the day and say you find out from else where who the headliner is, do you still use it? Or does the embargo completely stop you from revealing who it is?)

it would depend what.

I wouldn't bother for something like this.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Not filling me with confidence there Neil.

I think people are expecting a big name due to the wait, and I think they'll be disappointed. Would love to be wrong.
