Maybe not their final show but I'd say IOW is a bloody good bet after the news today, and if it happens, it'll be in many people's minds that R&L is coming next. I don't think Glasto will go back for them. Their headline set in 09 went down as a history set I think and they'll probably view it too soon, Glasto doesn't do repeats. It took 6 years for Muse to go back, 6 years now for Arctics.

[thewayiam]

Coldplay only 3 years and also pulp only 3 years.

Will be whos around at the time, if thry had a choice of blur and say biffy there arguably going to go for blur.

[thetime]

i don't think there is any arguable about it. to get them 1st over the fest they are perfect for if it means dropping a band that aren't selling day ticket's out.

[thewayiam]

I was trying to sit on the fence somewhat...

[Gucci Piggy]

Green Day, Arcade Fire and Blur I'll go for then.

I dont think they'll get Depeche Mode in effectively a sub slot. I don't think they'll get Daft Punk. I did think they'd get Arctic Monkeys and Aerosmith, but Giddings has now ruled out Arctic Monkeys and said they won't book acts with big London shows, and I expect Aerosmith to do one of those.

Despite everything I still think Arcade Fire are doing glasto, therefore i'm gonna say

Rihanna, Green Day, Blur for IOW.

I can't see the headliners being that strong...

I'll go

Depeche Mode, Arcade Fire, Green Day

[foolee]

2 of those are not very mainstream.

[thetime]

They all sell out venues though right? No different to The Stone Roses, The Killers and Bon Jovi

[thewayiam]

I would imagine having depeche mode(theres a clue why they dont plat fests in the uk) and arcade fire is to much of a risk in these hard times for festivals.

Like the cure, would the average depeche fan spend nearly a hundred quid on a day ticket?

Just my opinion though.

[thewayiam]

Yeah I do get what you're saying! I don't know how much a depeche mode ticket would be either...

So it's either Arcade Fire or Depeche Mode, not both?

[the wonderwhy]

It would, Guetta, Green Day and Blur is my opinion. I think as many have said DM are ideal for Bestival and I think they've more chance and he said last year he tried but unfortunately not - Guetta was SR last year, I thought he was going to play to be honest and Blur I did thin if they had new material it'd be R&L stick on but after all this recently I actually think IOW is very likely, not ruling it out but as many have said Arctics, Blur and QOTSA would seems too strong let alone Arctics, Blur and someone even bigger

[thewayiam]

Why mention them? I thought we weren't mentioning them?!?

[Andre91]

like it's stopped anyone else now.

Sarcasm is lost on you, man.

If IOW did have Depeche Mode, Arcade Fire and Blur I'd be tempted, but the undercard at IOW always seems poor to me, so I doubt there'd be enough to convince me. I do, however, think Depeche Mode and Arcade Fire could both headline, especially with the other one being Blur. Are they any less mainstream a pairing than Tom Petty and Pearl Jam?

My ideal situation would be for Bestival to get Arcade Fire, Depeche Mode and Daft Punk. That would be way too strong though, so maybe drop Depeche Mode for a cheap headliner (The National?) as I'm seeing them already this year.

Apologies for the off topic/rubbish that no one cares about.

I'd imagine even as a "small" headliner the national would still be far too small, maybe Florence and the Machine as a smaller headliner?
