cheers man! that Friday Big Top is looking awfully good - although so is the Friday Main Stage *eek*

[Homer]

Friday in Temple Island is the old skool rave takeover with Billy Daniel Bunter, Slipmatt, Altern-8, Liquid, Baby D, etc.

 

That sounds like it'll run and run, so I'll probably try and alternate between that and Tame Impala (might give Duran Duran a go too).

Here's the main stage split:

Contradicts the earlier tweet though, as this places Young Fathers on the main stage, not the Big Top.

The tweet came after so guess its changed 

[FloorFiller]

god i hope none of Tame Impala, FKA twigs, Young Fathers or Action Bronson clash with Flying Lotus (who being on the main stage i'm finding rather weird - hope it's a proper set, cube and all, rather than just an in between act DJ)

[Homer]

Flying Lotus is listed under live acts (as opposed to DJs):

Tame Impala will be on straight after Duran Duran (that's how the Big Top headliners work), so I guess you can work back from there.

chances are i'm gonna miss at least one of those acts in favour of FlyLo then which is a shame as they're all some of my most looked forward to acts, and all seem to be on the one day. was hoping to see Duran Duran as well :/ bah

[the wonderwhy]

Friday definitely looking like the best day to me. Chance of Drenge, Young Fathers, Fly Lo, Duran Duran and Tame Impala is cool. 

[Homer]

Saturday for me and the run of: Jungle (don't care for but supposed to be v good live) - Special guests - Annie Mac - Chemical Brothers - Future Islands (see Jungle).

[the wonderwhy]

Sleaford Mods are Big Top on Saturday, I've just spotted RDB tweeted 

[Staff_Sav]

Was excited to see future islands at glasto and they didn't disappoint. Will probably try and catch them again and get right in the mixer to really get involved with it this time.

missed them at Glastonbury due to my back giving in so seriously hoping they don't clash with anybody at Bestival (although it'd take somebody huge for me to miss em again)

Future Islands gets talked about lots on here, might have to see what the fuss is about.

it all boils down to this really:

 

 

that single handily (pretty much) made them the name that they are now. i like em on record, but apparently live they're another beast entirely. a must see for me

[Bisque]

Apart from The Libertines stepping in for the Flo bump, this has to be this years best kept festival secret as to who the special guest might be.

i'm not expecting anything spectacular at all. in fact i'm fully expecting it to be a Rudimental live set which would be awful (for me). anybody else walking out on that stage would be a big surprise

Sorry I missed this. Was expecting something totally different. It's less electronic & more grown up than I had in mind.

Aye, I'll be there mingling around the middle depending on how busy it is. If it happens to be something I like I'll stick around & get a few drinks. If it's a big band there'll be no chance of getting up close & if it's plop I've still got a drink I can finish off outside the Bollywood tent, usually a half decent DJ on in there by that time.

[Bisque]

This will be great at night, in the Big Top, lasers, euphoric substances & dancing.

[Homer]

I'm going to probably try Future Islands as their live rep is amazing. But I've tried listening to them on 'record' and I really don't get it, and I find his voice very grating!

[the wonderwhy]

Dinosaur Pile Up in the Big Top on Saturday. Getting a good day together there too 

[Bisque]

Could special guests be Bloc Party? Or is it special guest now?

[Staff_Sav]

That would be immense

[Bisque]

This band at Bestival would work very well & a not out of the question booking.
