Nope.

I notice that Fever Ray is missing from this line up, will they be a later addition I wonder.

She's an exclusive at Field Day so she won't be at Bestival it seems.

Irish festival on the same weekend as Bestival.

Looks like RDB has already taken a lot of that. Can't see him missing out on the NPG.

Definitely strengthen's @the wonderwhy's prediction of Underworld as well.

[PorkSoda]

Are we expecting many more acts to be added other than the headliner?

Would definitely settle for Underworld as the last headliner.

Yeah definitely. Think we're probably waiting on an 'after dark' act or two for The Box. Mogwai would probably be a good shout for that

If Invaders of the Future Stage is go this year then that’s still to be announced.

Well, he's booked the NPG for both Common People festivals. It'd definitely be nice to see them at Bestival though.

Not so sure. There are already more acts announced for that stage than played it last year from what I can see. Defo cant see anyone reasonably big being announced.

Underworld only did it three years ago. And it wasn't exactly rammed either.

Aye, but that doesn't really seem to mean much anymore. Looking at the last few festivals how many acts at the top of the bill have been there in recent years.

They've also released a very good album since headlining the Big Top.

[deadpheasant]

Possibly Underworld but I doubt it personally.

Still think Run DMC is the most likely so far.

[Callum_96]

Been told its not Underworld and that its pretty underwhelming but I couldn't get a name out of him.

Interesing! Well let's hope "One Man's Average Is Another Man's Genius"? 

 

[Gucci Piggy]

Recks it'll be MGMT.

[deadpheasant]

I was so sure on Run DMC but apparently it's an exclusive. Interesting to see who it turns out to be.

Think you're right. They fit the clues, they're about the right size & they haven't announced anything at all in the UK yet; so I would assume an exclusive booking.

Wouldn't have been my first choice but much better than Run DMC. 

[Homer]

Underwhelming would fit perfectly with this year's theme.

[Homer]

(Makes note to start shit Underworld tribute act called Underwhelming.)

[Zacko]

MGMT would be absolutely underwhelming, so it's almost definitely them - aren't they complete dump live as well?

Never gonna happen, but Sade would have been a perfect third headliner.
