line-up

[funkychick2007]

First time at beautiful days! Great line up and admiration for the strength of the levellers for going ahead in whats been an emotional beginning to the year! Im sure they will be supported by one and all!

If it was Nick Cave I would be over the moon (twice). I can't help but think he is probably a bit big for BDs though. Although saying that the Manics are still selling out stadiums so who knows?

Here's hoping

[Neville Street]

Are Travis a possibility? Their own tour to sell, will have a show ready to roll....

[funkychick2007]

Travis would be great! Watched them at glastonbury in the mud in the rain! Was one of those moments!

Do we get a lineup split before the festival? I'd like to see who's on when.

Yup, but usually only a couple of weeks beforehand.

I bet it will be Public Image Ltd because they are touring in June. A disappointing booking because they headlined a few years ago.

Hope not, but I'm flummoxed who it might be

[Michaels denim shorts]

Much the same here, hoping it’s not PIL but it probably will be 

BDs tend to have frequent repeat acts 

[Nobody Interesting]

It will not be PiL.

 

It just will not.

[alakurt]

Another guess for the Friday headliner is Travis ... but I'd (like to) think Robert Plant or the Charlatans are more likely.

[Nobody Interesting]

Can't see it being Robert Plant especially as he was announced for another festival yesterday so can't see a reason why he would not be announced for this one.

A band with a tour just announced, a tour that kicks off in the USA at the end of June and comes to the UK in November might be a possible to allow tickets to sell.

That is just a dream though as I would love to see Culture Club at a festival.

location and date of gigs would be the reasons.

London is a long way from Devon, and a date in October doesn't much interfere with festival dates (particularly as BD wouldn't much be selling itself on Percy - it's likely to be sold out or nearly sold out by the time the final headliner is announced).

It might not be Percy (I'm only guessing), but the reasoning behind it still stands up just as good as it did despite that announcement yesterday.

[MistressAdeline]

Good shout eFestivals!

The Libertines would also be a good headliner - maybe a bit too big.

Given that many bands are ageing, some really big bands seem happy to play festivals these days. Can only be a good thing for the festival punter.

Hey - good call - Nick Cave or Bjork? I'm sure the Levs have been trying to get Nick Cave for a while now. However Robert Plant with Seth Lakeman in the band also makes sense - especially with the Bath festival.

Bjork apparently charges shit loads for her sets so I doubt it's her.

 

Kinda disappointed with the line up this year. There are a few things I'm excited for still.

[Michaels denim shorts]

what about Roger Daltrey? Just a thought 

[justanotheronethen]

I reckon either The Specials, Elbow or Simple Minds

[mr.chris]

Would be happy with a lot of these guesses, though I've seen the Libertines at a festival and don't think they pulled it off at scale - great in smaller venues.

I'll throw in a guess - Fleet Foxes? Good festival band, playing Green Man the night after...

[Neville Street]

Proclaimers? Just seen the Towersey line up

[Nobody Interesting]

Any chance it could be Plan B?

Probably no chance but he is playing Chelmsford the day after.

[WS_Jack_III]

I've been saying Orbital should do it for years. Doubt it's them though.

[Quark]

Tix booked for my first BDs

[Ravey Davey Gravy]

Right. It's now June. Who's the Friday Headliner????
