big fat MEH


i changed my mind.

i don't want to go anymore.


Does that say Will Young?

And Paul Heaton?

And Alexa Chung DJing?


yes, but it's evened out by

Late Of The Pier
Laura Marling and
Eugene Mcguiness.


Will Young's playing almost all festivals this year.

Glasto, T In The Park, Bestival.

How the hell did THAT happen?


LOTP?

Maths Class?
It Hugs Back?
Slagsmalsklubben?
Mistys?
Santogold?
Roni Size?
Akron/Family?
Chromeo?

I think that looks bloody ace.


Agreed, these all look great

as do Shortwave Set and The Sugarhill Gang.

And Will Young. Imagine how good he'd belt out 'Your Game' live.

Still going to Latitude though.


The undercard (is that the term?)

isn't quite what I'd hoped for.

Anyone up for End of the Road?


its a bit eh

but the original line up of bands makes up for it.

And the actual festival looks fun.


Thats exactly what I was thinking

its cheaper, its not in some backward dump (altho Ive never been) and its not going to have Kate Nash Cunts hanging around having tea parties!


how can one festival

have such a weird mix of dire bands and ace underground acts?


Underworld?! Hell yes!

But yeah, apart from them and Akron/Family the rest of those bands im not too fussed about. But the original line-up installment definitely makes up for it.

Anyone know if thats the full line-up then?


majorly disappointed

but at least I won't now be completely broke.


haha

last year was SO much better than that!!


Amy Winehouse is evidently a lot bigger than I thought she was

it looks overly lame, that line up does.


Um

She had the biggest selling album of 2007.


Jacob Golden?!

This just made my night.
I love you Bestival ticket


...

MY BLOODY VALENTINE

CARL CRAIG
SUGARHILL GANG
APHEX TWIN
LEE SCRATCH PERRY
THE WEDDING PRESENT
AKRON FAMILY
MICAH P HINSON

yesplease.


That sounds like my hit list too

Bestival is all about the party anyway, and it knocks socks off the Glasto bill


Out of the whole list

Theres only one group I would really want to see (The Sugarhill Gang)


IT'S THE BESTIVAL!!

Does anyone even notice who's playing when there's the most random stuff going on all around you (people dressed up as the red jets doing formations, old grandmas cruising around on mopeds, people getting married in an inflatable church, playing giant scrabble and getting told off for being offensive)???

Also...the line up is good anyway..it is random but that's what we like.


Has the fancy dress theme been announced yet?

Me and a group of chums were thinking Clowns... You decide whether you're evil or not.


Alexa Chung?

I've just been stitched on a ticket. Does anyone know if they've all sold out yet? or have any spares??
