Bestival 2012

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

It was ruined for me when I saw Chas & Dave so high on the bill.

I see Stevie Wonder has been added to the bill... just on the verge of buying tickets now.

I really hope Orbital play the main stage and not the Dance Tent. It gets far too busy in there, I had to make do with standing outside of the tent to see Primal Scream last year...same for DJ Shadow too.

I suppose Justice will be at the Big Top too do you think vvt23?

Thanks for that info.
They're doing the same spot DJ Shadow did last year... its going to be rammed in there! I could just about hear DJ Shadow last year, let alone get anywhere near the entrance to the tent.

hey mems, we've decided not to go. We're doing benicassim instead of glasto this year. Still hoping the boyz get added to that lineup. Sounds great - doors open at 19:30 and the last act finished at around 04:00ish I think. We have booked a villa too so it will be proper comfy and clean also.

Thats a shame Dave, well not for you as Benicassim sounds awesome, funnily enough my mate who I went to Maida Vale with the other week is going to that.

Its on for 4 days? Are you implying that the music finishes at 4am every night?

Still up for Bestival, although disappointed that most of the acts I want to see will be in a tent thats too small :?
