I'd see that as a brilliant opportunity to chill out around the lesser stages. It's where the fun is anyway. Definitely not a line-up which lessens my regret about being to lazy to get a ticket again.

If I could be arsed to do anything that involved leaving Swindon for more than a few hours the line up wouldnt bother me at all.

I think it is a bit of a mehhh line up in general. Plenty of bands that I like but nobody who really strikes me as being a reason to spend a weekend in a tent!! I'm sure it'd be good fun anyway though!

Whenever I've been,  I just watch the fringe stuff.....there is plenty in there....I'd love to see Jimmy Cliff and Candi Staton.    Gilbert O'Sullivan  :shock:

   I'll have to make do with the the Beeb's web  coverage, which is decent.

I like the lineup. Enough to see, and leaves plenty of time to take in the atmosphere (cider), maybe some cabaret, and a film at the open air cinema...

There is far too much emphasis on the skinny jeans brigade that habitually get bummed by NME though. A lot of these bands are utter shite. Like The Wombats and The Courteeners.

And the Ting Tings. And Joe Lean. And Gossip. And MGMT.

Nice enough and plenty to keep me occupied and it looks like they’ve spread some of the acts across the stages this year, which is no bad thing as last year the area around the old Pyramid was just pandemonium between acts and often meant by the time you got to the next stage you’ve missed half of the act.

I'd like to catch the Fun Loving Criminals not just for the classics but the later chilled out stuff.

Ben Folds, the Verve, Fratellis and Rev and the makers would be my top four.

TV best show them.

the bestival lineup wipes the floor with glastonbury.

i was too slow and missed out on bestival.

if i were going to glasto i'd be very disappointed at the lack of variety - its very mainstream and there isn't even much alternative dance/ hip hop which they're normally very good at.

smacks of a V-style load of commercial bollocks, rather than sticking to its roots of being a fesitval and one which showcases a variety of acts. poor.

If you're going (which I'm not), check out Seasick Steve...but don't talk during his set, he gets very annoyed!

Has this sold out yet?

I am tempted to get a ticket now and join up with some folk.

Black Mountain, the Black Keys, The National, Caribou... these are my kind of people.
