From BBC News:

"Kraftwerk, Massive Attack, Klaxons and MGMT will headline this year's Bestival.

The Isle of Wight event's line-up, announced on Friday, also includes Fleet Foxes and Seasick Steve.

Friendly Fires, Metronomy, Florence And The Machine and Bat For Lashes are among the newer bands set to perform at Robin Hill Country Park.

This year's festival, to be held on the weekend of 11-13 September, is once again curated by Rob da Bank.

Each Bestival is themed and fans are encouraged to dress up, with last year boasting a marine theme.

The theme this time has been announced as Outer Space."

Good for the Pompey boys.

Wonder if they'll do some indoor gigs around the time?

It did, however, pour down with rain at last year's festival, and everybody was caked in mud...

"Clever" means something different in Canada...

My mate Paul said it was an utterly miserable experience last year.

I'd rather spend taxpayers money on abroad. May be convinced otherwise in the coming days.

hmmm not really sure i can get too excited about seeing kraftwerk with just one original member, gets to feeling like the piss is getting taken out of you a bit.

Trust me, there's a whole music industry out there where bands play gigs with only or even without one orginal member in the line-up (these bands from the 60's and 70's bands who still play all these back to the 70's festivals, MUD!). My dad went to see 10cc the other week, they only have one original member left. :confused2:

This guy from 10cc said the papaer, the crowd doesn't care because they want to hear the hits and couldn't give a toss about who's playing the bass or drums :nono:

Talking about disresepecting ur audience :nono:

Wonder if this will go for NO as well :brow:
