Bestival have been holding off announcing their Sunday night headliner for this year’s Bestival over the past few weeks, but reveal today that it will be none other than those bad boys of punk, The Prodigy.
Rob tells us that The Prodigy have been an important part of his record collection over the years, so securing them to play at Bestival must have been a highlight for his scheduling this year.
Apparently this is the last gig the band are planning for sometime, so catch them while you can.
Also confirmed for this year’s festival are The Wailers. Yes folks, the backing band for the godfather of reggae, Bob Marley, will be celebrating their 40th anniversary as the world’s most recognisable reggae band this year and finishing the summer at Robin Hill.
And there’s more
Joining the lineup are also Wild Beasts, Dub Pistols, I Blame Coco, Gentleman’s Dub Club, The Correspondents, Charli XCX, Lissie, Our Fold, the Isle of Wight’s own Holly Kirby and The Kurves, and Welsh-funkateers Derwyddon Dr Gonzo.
More to follow with a cracking lineup of DJs which we’re far more excited about than the bands.
