Another newly confirmed act for this year’s Bestival is none other than that lovable Bristolian, Tricky.
He’s produced some trailblazing work over the years.
Rumoured to be working with Massive Attack again (who played Bestival last year) on a new project, we could be in for a glimpse of something pretty bonkers on the Island this September.
Chic featuring Nile Rodgers are an act that Bryan Ferry himself is looking forward to seeing. They put on an amazing show at Camp Bestival last year and will be crossing the Solent later in the year to repeat their performance. The extent of Mr Rodgers’ catalogue is awe-inspiring.
Loads more confirmed bands – here’s the list of new additions:
The Temper Trap / Sub Focus (live) / Cornershop / Alex Metric (live) / The Jim Jones Revue / Everything Everything / Memory Tapes / Ou Est Le Swimming Pool? / Erland and the Carnival / Example / Gaggle / Deer Tick / Sparrow and the Workshop / Summercamp / Crystal Fighters / Egyptian Hip Hop / Phosphorescent / Portico Quartet / Race Horses / Neon Indian / North Atlantic Oscillation / Mademoiselle Caro & Franck Garcia / Jamie Woon / The Bikini Beach Band
