More news in from Bestival HQ. This one we’re very excited about (particularly given my teenage crush on Bernard Sumner). In their own words. Ed
One of the UK’s most enduring bands, we are truly delighted that our Saturday night headliner will be New Order. Since the band’s reformation in August last year (with Gillian Gilbert back among their ranks), interest in the band has been at fever pitch so it’s an absolute coup that they’re coming to Robin Hill to play a headline set at Bestival!
With an armoury of anthems stretching back three decades, New Order live is an essential experience and one that we can’t wait to share with you all!
And there’s more
Not only have we got such a glorious headliner for you, but we also have live appearances from Friendly Fires who will be unleashing their trademark live spectacular in their own inimitably vibrant and widescreen way, psychedelic electro-rockers Death in Vegas, super-hot eclectic art-pop quartet Django Django, the brooding and brilliant Daughter and the anthemic indie-dance of Zulu Winter.
We’re extremely excited to be welcoming superfly LA beats stable Brainfeeder who will be presenting leftfield loops from Thundercat, The Gaslamp Killer, Teebs, Lapalux, Jeremiah Jae and DJ Kutmah.
More DJs
Plus we’ve got plenty more DJs to keep your feet moving long into the night, including a sweet shop smash and grab with Doctor P, breakdown madness from Pearson Sound, Israeli Dubstepper Borgore and one-man orchestra Flux Pavilion.
Plus there will be stark techno from Max Cooper, bass chaos from Gemini, organic electro from Pangaea, soulful sinewave action from Pariah, woofer-worrying mayhem from Trolley Snatcha, drum magic from Blawan and the twin bliss of Warm & Electric Minds.
