This in from Bestival HQ, in their own words. Ed
It’s a scorcher out there and in keeping with the glorious great British summer, we’ve got red hot news of some ace new acts joining our incredible 10th birthday spectacular line-up this coming September 5th-8th, with an array of foot-stomping live action and dancefloor spanking DJs set to join Elton John, Snoop Dogg, Fatboy Slim, Franz Ferdinand, The Flaming Lips, Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Julio Bashmore and more on the decks of HMS Bestival.
Plus we’re unveiling plenty of Thursday night shenanigans including our Big Top and Replay With Rob da Bank line-ups and there’s ticket, travel and premium camping news galore!
Rob da Bank says,
“The sun is out, the sky is blue and we’ve got a load more acts for you! Bestival never stops booking live bands and DJs for your pleasure and this year’s no different – from John Newman’s soul swing to Simian Mobile Disco’s intelligent rave and, if you haven’t seen Pretty Lights’ electronic workout, prepare to be blown away. Besti regulars Kitty, Daisy & Lewis, Dub Pistols and Mr Pete Tong plus a load of first-timers are also queuing up to pop their Bestival cherry. Not long now people!”
