Spinning the vinyl to win over the judges will be Jordan Peak (pictured), Mistubishop and Duvstar and DJ Steel.
The band who wins the heart of the judges will open the Bestival on Friday 5th September on the main stage and the DJ will do their magic in one of the DJ tents to a crowd of willing recipients at some point over the weekend.
The live battle commences next Wednesday evening at Ryde Theatre from 7pm and it won’t cost you a penny to get in.
