Blimey the list goes on and on …. there’s a fair old few from the Wight, including Blank Beats, Cooly Haste, Goodbye Stereo, Hugo Frusslinky, JC & Angelina, The Kurves, Wight Light Orchestra and of course, The Chancers.
Here’s what our Rob had to say about the offering for this year ….
“It’s such a nailbiting experience unleashing our line up to the faithful Besti family but I can honestly say his year’s line up is my favourite so far – underground and experimental business from Aphex Twin to My Bloody Valentine, funky stuff from George Clinton and Jamie Lidell, and now we can add new kids on the block Black Kids, Laura Marling and Santogold, techno legends Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig, Bestival veterans of four years out of five and our musical mascots Hot Chip, The Coral with a special acoustic set and the finest female, nay solo, performer out there Amy Winehouse!
Also we’re ecstatic to announce Underworld are back taking up their rightful position in a Sunday night headline slot. Not to mention an acid brass band, a cockney knees up every night and umm, more toilets!”
