Beck will headline the Big Top on Thursday 4th September.
Castaway in Chief Rob da Bank says:
“Ahoy there shipmates and welcome to my desert island! Yes folks, HMS Bestival has set sail once more and we have finally landed back on the Isle of Wight for our 11th instalment – a Desert Island Disco. Foals were voted best live act of last year and I’m delighted they’ll be headlining the Saturday night – there’s no better indie guitar band in the UK right now. Also donning a grass skirt and mirrorball is a total icon of popular music and one of my favourite songwriters, Beck, plus disco darlings Disclosure, Diplo and his Major Lazer crew and all the hottest new bands from London Grammarto Clean Bandit. So get out of your deckchair and get ready to disco, my friends!”
