Following the news of the first wave of mind-blowing acts set to play Bestival 2016, organisers have announced even more acts – including a name you wouldn’t expect to see on a festival line-up.
Riding across the sonic spectrum with wild abandon, Danny L Harle’s future-perfect salmagundi of pitched vocals, baroque melodies, bubble gum bass and euphoric stabs will be taking the crowd just that bit higher when he heads to Robin Hill this September.
TV & Radio presenter, and probably the UK’s most famous former child, Aled Jones, will be dropping the knowledge on stage with Bestival’s very own Rob da Bank. Renowned for his version of Walking in the Air, the astonishing quality of Aled’s treble voice brought him worldwide acclaim before he moved into a successful full time presenting and singing career.
Classic FM’s Aled Jones’ secret encyclopaedic knowledge of drum n bass, however, is what brings him to Bestival. Bestival revellers can expect to see an all-cannons firing History of Jungle & Drum n Bass MC set, with Aled blazing the mic as Da Bank reloads the classic drum n bass big guns on the old ones and twos.
Rob da Bank says:
“I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that the future is gonna be a little bit unusual and, what do you know, I was right! Danny L Harle is one of the most out-there producers around, and, you know it could only happen at Bestival when I say, I’m teaming up with well-known drum n bass don, Aled Jones, for a jungle tear up. Standard”.
Commenting on his Bestival appearance, Aled Jones said:
“I’m not sure who’s more excited about coming to Bestival – me or the family! What an honour to be on the same stage with Rob da Bank at his very own festival. Bring it on!”
