BESTIVAL HQ is abuzz with excitement as the definitive festival of the year, set in the leafy surrounds of Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle ofWight, draws tantalisingly close.
Tickets are flying out the door for our 2012 Wildlife spectacular – if you haven’t grabbed yours yet, dust of your giant bear jumpsuit and don’t delay, the best party of the summer is on the horizon, don’t miss out!
With an already bountiful line-up that includes headline sets from Stevie Wonder, Florence + The Machine and New Order, exclusive performances from The xx and Sigur Rós and a cavalcade of mouth-watering sets from the likes of Friendly Fires, Soulwax, Annie Mac Presents, Skream & Benga and many, many more, we have got a wealth of ace new live acts and DJs to announce, with full line-ups for Rodigan’s Ram Jam and Jaguar Skills and his Amazing Friends and even a rare appearance from one of the world’s most controversial thinkers!
We’re very excited indeed to announce that recent UK singles chart toppers Rudimental will be making their Bestival debut this September. Hailing from London’s east end, the four-piece are going to be smashing out the certified drum and bass bangers for the mainstage crowd, including ‘Feel The Love’ which has propelled them into the heart of the big league. Prepare to bounce when the beats drops.
Fresh from her recent trip to Los Angeles, where she’s been writing and recording songs for her forthcoming third album, Kate Nash who has caused a stir with her latest offering, ‘Underestimate The Girl’, a no-holds-barred dive into punk spirit will also be making her way across the Solent to join us once again.
We’re ecstatic to be able to unveil the full line-up for Jaguar Skills & His Amazing Friends, as he takes over Bollywood on Sunday night with glitchy electro dubstep from Zomboy, part rap, part punk, part rave-up rawness from Murkage, who will be playing live, bass heavy brilliance from three times DMC champion DJ Cable and electro and house bangers aplenty from DJ@War.
Finally, we’re very pleased indeed to be able to announce that controversial author and public speaker, David Icke will be conducting one of his world-famous talks in the Ambient Forest. Notorious for his contentious views and conspiracy theories, his vast array of hypothesis and philosophies aren’t always as outlandish as you might think and we heartily recommend keeping an open mind and checking out what he’s got to say.
Tickets are selling like hotcakes, so if you want to guarantee yourself a slice of the greatest show on earth you need to get your skates on!
