The band New Order will release a charity album, a live recording of their amazing set at Bestival 2012, in aid of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust in July.
“Live at Bestival 2012”, a charity CD to support the Isle Of Wight Youth Trust, will be available on CD and digital download from Monday 8th July (on Sunday Best Recordings). Check out www.sundaybest.net for full retail outlet info.
To quote New Order frontman Bernard Sumner, on stage at Bestival and speaking to an ecstatic 50,000 strong crowd, “Thank you so much, you’ve been a fantastic audience. Hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have. What a great festival, it’s the BEST festival!”
Rob da Bank, founder of Bestival says: “As part of our Live From Bestival series we needed to choose an act from 2012 that nailed it for not only us at Bestival HQ and the crowd, but who would also come across as perfectly on a CD. New Order fit that bill and then some… I was lucky enough to be side of stage for the start of the gig, in the middle of a pogoing crowd for much of the set and then back onstage for the finale. The whole band looked like they were loving it and the crowd was vintage Bestival – appreciative, raucous and dancing like maniacs! Thanks so much to New Order for supporting our charitable cause as sales from this recording will really help young people on the Isle Of Wight.”

All profits from the sale of this album will go to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust (Reg Charity No: 1087163). The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is a charitable, independent and professional organisation offering counseling, advice, information and support services to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight (the home of Bestival) and, in some cases, their parents or carers. The Youth Trust has been working on the Isle of Wight for 29 years and has made a positive input to the wellbeing of people locally. www.iowyouthtrust.co.uk
Eileen Monks, Director of The Isle of Wight Youth Trust, says: “What wonderful news that New Order should choose us, an Island charity of 29 years, to benefit in this way. This came completely out of the blue and at a time when it is becoming extra hard to raise funds to support our work with children and young people on the Island, further cementing our association with young people in their many interests and aspects of their lives. We would like to thank Rob da Bank for his continuing support.”
The Friday night headliner for Bestival 2013 is set to be announced on Wednesday at 19:00.
