Bestival

As ever, Bestival organisers Josie and Rob Da Bank have booked in and announced a whopping lineup of mammoth acts for this year’s festival. Taking place on the 6/7/8/9th September 2012, Bestival sets its sights on going even bigger and better than previous years, a tough aim given the festival’s reputable history!

The stand out bands on the bill range from Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós and punk rock band New Order to French electro-duo Justice and hip hop trio De La Soul. Joining them are a shed load of acts that span every genre imaginable with a generous dose of DJ’s to add to the mix. Everyone from 2ManyDJ’s and Nero to Soulwax, Annie Mac, David Rodigan and Scratch Perverts will be making there way over to the Isle of Wight for the festival this September.

There’s a decidedly nostalgic feel to the lineup too as Gary Numan, Sister Sledge and Adam Ant (and his oddly named band) will take to one of Bestival’s many stages this year. Not to mention Chas and Dave!

Other highlights of the lineup announced to-date include LTJ Bukem, Claude Vonstroke, DJ Yoda, Maya Jane Coles, Scuba, Plastician, Giles Smith and James Priestly from SecretSundaze and a Four Tet/Caribou back-to-back set. Bestival 2012 sounds unmissable already.
