WITH Bestival’s line up becoming more and more alluring by the day, there is no reason you should end your summer without it.
We’re deep in the heart of festival season and as Bestival’s Desert Island Disco comes into sight, more and more is being added to make the festival of the summer irresistible!
From September 4th to 7th, incredible acts will spread across more than 20 stages in 10 fields of wonderment, joining the mega soundsystems, non-stop parties and joyous, 24-hour escapism – not just a dreamy oasis.
The BBC Introducing stage will be returning to Bestival to host a stage at their Desert Island Disco bonanza for the first time since 2007. The addition of the BBC Introducing Stage means that you’re guaranteed to discover your favourite new act at Bestival.
Curator, Rob da Bank says: “Breaking new bands and DJs is what we do at Bestival. That’s why I’m so pleased BBC Introducing are coming back with an epic selection of up-and-coming talent to tickle our ears. Roll on September!â€
This year, BBC Radio 6 Music hosts Bestival’s Big Top which will feature artists including Beck, Jenny Lewis, Caribou and Basement Jaxx. And on the Friday (7-10pm) Tom Ravenscroft will be broadcasting his show from our festival site on the Isle of Wight.
