Bestival’s own inimitable magical mayhem across 20 stages featuring the best music just keeps growing.
With headline sets from Stevie Wonder and New Order, exclusive performances from The xx and Sigur Rós and hundreds of amazing live bands and DJs and now the masterminds of delight behind the Robin Hill shindig have some ace news of two brilliant new additions to this year’s bill to keep your appetites well and truly whetted.
Rob da Bank says: “With the Friday headliner coming in a few weeks I thought we’d ramp up the excitement a bit more for Besti-goers with the additions of Frank Ocean. Two totally different artists from across the Atlantic, Frank is one of the most requested acts on our messageboards and he’s such an incredible performer – like a young Prince!.”
One of world renowned hip-hop collective OFWGKTA’s major players, at just 24 Frank is already a well established songwriter to the stars including Beyonce and John Legend and can count the likes of Kayne West and Jay Z amongst his collaborators.
Silver medallist in the recent BBC Sound of 2012, the pop-gilded R&B beats of his mixtape ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’ have made him one of the world’s fastest rising stars and with a wealth of new material from his forthcoming debut album in the offing we can’t wait to see him.
And that’s not all, as we have a lovely bit of good news for you! Following her decision to cancel her summer schedule of shows, we can confirm that Azealia Banks will definitely be appearing at Bestival this September, so get ready to dance when she’s vamped up!
We will be announcing our Friday night headliner on Monday 21st May, so keep your eyes peeled for the details and in the meantime make sure you keep on checking in at bestival.net, and our Facebook page and Twitter for all the latest behaviour.
