“What can I say? What a day! I see part of my job at Bestival as giving you acts you may never have seen or will get the chance to see again… so, I’m hoping you feel as happy as I do as we announce the legendary Stevie Wonder as Sunday night headliner! A winner of 25 Grammy Awards, the most ever for a solo artist, this man’s music has always been part of the da Bank home listening experience and also a favourite at our Sunday Best and Bestival parties and this is a very rare chance to see a legend in action. See you there!” Rob da Bank

So we’ve got Blue Monday blaring out of the Bestival HQ office speakers as we unveil our iconic Saturday night headliner New Order. It doesn’t get better than that… but it does! True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle, Fine Time, Regret – so many amazing records we grew up listening to and still listen to now and they still sound immense, pioneering, legendary. See you down the front!

In 2010, just after winning the Mercury Prize for their debut album, The xx, played a victory set in our Big Top that has gone down in Bestival lore as one our most beautiful moments ever. So with new material on the horizon we can’t wait to see what ethereal treats they have in store for us!

Icelandic post-rock giants Sigur Rós are also set to make a UK festival exclusive appearance with us. Lead singer Jónsi was behind another of Bestival 2010’s undoubted highlights & we’ve been waiting a long time to be able to announce that the full band, in all its majesty, will be joining us at Bestival.
