Written by Elliott Batte
Rob da Bank and co. have just announced a whole load of new bands and DJs that’ll be joining the festival’s bill this summer.
On course for a truly epic 10th birthday spectacular, the good ship HMS Bestival is abuzz with excitement as a whole new raft of able-bodied shipmates join the ranks of Bestival 2013. Joining an already gargantuan line-up featuring Elton John, Snoop Dogg, MIA, Franz Ferdinand, Wu-Tang Clan, The Flaming Lips, Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox to name but a few, we’ve got the likes of James Blake, Courtney Pine, The 1975, and loads of others.
We’ll also have music across the weekend from reggae kingpin Max Romeo, super-bombastic doo-wop visionary Willy Moon, classical-electronica crossover geniuses Clean Bandit, hotly-tipped electro-pop trio London Grammar, the frankly sublime The Child of Lov, 80s reggae supernova Musical Youth, footwork fanatic Evian Christ, Brooklyn punks Parquet Courts, genre colliding six-piece Molotov Jukebox, alt folkers Moulettes and the jaw-droppingly authentic 'Introducing' recreate 'Discovery' live.
There will also be plenty more live music from Filthy Boy, Wheelchair Sports Camp, Ady Suleiman, Hudson Taylor, Champs,Woodpecker Wooliams, Lloyd Yates, Barbarossa, The Keepsakes, Isaiah Dreads, Parlour Flames, Charley Macaulay and Devilman.
Rob da Bank says: "Bestival is ten years old this year and i always want our festival to stay fresh and new so I'm well pleased with the latest artist additions... Courtney Pine, legendary jazz musician, is going to open the whole birthday spectacular on the Thursday and from that point on we're gonna be treated to a plethora of new bands and talent from new indie upstarts Savages and London Grammar to incredible electronic explorations from Hieroglyphic Being and Evian Christ. Not forgetting returning hero James Blake, who’s part of the fabric of recent Bestivals. Hope you enjoy listening to all this lovely lot!"
