Beck and Foals to headline Bestival 2014
Beck and Foals are set to headline Bestival 2014.
They join previously announced headline act Outkast, who top the bill on the Friday night of the festival.
Beck is set to perform in the Big Top on the Thursday night of the event, while Foals will headline the Main Stage on the Saturday night – Sunday’s headline act is yet to be announced.
Also added to the bill today were Chvrches, London Grammar, Wild Beasts, Clean bandit, Sam Smith, Caribou and Disclosure.
Festival chief Rob da Bank said: “Ahoy there shipmates and welcome to my desert island! Yes folks, HMS Bestival has set sail once more and we have finally landed back on the Isle of Wight for our 11th instalment – a Desert Island Disco.
“Foals were voted best live act of last year and I’m delighted they’ll be headlining the Saturday night – there’s no better indie guitar band in the UK right now.
“Also donning a grass skirt and mirrorball is a total icon of popular music and one of my favourite songwriters, Beck, plus disco darlings Disclosure, Diplo and his Major Lazer crew and all the hottest new bands from London Grammar to Clean Bandit. So get out of your deckchair and get ready to disco, my friends!”
Bestival takes place at Robin Hill County Park on the Isle Of Wight from 4 – 7 September, 2014. Tickets are on sale now.
