Bestival bring out the big guns...


"My brain literally never stops whirring, thinking and puzzling over who to book for Bestival," says Rob da Bank. "The 'anything goes' approach seems to have worked so far so I’m proud and pleased to announce Pendulum as Friday headliner who will smash the hell out of Robin Hill for sure. Just as importantly PJ Harvey will be making her only UK festival appearance of the year at Bestival and then from The Maccabees to Public Enemy, Mogwai to Fatboy Slim and a shedload of up-and-coming artists it's possibly our most out there line-up yet... and let’s not forget The Cure headlining Saturday night! Don’t be shy, get in there now!"

The fancy dressed mess around this year carries the easily achievable theme of 'Rock Stars, Pop Stars and Divas'. Topical, in these crazy days of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry battling it out to be the most extravagantly dressed.

Other acts for this year's Bestival include The Maccabees, Cut Copy, Metronomy, Modeselektor, Paloma Faith, The Drums, Caravan Palace, Toots and the Maytals, Mogwai, Kelis and Noah and the Whale.

This is The Cure's only Eurpoean festival performance.
