With 2017 featuring not only new music but a new location, we are asking ourselves what is in store for Bestival 2017?
 This years exciting headliners include The xx, A Tribe Called Quest, Petshop Boys, Jamie T, Justice and Dizzee Rascal, but who else should you be on the look out for? Some of our other favorites include the Blossoms helping you Getaway for the weekend, Loyle Carner, Wiley who I hope will be wearing his Rolex, Nick Mulvey and the ever faithful Fatman Scoop! If that isn’t enough then don’t miss some of the more interestingly named supporting acts like Cakes Da Killa, Skinny Gril Diet and Disney Rascal – I would love to introduce them to Dizzee. 

If on the other hand you prefer to spend your weekend with the soundsystems then Andy C will defeinatly be one to check out when he presents 25 years of Ram, featuring Andy C.

 Along with the new artists will be a whole new location: Lulworth Estate in Dorset. Rob da Banks says “Bestival’s formula is pretty simple – we like you guys having fun, exploring new ideas and listening to amazing bands and DJs in a massive field or forest or both at the same time whilst dressed as a multi-coloured gherkin. If you like the sound of that you’re on board already, but if you need any more persuasion, we are proud to announce some mega new acts for Besti, repping the best in grime with Wiley, AJ Tracey and 67, through indie and rock with Blossoms and Twin Atlantic, all topped off with some good old fashioned rave with DJs from Heidi to Bjarki, Monki to the Ragga Twins and a massive garage takeover. Step up people, step the **** up!”
