“So, here we are then! Announcing Bestival  again – and another bumper selection of acts from across the musical world and styles,” organiser Rob Da Bank has said on the festival’s website.

“The xx at Bestival two years ago is in my top three Besti performances ever so I’m delighted they’re hitting the main stage in 2012 and I’ve finally landed Sigur Rós, one of my all-time fave festival acts. From Justice to Azealia Banks, Spiritualized to Sister Sledge, I hope there’s something for everyone and still three headliners to unveil shortly!”
