Tame Impala, The Cure top Canadian leg of Bestival

Bestival Toronto – the Canadian cousin of Rob Da Bank’s Isle of Wight event – will be topped by The Cure and Tame Impala for 2016.

Other names such as Jamie xx, Grimes, Daughter, The Twilight Sad, The Wombats and Swim Deep have found places on the bill for the festival which is due to be held between June 11th-12th at Woodbine Park.

Tame Impala are staying busy off the back of last year’s ‘Currents’ album, ‘one of the best albums of 2015 – a creative and artistic triumph’, according to Live4ever’s review.

“Perhaps the most striking aspect of ‘Currents’ is just how melodic and personal it is,” the article states. “There is more emphasis on Parker’s lyrics and vocals than the previous records.”

“It is the first in which he has truly put his heart on his sleeve. The album’s sentiment is rooted in the end of Parker’s relationship with Melody Prochet of Melody’s Echo Chamber.”
