Bestival Adds Krept & Konan, Skepta & Kurupt FM To 2016 Lineup

Known for its eclectic music taste and lineups over the past 12 years, Isle of Wight’s very own Bestival has just gone and outdone itself with a huge lineup for the forthcoming Summer show.

Adding Craig David, Wiley, Section Boyz, Chip, Big Narstie and Krept & Konan to join headliners The Cure, Major Lazer and Hot Chip across the weekend of 8-11 September, the line up has won over fans and critics alike.

Speaking on the decision, Bestival curator Rob da Bank expressed “So, here we go again, but this time we’re going far… far away… into the future. Prepare yourselves for a Bestival unlike any other with futuristic new stages, and as ever it’s a broad church of music from every decade and every genre. Saturday night headliners and one of my favourite bands ever, The Cure, played Bestival five years ago and almost had to be dragged off stage after a three-hour mammoth greatest hits set. Robert Smith popped down last year and we shook hands on it all happening again… bring it on!”

Tickets and full line-up information can be found here. Roll on Bestival 2016!
