Bestival announce second wave of acts

With a line-up that already boasts some major names including The xx, Pet Shop Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Justice and many more, Bestival have now announced their second wave of acts set to appear at this year's event.

New additions include Wiley (pictured), Loyle Craner, Twin Atlantic, Roots Manuva, Fatman Scoop, AJ Tracey with many others occupying the various stages at this year's festival.

Organiser Rob Da Bank has stated, “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!”
