BESTIVAL organisers have revealed more of their 2014 Big Top line-up.

Opening the show on Thursday night with a line-up big enough to grace almost any other festival’s main stage, it’s where the best breakthrough acts rub shoulders with cult heroes & international favourites.

Giving genre-specifics a swerve, The Big Top is seriously eclectic and this year programmed by BBC Radio 6 Music.

With a headline set from living legend Beck on Thursday evening, plus an appearance from the incredible Basement Jaxx already announced, even more class is being added to the line-up.

Bonobo, aka Simon Green, who recently sold out the Sydney Opera House, will be bringing the lush and lilting rhythms of his hugely acclaimed live show to mesmerise the Bestival massive. Organisers will also welcome back long time Bestival favourite SBTRKT, who recently released luxuriant instrumental EP Transitions, to smash up the dancefloor like only he can. Nicolas Jaar & Dave Harrington’s Darkside will add brooding eclecticism, while psychedelic trailblazers Temples will make their first appearance demonstrating just what makes them one of the most talked about bands around.

The inimitable DJ Yoda will return to dazzle, dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip take on their home turf with killer beats and sublime rhymes, Peter Hook & the Light will perform landmark album Unknown Pleasures and superlative chanteuse Cate Le Bon will bring her beguiling presence.

Rob da Bank says: “I probably spend more time in The Big Top at Bestival than in any other space. The Main Stage has lots of huge and excellent acts on, but The Big Top is the intimate beating heart of Bestival and getting sweaty with 10,000 other Bestivalites to the most cutting-edge indie, electronic and folk acts is always fun.”

Bestival 2014 takes place at Robin Hill Country Park from September 4 to 7.
