its place among more than 20 stages in ten fields of non-stop parties, Red Bull Music Academy will be returning to Bestival with a mind-blowing new stage featuring a stunning altar dedicated to dance and a winged deity.

Joining a throng of castaways at the Desert Island Disco themed event in September, a takeover by Glaswegian electronic music Mafiosi Numbers, who return to Bestival for the fourth time, kicks things off on Thursday.

Friday sees Harvey’s Discotheque taking charge. Techno DJ du jour Daniel Avery also joins in.

Saturday’s line-up is headed up by Boy Better Know’s JME, Skepta, and ex-Kiss FM DJ Logan Sama. Saturday’s special guest is DJ EZ.

Bringing the weekend to a close, Sunday sees Diplo & friends take the headline slot, with appearances through the night from Kaytranada, Trippy Turtle and dubstep originator Artwork.

Bestival is at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight from September 4 to 7. Tickets are on sale now - click here>>
