Björk to Headline Bestival

added 01 July 2011 at 12.21

The eccentric Icelandic songstress has been announced for the Sunday night...

The months of speculation as to the identity of the third headliner can be brushed aside as rubbish as it is revealed that Björk (!!!!) will be playing her only outdoor festival show in the word this year at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight.

Organisers, unsurprisingly, say they are "violently happy" to confirm her as joining existing headliners The Cure and Pendulum.

Rob da Bank says he can't believe it, describing the singer as "Without a doubt one of the most iconic musicians of the last century, Björk is always one step ahead of the pack with her music and innovations and the new Biophilia show is jam-packed full of technology, great interpretations of her amazing catalogue of songs and some brand new corkers. The grand finale to Bestival 2011 just got better!"

Bestival takes place September 8 - 11 and tickets are on sale now.
