Sigur Rós and The XX for Bestival
The two acts performing exclusively on UK festival circuit for the Isle of Wight event...
Also newly added to the line-up for the event in Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight in September are Justice, Two Door Cinema Club, Hot Chip, Soulwax, Nero, Warpaint, The Horrors and Spiritualized.
Plus three of Xfm's tips for 2012 Michael Kiwanuka, Azealia Banks and Lianne La Havas.
Orbital have already been confirmed as headlining the Big Top on the Sunday night... but the main stage headliners have still yet to be announced!
Organiser Rob da Bank says: "So, here we are then! Announcing Bestival again - and another bumper selection of acts from across the musical world and styles. The xx at Bestival two years ago is in my top three Besti performances ever so I'm delighted they're hitting the main stage in 2012 and I've finally landed Sigur Rós, one of my all-time fave festival acts. From Justice to Azealia Banks, Spiritualized to Sister Sledge, I hope there's something for everyone and still three headliners to unveil shortly!"
This year's fancy dress theme is Wildlife.
Bestival 2012 takes place September 6 - 9.
Tickets are on sale now.
