The return of the hugely popular Temple Island at this years Bestival will be powered by SBTV and they have an almightly lineup to boot.
Temple Island curator, and director of The Physical Network, Liam Negus-Fancey says “We’re really excited to be back at Bestival with Temple Island after its phenomenal debut last year. The acts reflect our audience, they go above and beyond what others expect, constantly evolving to produce the best environment possible. We’re teaming up with the Bestival creative crew to build a brand new venue to host this exciting pool of fresh, boundary pushing talent to ensure you’re partying late into the night!”
Temple Island host and SBTV founder Jamal Edwards says: “I’m a massive fan of Bestival, it was one of the very first festivals I went to, and the experience was unreal. So partnering up with them this year is an honour for me. I'm a big supporter of the electronic dance scene, so I'm really happy that Bestival has given me an opportunity to put on an area that has got such great names like Kidnap Kid, T Williams, Preditah & many more”.
Out of the traps and ready to spank the dancefloor from the word go, Temple Island goes big from the off with a Thursday night line-up that includes Austrian chart-botherers Klangkarussell, epic house purveyor Kidnap Kid, bass heavy Bristolian Woz, Bestival’s top castaway Rob da Bank going up against Robin Hill regular Tayo for a touch of Purple Rave and the Monkeylove Stunt Team.
Friday’s dancefloor indulgences include jacking action from T Williams, monstrous manoeuvres from Shadow Child, gigantic grimey garage finesse from Preditah, cut-up vocal comforts from Lxury, divine duo Maribou State going b2b with audio-chisellerPedestrian, triple trouble on the double from Spoils And Monkey Wrench and siblings on a mission Star One.
Saturday’s look goes for chart-toppers Sigma dropping the big hitters, garage vibes from Shift K3Y, heavyweight attitude from Ed Solo, genre-mashing deeds from My Nu Leng, rave behaviour from Friend Within, London Grammar’s Dot Major, predestined vibrations from Karma and a live set from sultry soul chanteuse Purple Ferdinand.
And, bringing Temple Island’s second Bestival outing to a triumphant close will be Sunday servings from the Eton Messy crew who are back for another takeover, with their top boys’ own Blonde, fast rising Lancashire duo Bondax, Leeds twosome Wayward, Electric Minds’ skipper Dolan Bergin and Southern Fried’s own Kashii.

World-famous dance music festival Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) returns to the UK for an epic two-day party which will see it transform theMiltonKeynesBowl on SaturdayJuly12 and SundayJuly13 beyond all recognition in the only way Electric Daisy Carnival knows how, promising to be even bolder and more explosive than 2013’s sold-out inaugural event, and making the ground-breaking festival the most breathtaking show of 2014.
Having already announced a star-studded line-up, ElectricDaisyCarnivalUK is adding even more names to join the weekend's festivities. First up is very special guest Hardwell, back by popular demand, returning to the KineticField stage after an incredible reception at EDC’s UK event last summer. Voted the world’s Number 1 DJ in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs in late 2013, this inimitable Dutch electro house odyssey will have the crowd jumping to his tune, as one of the most dominant forces in electronic dance music.
Drum’n’bass and rock fusionists Pendulum bring a heavyweight electric DJ set to CosmicMeadow hosted by HARD, with hype man Verse on MC duties. A critically acclaimed stadium-worthy live and DJ act, Pendulum DJ sets successfully blur the lines between drum’n’bass, breakbeat, jungle and bass and guitar-led live electronica and rock genres. Staying on a drum’n’bass tip, UK duo Sigma beef up proceedings with a tendency towards jungle-infused sets. A highly sought-after production outfit, Sigma have worked with DJ Fresh, Rusko, Stylo G, Ellie Goulding, and Eric Prydz, and recently scored a huge number 1 with ‘Nobody to Love’.
He topped the charts with infectious banger ‘My Love’ in March, and now hot young DJ/producer Route94 takes on CosmicMeadow with his stripped-back deep house and laid-back party style. A leading proponent of the new house sound, Route 94 maintains a distinctly UK edge, his tunes laced with complex grooving basslines. US house master and innovator KerriChandler brings a DJ style that seamlessly blends deep through soulful and new house, disco with new wave and floor-friendly techno, UK bass and vocal garage, plus a very special performance fromDeorro who joins LaidbackLuke in the CircuitGrounds on July 13.
An Ibiza favourite whose star continues to rise across the European festival circuit and beyond, NickCurly is a tech house tour de force. This German DJ shows how it’s done. Cadenza one-to-watch AndreaOliva is another of Ibiza’s favourites heading to CosmicMeadow. Dutch electro DJ duo Firebeatz have the remixer’s Midas touch, while in-demand Hot Creations face and Outcross records head MiguelCampbell offers a masterclass in deep house. A-list electro-house production duo Bassjackers appear at KineticField. And multi-talented BBC Radio 1 DJ/producerDannyHoward – whose show boasts 1.8million listeners – joins CircuitGrounds.
EDC UK also welcomes some of the trance scene’s major players to CircuitGrounds, with Grammy Award-nominated progressive pacemakerAndyMoor and boundary-pushing evolutionist Lange going back to back, young talent and BBC Radio 1 In New DJs We Trust name JordanSuckley up against uplifting Irish DJ and producer BryanKearney, and Above & Beyond’s golden boy and progressive house tweaker Jaytech squaring up against Anjunadeep burgeoning talent Ilan Bluestone for a unique back to back set.

On July 12 the TidyArena features hard dance pioneers TidyBoys, BK featuring Cortina with a rare live trance set, hard house faces AndyWhitby and AlexKidd. Rising hardcore DJ CallyCage appears with trance and hardcore selector KymAyers, presenting their very special Tidy Girls Like It HARD set.RobTissera is on board, as are progressive head Maddox and hard house banger Townend for their Untidy set.
