SW4 SUNDAY FEAT. SKRILLEX, STEVE ANGELLO, PUBLIC ENEMY, 2MANYDJS, ERIC PRYDZ, SKREAM & BENGA + MANY MORE!

“So excited to be headlining SW4 this year. London is like a second home to me and there are so many friends performing as well.  Great people! Great times!” Skrillex.

A warm Clapham Common welcome for triple Grammy Award winner Skrillex, who headlines SW4 Sunday in an exclusive London festival performance. Scheduled to close our alfresco action, Skrillex’s set continues South West Four’s heritage of showcasing the most revolutionary DJs. Expect the obligatoryheart thumping bass lines, plus huge, gut wrenching breakdowns and chaotic riffs. Guaranteed to go down as one of the greatest sets in SW4 history, this mouth watering performance is set to pummel Clapham Common into submission. You have been warned.

In addition to Skrillex, SW4 Sunday will welcome the world’s greatest DJs and live electronic acts. Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello makes his SW4 debut this year, in his final UK festival performance of 2012, whilst hip hop royalty will be on show as the truly legendary Public Enemy play SW4 in a UK festival exclusive as part of their 25th Anniversary World Tour. The ‘expect the unexpected’ ethos of 2 Many DJs, the DJ manifestation of sensational production duo Soulwax, make their SW4 debut this summer. After selling out the mammoth Brixton Academy, Alexandra Palace and Amnesia Ibiza last year, it’s a privilege for SW4 to welcome one of the greatest DJs and producers of our generation, Eric Prydz; raw and in the flesh. In addition Sasha’s atmospheric sound and transcendental synths will again be on display at SW4 as he showcases his mesmerising connection with the dancefloor.

Skream & Benga; two pioneers synonymous with quality bass music will be joined by three legends of drum & bass; DJ Fresh, Friction and Andy C, who brings his audio visual ‘Alive’ arc to SW4 for the very first time. Clapham debauchery can be expected from Mad Decent’s Diplo, the riotous Simian Mobile Disco and the dynamic Italian duo Crookers, whilst a defining festival experience will no doubt be delivered by Erol Alkan. The world’s undisputed ambassador for electronic dance music Mr Pete Tongreturns in 2012, joining the enigmatic trio of Seth Troxler, Maya Jane Coles and Dyed Soundorom, all of which make their SW4 debuts this year. Eats Everything, one of THE breakthrough acts of the past 12 months will also be present, along with one of the most important acts of the past 20 years Curtis Alan Jones aka Green Velvet.  Flux Pavilion is a red hot talent taking the dubstep world by storm, as isBorgore. With further performances confirmed from Jack Beats, Foreign Beggars, Doctor P, Dillon Francis, Rudimental we can safely say that all in attendance are in for a real SW4 treat.

Florence and The Machine to headline Friday at Bestival 2012

by

Rob da Bank says: “The first time I met Flo she was whirling around like a spinning top to a Paul Simon track at a party I was DJing at. I hadn't even heard her open her mouth but she had this alluring vibe already. Once I heard her scratchy demo I was sold and when she did her first radio session for me at Radio 1 I couldn’t believe this flame-haired eccentric young lady had such a stunning voice. Her shows for us at Bestival and Camp Bestival over the last few years have always been highlights for many and I’m glad we can finally seal the deal with a headline show on the Friday of Bestival and with The xx on before her this promises to go down in the Best of Bestival yearbook!”

Florence & The Machine

A longstanding Bestival buddy, Florence Welch and her trusty Machine have wowed Bestivalites across the years. From her mesmerising performance in the Club Dada tent to a handful of those in the know, to her all-conquering main stage set in 2009, her epic vocals, quirky melodies and self-contained musical world have created some utterly jaw-dropping moments that will live long in Bestival lore. Her second album ‘Ceremonials’, released at the end of last year, has cemented her reputation as one of the biggest stars on the planet and gained her accolades by the bucket-load, so we really are honoured to have her back with us again!

Florence Welch says: “This year we are headlining the one and only Bestival on the main stage on the Friday night after the amazing The xx, we hope we'll find you there in the wilderness with us! Lots of love, Florence + The Machine.”

To celebrate the fact that Florence + the Machine will be headlining on Friday night, they have put together a spectacular video message for us rejoicing in our Wildlife theme, which you can check out on our website, www.bestival.net!

Never ones to do things by halves, we’re also over the moon to announce that Swedish indie-pop doyens Miike Snow will be getting on the ferry across the Solent to join us at Bestival. Lauded for their eponymous debut album that brought them to worldwide attention, the band’s recent sophomore outing, ‘Happy To You’, has upped the infectious factor, as they effortlessly cross genres with their uniquely orchatronic sound. Their live show is a theatrical joy and one not to be missed and we can’t wait to see them!

The band told us: “We of Miike Snow are very happy to be playing Bestival this year, on the fantastical Isle Of Wight. We are looking forward to making sure everyone has a delightful time, and visiting Shanklin Chine. See you all very soon.”

Don’t forget about the recently announced Bestival Blocos either and our, frankly, off the hook carnival-esque Wildlife parade. More info on that can be found here.

We will be announcing our Friday night headliner on Monday 21st May, so keep your eyes peeled for the details and in the meantime make sure you keep on checking in at  www.bestival.net, and our Facebook page and Twitter for all the latest behaviour.
