Mykki Blanco, Octo Octa, and Eclair Fifi are set to play Dazed’s party at this year’s Bestival.
This year’s edition of the festival takes place between September 7 and 10 at the Lulworth Estate in Dorset, moving from its previous Isle of Wight location. Dazed will be throwing a party on HMS Bestival, a real life ship docked within the Love-Bot Park area of the Lulworth fields, from midnight on Friday September 8.
“There’s nothing more exciting in our line of ‘work’ than getting a new site to play with, and Lulworth has so many cool and mad little areas to explore,” says Bestival co-founder Rob da Bank. “Our Love-Bot Park is a brand-new adventure for us within the site and contains some of my favourite venues, from HMS Bestival to Invaders, and of course our beloved Love-Bot. Viva la Love-Bot!”
HMS Bestival will also play host to another set of genre-mashing artists, including Sink the Pink, Jaguar Skills, and a UK garage special with DJ Luck & MC Neat, Heartless Crew, and Oxide & Neutrino.
This year, Bestival’s theme is colour. The xx, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Pet Shop Boys are all set to headline, while the rest of the lineup features Nadia Rose, Justice, HMLTD, Wiley, and more.
