Bestival curator Rob da Bank and his trusty team have conjured up even more special additions to the line up for this year’s Isle of Wight adventure in September.

Legends Roxy Music will be playing a hit-packed set on the main stage on Saturday night at the festival, which will this year be fantasy themed.

One of the most influential acts of all time, the punks, new romantics, electro-poppers and more that have followed in their wake all owe a huge sonic and sartorial debt to this truly timeless act. Driven by the refined and effortless cool of Bryan Ferry, one of pop music’s most revered frontmen, Roxy Music’s catalogue of boundary-crushing songs, that include Virginia Plain, Street Life and Love Is The Drug are sure to blow the Bestival faithful away.

Commenting on their appearance Bryan Ferry said “The Isle of Wight has a strong festival tradition so it’s great to be coming to Bestival with the original Roxy Music.”

Even more amazing music includes alt-folk sensations Mumford & Sons, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers with their disco funk, rhyme messiah Tricky and the Aussie atmospherics from The Temper Trap.

Extra hands in the air DJ manoeuvres will come courtesy of the inimitable Mylo, the blissful Aeroplane and techno don Dave Clarke.

Bestival takes place at Robin Hill Country Park from September 9 to 12. Tickets are now on sale from |ticketline.co.uk or 0844 888 4410.
