Gypsy Punks Storm Bestival as Gogol Bordello headline Friday on the Main stage!
- Plus Guillemots confirmed for Main Stage on Saturday Well its hot out there and even hotter at Bestival HQ as were dancing for joy at our latest line up additions. In true Rob da Bank style hes picked the hottest act of the summer for the prestigious Friday night headline slot, the mighty, mischievous Gogol Bordello. Last year Robby picked the Magic Numbers for this slot paving the way for the Friday night headliner being Robs top tip of the year. Sitting pretty next to the Scissor Sisters and the Pet Shop Boys there is no doubt New Yorks infamous Gypsy punks are set to rocket as Bestival goers experience their unique headline quality not to be missed! In the words of Bestival curator Rob da Bank: Ive been chasing Gogol Bordello since Christmas to do Bestival and finally bribed and cajoled them to move recording commitments. We are really, really pleased they are headlining the Friday night. Theyre easily the most exciting live band Ive seen in 2006 and if you havent seen them yet you wont be disappointed. Gypsy punk, Eastern European ska, New York bombastic breaks, weird haircuts and sexy ladies with washboards strapped to their backs! And it doesnt stop there Guillemots the most eccentric band of musicians you'll find this side of, well the Mystery Jets or Gogol Bordello, have just confirmed for the main stage on Saturday. Another of Robs top tips, Guillemots are fronted by the ace bearded showman Fyfe Dangerfield and with a stunning debut album Through The Windowpane whipping up a frenzy both sides of the Atlantic check em out while they're still available on this planet! Currently 6-1 faves for the Mercury Music Prize. Fingers and toes crossed for them eh!
