Adding even more weight to our superlative 10th birthday DJ line-up, Bestival are making it bounce at HQ with the news that current UK Singles Chart Number One holder, Duke Dumont, is coming aboard HMS Bestival.
Taking the top spot in the chart on Sunday with ‘Need U (100%) (featuring A*M*E)’, undoubtedly one of the biggest dance floor fillers of the year, Duke Dumont is renowned throughout clubland for his scintillating DJ sets that have seen him win an army of fans at the likes of Fabric and Bugged Out.
Rob da Bank says: “I’ve been playing out the Duke’s remixes and productions for a few years now and never really expected him to have a huge number one smash… it couldn’t happen to a more deserving chap and he’s gonna slay our new concept stage where he’s playing at Bestival… more news on that very soon!”
Crowned Diesel U Music Champion in 2006, he has since gone on to gain plaudits from some of dance music’s biggest names including Erol Alkan and Armand Van Helden earning him the epithet ‘the producers’ producer’. Now with a bona fide smash hit under his belt, he’s coming to Robin Hill to play at a soon to be announced, brand new, arena that is helping everyone celebrate a decade of dancing on the Isle of Wight!
This is just a taster of what’s to come over the next couple of months as Bestival is set to announce even more line-up additions, new arenas and, of course, the third headliner.
