The Gossip Confirmed To Play Bestival

Also flying the flag for the female solo singers is the beautiful Deltasonic signing, Candie Payne. Her sweet girl meets boy kitchen pop songs recall late sixties British cinema or a Smiths single sleeve. It's pop music on the surface, in the sense that it's catchy. But there is an underlying eeriness and even loneliness to her songs. We love Candie Payne here at Bestival HQ.

Talking of acts we love, Tunng are back for their second year at Bestival playing their mesmerising mix of folky acoustics and busy electronica overlaid by gorgeous harmonies, bewitching mantras and synthetic beats that are reminiscent of early Beta Band, 'The Wicker Man' soundtrack and Four Tet. Plus we've got some great rock n roll and indie additions in the form of Noisettes, Electrelane (fresh from supporting Arcade Fire), Figurines, Foals and The Kissaway Trail, watch out for these bands they're hot. In addition we have Simple Kid who's been dubbed as the Irish Beck. He's known for his catchy melodies, Lo-fi country / hip-hop / 60s pop crossover sound and his deliberately "simple" approach to making and performing his music. Another one on Rob's 'gonna be big' list is also Robyn the Swedish pop princess has joined the bill.
