Highly influential '80s band New Order will headline Bestival 2012 on Saturday September 8th. Having reformed in August 2011 with original members Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert (though - notoriously - not Peter Hook) the pioneers of electronic music will entertain the masses at Robin Hill with a choice selection from three decades of hit-making.
Rob Da Bank enthused: So I've got Blue Monday blaring out of the Bestival HQ office speakers as we unveil our iconic Saturday night headliner New Order. It doesn't get better than that… but it does! True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle, Fine Time, Regret - so many amazing records I grew up listening to and still listen to now and they still sound immense, pioneering, legendary. See you down the front!
