Alongside those glamour boys, there's plenty more live music, such as legends The Fall making a very rare appearance on a festival stage, the superb brass hardcore hip-hop sound of the Youngblood Brass Band (a band *REALLY* worth seeing!!), BBC 3 World Music Award winners Amadou & Mariam, Devendra Banhart, The Young Knives, The Sunshine Underground, Kanda Bongo Man, and loads more - see here for the full list of live acts and DJs announced today, with more still to come.

This year's Bestival Fancy Dress Party theme is Circus - start planning your costume!
