Bjork will be performing on the Sunday to draw to a close this year's 'The Rock Stars, Pop Stars and Divas' themed Bestival.

Bjork
Her headlining appearance closing the Bestival main stage will be her only outdoor festival show in the world this year. Björk will be playing a host of classic tracks, alongside material from her current hugely anticipated and inspirational musical project and album, 'Biophilia', which pushes the boundaries of entertainment, combining music, apps, internet installations and live shows.

Festival organiser Rob da Bank exclaimed, "I honestly can't believe Björk is coming to Bestival. Without a doubt one of the most iconic musicians of the last century, Björk is always one step ahead of the pack with her music and innovations and the new 'Biophilia' show is jam-packed full of technology, great interpretations of her amazing catalogue of songs and some brand new corkers. The grand finale to Bestival 2011 just got better!"

Bestival takes place at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th of September 2011, Pendulum headline the Friday, with The Cure headlining the Saturday while Primal Scream present 'Screamadelica' in its entirety, headlining the Big Top on Saturday night.

Also confirmed are Brian Wilson, Magnetic Man, Robyn, Crystal Castles, DJ Shadow, Katy B, LFO, Omar Souleyman + Sublime Frequencies, 65daysofstatic, Cranes, Boys Noize, Diplo, A-Trak, Norman Jay, Grandmaster Flash, David Rodigan, 2 Bears, Carte Blanche (DJ Mehdi & Riton), Pantha Du Prince, and The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain, and many more.
