The acts that Bestival confirmed are Foals, Beck, Disclosure, Major Lazer, London Grammer, Sam Smith, Wilod Beasts, Clean Bandit, Caribou, Chvrches, and Laura Mvula. They all join first confirmed headliner Outkast. See the current line up at the bottom of this post.
It has been confirmed that Beck will be the Thursday Night headliner, Outkast will be the Friday Night headliner, and Saturday Night headliner will be Foals. With the Sunday Night headliner yet to be confirmed.
Rob Da Bank Bestival's organiser said this about the announcement:
“Ahoy there shipmates and welcome to my desert island! Yes folks, HMS Bestival has set sail once more and we have finally landed back on the Isle of Wight for our 11th instalment – a Desert Island Disco. Foals were voted best live act of last year and I’m delighted they’ll be headlining the Saturday night – there’s no better indie guitar band in the UK right now. Also donning a grass skirt and mirrorball is a total icon of popular music and one of my favourite songwriters, Beck, plus disco darlings Disclosure, Diplo and his Major Lazer crew and all the hottest new bands from London Grammarto Clean Bandit. So get out of your deckchair and get ready to disco, my friends!”
Bestival 2014 is from 4th September 2014 until 7th September 2014.

Foals, this time as Saturday night headliners! Since making their Bestival debut in 2007, Foals have gone on to become one of the biggest British bands of the past 10 years, with their third and most recent album, Holy Fire, charting across the globe and earning them acres of critical praise, including NME readers’ best album and best track of 2013. Recently tagged as ‘arguably Britain’s greatest live band at the moment’ by the Sunday Times, Foals are no strangers to wowing the crowds.
Foals also commented on being confirmed as the Saturday Night headliner and said this:
“We couldn’t be more excited & honoured to be part of Bestival this year; it’s the perfect end to our touring for Holy Fire. We promise a night of madness, mayhem & good times!”
