Bestival 2015: Invaders of the Future stage announced

Bestival organisers have announced the lineup for their Invaders of the Future stage.

Known as the ‘lifeblood of new music’, the Invaders of the Future stage will see Bestival attendees witness some of the best in new music, from the likes of Lion Babe, Stormzy, Soak and more.

Speaking of the announcement, Bestival curator (and founder) Rob da Bank said “OK, so this has to be my favourite stage at Bestival. It’s the beating heart of what Bestival is about – breaking new talent and exposing the undercard. It takes me about six months to book, on and off, wondering who the next wave of breaking bands are going to be, and trying to get the right mix of electronic, folk, soul and indie, dub and grime… and already I can see loads of these acts being on much bigger stages next year. Everyone from Ed Sheeran and Alt-J to Kate Tempest have played early gigs on this stage. So, from the wildly different sounds of Ratboy and Lion Babe, to The Skints, Clarence Clarity and the Island’s very own Plastic Mermaids, I promise you, this is the sound of the future”.

Tickets for Bestival 2015, which runs from 10th-13 September, are on-sale now direct from Ticketmaster (here), with event organisers continuing their ground-breaking weekly payment plan. Check the newly announced additions below:
