BESTIVAL 2010: The Prodigy announced as Sunday Night headliners!
The year of the fantastic just keeps on getting more fantastic-er at Bestival HQ. The festival, which takes place on the Isle of Wight from 9 – 12 September, has just confirmed The Prodigy as Sunday night headliners. The Prodj will join the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Hot Chip, Roxy Music, Flaming Lips, Gil Scott Heron, Richie Hawtin presents Plastikman and LCD Soundsystem at Robin Hill Country Park. Festival organiser Rob da Bank told us, “Since raving as a young pup to ‘Charly’ and ‘Out Of Space’, through to caning their new record on my radio show, The Prodigy have been a massive part of my record collection. As far as polishing off the party on Sunday night I can’t think of a more explosive finale … and it’s gonna be the last we’ll see of them for quite a while on our shores so get in the queue now!” And as it’s the band’s last live show for some time, you can be sure that Liam, Maxim and Keith will pull out all the stops to deliver an incendiary experience. One of the best live acts of all-time, Bestival will be bouncing to The Prodigy on Sunday night in celebration of a double finale!
Also joining The Prodigy at Bestival, reggae legends The Wailers (the backing band for one of the most famous men to have ever lived, Bob Marley) are celebrating their 40th anniversary by playing all the classics that are so well-known and loved across the globe on stage at Bestival.
Tickets are priced at £150 for adults, £140 for students, £75 for ages 13 – 15, £free for ages 12 and under.
