Bestival announce Jonsi (Sigur Ros)and a 'Back To The Phuture' party featuring Heaven 17Wednesday 17th March 2010 Jonsi and Back To The Phuture featuring Heaven 17 have been added to the line-up for Bestival.
Rob da Bank said, "As a massive supporter of Sigur Ros and just as big a fan of Jonsi's solo album 'Go' this is going to be a very special concert. Jonsi's voice is so incredible - get in the queue for the Big Top Saturday night now!" For the second year the festival will offer entertainment on Thursday night. The Big Top will play host to Wall of Sound chief and BBC 6 Music electronic music guru Mark Jones' Back To The Phuture. Headlined by Heaven 17 the Back To The Phuture party will feature classic dancefloor synth-pop and today's electro sounds. With many more acts to be announced for the Big Top soiree. Festival organiser Rob Da Bank said, "My first job was as teaboy for Mark Jones when he first set up Wall of Sound in a damp corridor. I'm well pleased that we're working together again albeit on a slightly larger scale as Jonesy and his brilliant Back To The Phuture boys and girls take over the Big Top on Thursday night. All about new music and some corking vintage music that still sounds new, I can't think of a better headliner than Heaven 17 to kick off a monster weekend."
