Friendly Fires, and more for Bestival

Bestival has announced that Friendly Fires will create a unique one-off live experience at the RizLab hosted arena on Friday evening, exploring the past, present and future of a mystery musical genre.

Friendly Fires are the first act confirmed for a three day line-up at the RizLab where special guests will be getting experimental with unique showcases.

Rob da Bank sayid, "I've been following Friendly Fires since I played out their early demos on Radio 1 and am a devoted fan of all their albums! The boys have been at most of the Bestivals so far either playing live, DJing or raving and I'm delighted they're coming back with what promises to be a true one off and the kind of experience I really love seeing created at Besti. Best start queuing early!"
