The Prodigy.
BRITISH dance music pioneers The Prodigy will return to the Island in September to headline Bestival.
It will be the third time the renowned ravers have played the Island in recent years, having already notched up two explosive performances at the Isle of Wight Festival.
They will be joined by giants of reggae The Wailers, who secured their place in music history thanks to their work with Bob Marley.
LCD Soundsystem will rock the Big Top, while eighties throwback Howard Jones and local stars Holly Kirby and The Kurves also feature among the latest acts to be confirmed.
Following last year’s Big Top show, La Roux will return for a DJ set, alongside turntable favourites Zane Lowe, Don Letts, Gilles Peterson, Audio Bullys and king of Halifax Hospital Radio Barry Peters.
"So we can finally unveil our Sunday night headliner as Braintree’s finest, The Prodigy. Since raving as a very young pup to Charly and Out of Space through to caning their new record on my radio show, they 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 act."
