Artist News Festival Line-Up Update Gigs & Festivals
Festival line-up update: Bestival, Beat-Herder, Love Supreme and more
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 3 May 2013
Hey, what’s up with Beat-Herder lately? Well, since I asked, I’ll tell myself that Beat-Herder is on quite a roll as far as adding artists to its bill is concerned, having increased its line-up to include Buraka Som Sistema, Chic feat Nile Rodgers, Concrete Knives and Tom Starr. They all join the likes of Booka Shade, Stanton Warriors, Mistajam, Norman Jay and Clean Bandit, thus bringing Beat-Herder’s total to… a lot.
And hey, talking of Chic feat that Nile Rodgers, they’re also playing this year’s Bryan Ferry/Jools Holland-headlined Love Supreme Jazz Festival. So that’s quite a coincidence. As for new add-ons at the Brighton-based scat bash, since we’re on it, they are Charles Bradley And His Extraordinaires, Terence Blanchard, Eric Bibb, Ryan Quigley Big Band and Troyka, so there you have it.
That said, here’s another thing you have, specifically a list of updates to Bestival, Bushmills Live, Live From Jodrell Bank, and the above:
