Details have been confirmed of the Electronic Rock 'n' Rave Circus which is being staged at the up coming Bestival by the Adventures In The Beetroot Field people. On the bill are no less than The Rakes, British Sea Power, Clor, The Long Cut, White Rose Movement, chief AITBF residents The Filthy Dukes (fresh from tearing Fabric's roof off at their Kill Em All residency) and the wonderful Simian Mobile Disco. Oh yes, and the mighty Erol Alkan will be opening and closing the proceedings. Oh yes yes, and there'll be loads of side attractions like the Giant Gnomes, a Town Crier, a small Enchanted Forest, The Beetroot Field Barn and Pastoral Visual Delights. Sorted.
Bestival, of course, takes place 9 - 11 Sep. But if you fancy some Bestival / Beetroot type shenanigans sooner than that then why not go along to the Lock Tavern in Chalk Farm Road, Camden this Sunday (21 Aug) where ther's a free Bestival vs Beetroot Field BBQ featuring the Filthy Dukes and Devon Miles (Adventures In The Beetroot Field) vs Jadell and Sombrero Sound System (Bestival). Sounds good.
