Bestival is setting the pace for next year's event by announcing its headliners ridiculously early.

The Cure will top the bill, playing their only European festival date of the year, along with Primal Scream, who will perform their classic album Screamadelica in full.

But it doesn't stop there.

Also confirmed are DJ Shadow, Brian Wilson, Magnetic Man, Crystal Castles, LFO, Boys Noize, Diplo, A-Trak, Norman Jay, Grandmaster Flash and David Rodigan.

Said festival boss and eager beaver Rob Da Bank: 'This year felt like a landmark year for Bestival. There's no avoiding the fact that we've become a large festival but I still feel we're more intimate than any of the other shows our size and, crucially, we're 100% independent. That means we book who we want to book, choose all the food stalls and traders ourselves and listen to our messageboards and fans 365 days a year to make sure we keep Bestival the best.'
