Speaking about The Cure's Saturday night headline slot, Festival organiser Rob Da Bank - who described them as "one of my favourite bands ever" - said: "[They] played Bestival five years ago and almost had to be dragged off stage after a three-hour mammoth greatest hits set.

"Robert Smith popped down last year and we shook hands on it all happening again - bring it on."

Electronic act Major Lazer - who will headline on Friday - are no strangers to Bestival having played on multiple stages before.

Bestival will take place on 8-11 September on the Isle of Wight. A Sunday headliner is yet to be announced.
