Jamie XX will be a focal point in our fond memories of the first Bestival to take place in Toronto. Our excitement for his record 'In Colour' is unmatched, our love for him and the XX is no secret. He is pictured above with Bestival organizer Rob Da Bank, as Rob's set was winding down and Jamie's was about to begin. It started with the song Jamie sampled for 'I Know There's Gonna Be Good Times', followed by the single. It ended with 'Loud Places' and then Idris Muhammad's 'Could Heaven Ever Be Like This'.

The set was one we'd looked forward to for some time, and was an absolutely transcendant experience. The weather even matched that we'd expect to find in England at Bestival. To be present for one of the first few shows following the release of such an album is an exciting thing, to find that at Bestival is even better. There are many unique elements to festivals like this, and it was immediately evident to us what makes Bestival special. The warm welcome is in large part thanks to the number of people who travelled to Toronto to attend Bestival, showing us first timers how it's done.
