Adding even more weight to our superlative 10th birthday DJ line-up, we are making it bounce at Bestival HQ with the news that current UK Singles Chart Number One holder, Duke Dumont, is coming aboard HMS Bestival. Taking the top spot in the chart last night with ‘Need U (100%)’, undoubtedly one of the biggest dancefloor smashers of the year, Duke Dumont is renowned throughout clubland for his scintillating DJ sets that have seen him win an army of fans at the likes of Fabric and Bugged Out.

Rob da Bank aays: “I’ve been playing out the Duke’s remixes and productions for a few years now and never really expected him to have a huge number one smash… it couldn’t happen to a more deserving chap and he’s gonna slay our new concept stage where he’s playing at Bestival… more news on that very soon!”

Crowned Diesel U Music Champion in 2006 he has since gone on to gain plaudits from some of dance music’s biggest names including Erol Alkan and Armand Van Helden earning him the epithet ‘the producers’ producer’. And now with a bona fide smash hit under his belt he’s coming to Robin Hill to play at a soon to be announced brand new arena helping us celebrate a decade of dancing on the Isle of Wight!

This is just a taster of what’s to come as over the next couple of months we’ll be announcing even more line-up, new arenas, of course, our third headliner so keep checking our Facebook and Twitter for all the latest news. And don’t forget to tag your tweets #HMSBestival.
