With Bestival's eagerly awaited return to Robin Hill already set to include such mega acts as OutKast, Foals, Beck, Busta Rhymes, Sven Vath, Candi Staton and Chase & Status, the award-winning boutique festival now lets us in on its forthcoming menu of exciting, under the radar, new music.

Festival curator Rob Da Bank has time and again proven that his finger is firmly on the pulse when it comes to emerging talent and new movements across the musical spectrum. These line up additions once again see him comes up trumps with a searing selection of up and coming musical pioneers making their way to the Isle Of Wight between the 4th and 7th September.

Acts to watch out for include the raw and primal off kilter pop of tUnE-yArDs (get your ears round 'Water Fountain' above for a supreme sonic treat), the rough, acid tinged, industrial coldwave of Factory Floor, Rudimental collaborator and Grammy nominated vocalist MNEK, the indie-noise talents of The Amazing Snakeheads and psychedelic doom assailants Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats.

Elsewhere Planet Mu's John Wizards will also be in full effect, armed with their ingenious, electronic African pop sound that hit almost every 'Best Of 2013' list at the end of last year (check out the sublime 'Muizenberg' above).
