Rob da Bank and the Bestival crew are violently happy to announce that the one and only Björk will be playing her only outdoor festival show in the world this year as Bestival 2011's Sunday night headliner, joining the previously announced bill toppers The Cure and Pendulum.

"I honestly can't believe Björk is coming to Bestival", explains Bestival curator Rob da Bank. "Without a doubt one of the most iconic musicians of the last century, Björk is always one step ahead of the pack with her music and innovations, and the new Biophilia show is jam-packed full of technology, great interpretations of her amazing catalogue of songs and some brand new corkers. The grand finale to Bestival 2011 just got better!"

Björk's unique vocal flare and experimental spark has made her one of the world’s greatest artistes and her spellbinding live shows have become the stuff of legend, so it’s a complete honour that she’s coming to our Isle of Wight shindig. In a worldwide outdoor festival exclusive, Björk will be playing a host of classic tracks and bringing things right up to date with her current hugely anticipated and inspirational musical project and album, 'Biophilia' which continues to push the boundaries of entertainment, combining music, apps and internet installations.

Björk's Bestival headline set will also include an award-winning Icelandic female choir and will feature a range of specially conceived and crafted instruments, among them a bespoke pipe organ that accepts digital information, making it a sure fire guarantee that Bestivalites are in for a proper treat when it comes to this year’s closing set on the main stage.
