DIPLO DOWN FOR BESTIVAL

Red Bull Music Academy confirms Bestival dance line-ups

Dancehall daddy Diplo, signed to Secretly Canadian as Major Lazer, will headline the final day of the Red Bull Music Academy Stage at Bestival this summer.

Joining Diplo on the Sunday are Kaytranada, Trippy Turtle and Artwork amongst others.

Meanwhile, Thursday sees Jackmaster & Oneman present their four-deck Can U Dance show; DJ Harvey takes over Friday with his Discotheque, and JME and Skepta present a day of UK urban culture on the Saturday.

Diplo's work with M.I.A. landed him work with Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi and Die Antwoord, as well as leading to the formation of Major Lazer with Switch. The project spawned the album 'Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do', which helped to repopularise dancehall. Switch left the project in 2011.
