Bestival curator Rob da Bank says: “Jamie xx’s set last year on the fire breathing Temple Stage was one of my highlights of our first Toronto show, so I’m really excited that he’s back, along with electronic behemoths Porter Robinson, Odesza, and the first lady of weird leftfield pop Grimes, plus we’ve got a huge undercard, too. See you in T-Dot!” Bringing international artists together with Canada’s finest bands and DJs across multiple stages and mega sound systems in the heart of Toronto, there is a cavalcade of amazing music in store, including the irresistible dreaminess of Odesza, floor-filling polymath Grimes, rhythm genius Jamie xx, genre-swerving wunderkind Porter Robinson, Gallic club-smasher Madeon and purveyor of perfect future house Tchami.

Stepping up to the ones and twos at Canada’s most creative festival will be the incomparable Art Department, laidback disco duo Classixx, foot-pleasing Polish pairCatz n Dogz, and Hot Natured’s Lee Foss, with psychedelic voyaging from Swim Deep, and dancefloor action from Beats 1’s Friday night avenger Anna Lunoe.
