Already suffering festival withdrawal symptoms after the end of Glastonbury? Then get your buzz back on because we want to transport you to Bestival. And you don't even have to go to the Isle of Wight, get a tent, or drink inadvisable amounts of cider to join in. Because here, for your listening pleasure, we present a stream of New Order: Live at Bestival 2012, featuring their headline set last year.
All proceeds from the album – released on Rob da Bank's Sunday Best label – are going to charity, to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust – so if you like it, go and buy it.
"We played at so many festivals in 2012, and our highlights were, without doubt, the last two in the UK, Portmeirion and Bestival," New Order drummer Stephen Morris said when the album was announced. "Saturday night was fancy dress night, and Gillian enjoyed dressing up in her peacock head-dress. This charity release is a special way to mark the Bestival experience, and we're thrilled to be working with Rob and Josie's team to raise money for such a worthy cause on the island. It's great to give something back, and also to give such a brilliant crowd something to remember the show by. And if you weren't there, buy the CD and enjoy the experience that way!"
