DUB PISTOLS Barry Ashworth @ Bestival 2011

Bestival have announced that DUB PISTOLS head honcho Barry Ashworth will perform a dj show on the Afterburner stage on sunday evening, Barry is one of the few artists that has had the honour of performing at every Bestival and Camp Bestival since the festival started.

 

 Arcadia’s arena has been one of the undisputed highlights of last two years at Bestival. A 360 degree DJ stage which shoots giant 30ft flame balls from its spire and is surrounded by 12 fire breathing lamppost tree sculptures, along with high-powered lighting… and all beating in time with the music played by a DJ. 
It’s back for 2011 but in a new location deep into the campsites.
Also back for 2011 are the legendary Lords of Lightning – two guys who harness 4 million volts of raw electricity… and then fire it at each other… using their heads. Check this to see what we mean!

Akala has performed at UK festivals: V Festival, Wireless, Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Parklife and Isle of Wight and supported artists such as Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera, M.I.A., Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), Audiobullys, DJ Shadow, The Gotan Project and Scratch Perverts on their UK/European tours.

In 2008, Akala has also featured at the South by Southwest Music festival in Texas, as well as performances in New York, Los Angeles and in Brazil.

In 2010, Akala toured the UK with the Nas & Damian Marley Distant Relatives tour, which included the British rappers Ty. In November 2010, he also embarked on his own headline tour of the UK (20 dates).

In November 2010, Akala headlined a live performance at the British Library, to launch the Evolving English exhibition and featured performances by the renowned British poet Zena Edwards, comedian Doc Brown and British rapper/activist Lowkey. The live event also included Akala taking part in a hip hop panel discussion alongside Saul Williams, US professor M.K. Asante and Lowkey.
