Kings of musical delights, Wired Radio DJs will be laying on the beats on the green throughout the day, joined by Goldsmiths’ jewels, PureGold DJs.

Friday evening will see Goldsmiths’ campus become a festoon arcadia of striking colour and sound for two exclusive ticketed events featuring Ghostpoet, Rosie Lowe and Nocturne in the Great Hall, with Disciples dropping beats at The Stretch accompanied by Amy Becker, Rob da Bank, Goldierocks, Wired Radio and PureGold DJs.
Bestival Curator Rob da Bank says: “What a fantastic collaboration for us! Josie and I met at Goldsmiths when we were young and reckless 18-year-olds and had an amazing four years there together hatching many of the creative plans and madcap ideas that have forged our careers in party-starting and mass gathering creations. We’re very proud to come back a few years later with some of our musical mates and some inspiring talks and performance. I hope you can join us.”
A thought-provoking programme of lectures and talks chaired by some of Goldsmiths most eminent alumni and academics, and will also run throughout the day. Collaborating with Goldsmiths’ onsite cinema Curzon Goldsmiths, there will be themed screenings to echo the event. Current students will also be curating spaces across campus.
