Bestival are pleased to welcome the Grammy nominated, Brit Award winning pop phenomenon that is Mika for a UK festival exclusive performance.
The Lebanese born, pop wunderkind exploded onto the scene in 2007 with his audacious debut album ‘Life in Cartoon* Motion’, a record that ripped up the pop rule book, taking in influences as diverse as Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bowie, Prince and The Scissor Sisters and coupling them with Mika’s classically trained background it went on to take the world by storm with it’s unique inventiveness and joyously unabashed sense of fun, while debut single ‘Grace Kelly’ smashed it’s way to number 1 in the UK charts giving the musical landscape a much needed injection of high-camp glitz and glamour.
2009 sees Mika return with a vengeance with a new e.p. and an album later in the year backed by his only UK festival appearance at Bestival 2009.*
