Huzzah! RiD CONFIRMED!!!



According to the Mighty Boosh Festival's official MySpace page, Robots in Disguise have been CONFIRMED for the festival:


Har Mar Superstar, Robots In Disguise Plus More Comedy Acts Join The Mighty Boosh Festival!

Har Mar Superstar, "The coolest man in the world" according to NME, is the latest addition to the superb Mighty Boosh Festival line-up. Har Mar's unique brand of lewd R'n'B and electroclash is a perfect fitting to this summer's coolest looking festival bill. His downright sexy stage performances (most of which are performed in his underpants) showcase not only Har Mar's breakdancing and exuberant stage presence, but also his genuine musical and songwriting ability.

London's electro punksters, Robots In Disguise have also jumped on the Boosh Festival bandwagon, taking place at Hop Farm in Kent on the 5th July. Sue Denim and Dee Plume are high on the Mighty Boosh wish list and will bring their hi-octane blend of punk and electronic beats to the festival. Already a firm favourite among the trendy set, Robots In Disguise have amassed a loyal fan following through blogs, word of mouth and some insanely infectious sounding tunes. The duo's third album, We're In The Music Biz, released to rave reviews earlier this year, has finally cemented the band as serious contenders, ready for global domination.

Joining them on the main stage, aptly titled, Monkey Hell, will be fellow luminaries The Charlatans, Gary Numan, The Kills, Peaches, White Denim and Polar Bear.

Three new acts have just been added to the Mighty Boosh comedy tent 'The Velvet Onion'. Perrier Award Nominee Tim Key, up and coming comedian Paul Sinha and Canadian comic Tony Law join an already stellar line-up which includes multi award-winning international cult comic Ross Noble, critically acclaimed Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, plus Matt Holness (Garth Marenghi), Arj Barker (Flight of the Conchords), Greg Fleet, Mark Watson (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Josie Long (If.Comedy Award WINNER) , Paul Foot and Robin Ince (The Book Club).

Of course, no Mighty Boosh festival would be complete without a performance from the boys themselves. They will headline the day's events with a comedy extravaganza on the main stage.

Says Noel Fielding "The line up is finally coming together with all our favourite bands and comic friends. We can't wait; it is going to be a blast!"
