Justice have cancelled their slot at Bestival this weekend.

The duo have pulled out due to “production and technical issues beyond the band and Bestival’s mutual control”, but it’s not all bad news – Soulwax have stepped into the breach to fill the vacant slot.

A statement from Bestival reads: “It is with much regret that we must announce today that Justice will not be performing at Bestival on Sunday due to production and technical issues beyond the band and Bestival’s mutual control.

“However, we can confirm that long-time Bestival favourites Soulwax will replace Justice on the Castle Stage, followed by the Dewaele brothers making an appearance on the return of the much-loved HMS Bestival stage for a 2manydjs DJ set.”

Bestival takes place between 7th and 10th September. This year’s event will be headlined by The xx, A Tribe Called Quest and Pet Shop Boys.
