The line-up which includes bands and DJs such as Kissy Sell Out, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, Rob Da Bank, The Troubadours, Annie Mac, Late Of The Pier and Greg's Greats.
Bestival founder Rob da Bank enthused: "We love putting on outdoor festivals so we thought why not do one inside? In fact, let's do two! Bandstand is a very British, eccentric celebration of music, comedy and performance taking you to another world. We hope this is the start of a series of landmark musical events for the UK."
The first party will take place in Old Billingsgate Market, London on Saturday 3rd May and the second, a week later at Liverpool's Carling Academy on Saturday 10th May. Both events run from 8pm until 2am. DJs will make unannounced appearances and there are surprises planned.

In the Bandstand main stage arenas, live acts and DJs perform in a traditional Bandstand setting surrounded by park benches, eccentric look-a-likes and paths leading off to different areas.
In the Alice In Wonderland inspired room, CS Lewis meets a traditional English garden party with an upscale Mad Hatter's Tea Party. It will have a fancy dress funbox, with lots of acting out of Alice In Wonderland themes. There is also the Time Machine Disco and cocktails will provided by the Bollywood Bar experience from Bestival.
