This year's Ibiza Rocks and Mallorca Rocks festivals just got bigger, with Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and Bastille among the new names on the line-up for this year's Mediterranean event.
Ibiza Rocks has today (25 February, 2014) added a hugely impressive number of names to the line-up, with Bombay Bicycle Club, Tinie Tempah, John Newman, Clean Bandit, Chloe Howl, Wolf Alice and Breton also on the bill for this summer's essential island festival. They join previously announced duo Haim and The 1975 to perform at the string of summer shows.
"We can't wait to play Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks again," said Dan Smith of Bastille. "The gigs were both loads of fun last summer so we're really happy to have been asked back this year."
Rudimental added: "We can’t wait to head back to Ibiza Rocks this summer. It’s one of our favourite venues in the world and our show in 2012 was too much fun. Don’t miss this one people, Ibiza here we come!"
The festivals kick off in June 2014. The full line-up for each is below:

"It’s a really strong line up this year so far," says promoter Shane Murray. "We’re genuinely excited. Bands like Haim, The 1975 and Bombay Bicycle Club represent the heart of what we do so opening and closing weeks will as ever be special. Since last headlining, Ed Sheeran has emerged as an international superstar so it’s a real coup that he’s chosen Rocks as one of only a handful of shows this summer.
"We’ve been trying to get Skrillex for a long time so that’s going to be a huge Mallorca show, as will the Bastille gigs after last year’s debut sell outs. We always work hard to recognise genuine talent early on and we’re proud to be bringing back Rudimental, John Newman and Clean Bandit as headliners and bringing new acts like Wolf Alice and Chloe Howl for debut slots. With loads more still to be announced, it’s safe to say we’re in for another amazing summer under the Balearic stars."
