Two-day festival Bestival has announced its return to Toronto for the summer of 2016, with this year's edition taking place June 11-12, and the location changing from the Toronto Islands to Woodbine Park.

Last year's event marked the first time that Bestival forayed outside of the UK, where the event has been held annually since 2004. The event featured a diverse array of headliners including Jamie xx, Flume, Nas, Flosstradamus and Caribou.

In a press release, Bestival founder and BBC Radio 1 host Rob Da Bank stated, "Our first international Bestival jaunt last year in Toronto was one of the highlights of my festival career. I still can't believe how Toronto totally got what we're all about straight off the bat, so I'm super-excited we're heading back with a cracking new site, some incredible headliners and a stellar supporting cast to sprinkle our Bestival magic across the pond once again."
