Beastie BoysNew York rappers The Beastie Boys are to play a second show at the Bestival music event on the Isle of Wight.

As well as headlining the festival on Saturday September 7, they will also play a special instrumental show the following day.

According to their website, the Boys are planning to stage several instrumental performances during their forthcoming summer tour.

A guitar belonging to the former T-Rex frontman Marc Bolan is among items which will be going under the hammer at an auction of pop memorabilia next month.

The 1970 Gibson Flying V electric guitar was used by Bolan on Top Of The Pops in 1972, when he performed the band’s chart-topping classic Get It On.

It is expected to fetch between £30,000-£50,000 in the sale, at London auction house Christie’s on April 26.
