'The Mighty Boosh' recruit their hero to play comedy team's festival

'The Mighty Boosh' boys have booked their hero Gary Numan to play their festival on July 5 at Kent's Hop Farm.

White Denim, Polar Bear and The Charlatans are also set to play.

Speaking about the electro legend, who had a guest appearance in the last series, the Boosh's Noel Fielding said: "Having Gary on board is mental! He is a hero of mine and was always a first choice, having him perform at our festival is almost surreal."

Adding that they are headlining the festival themselves, Fielding said: "We've never played a music festival before and a comic has never headlined at a festival before so we are seizing the opportunity and doing both!"
