Best Medium Sized Festival (UK Festival Awards 2005 & 2006)

Roll up roll up for three days and nights of music and merry mayhem as the Bestivalest Show On Earth returns for your pleasure! Expect hoe downs, high times, tea and cakes, techno, folk and everything in between at this the most spectacular show on Mother Earth.

At last the much-anticipated festival is now on sale! But this ain’t no ordinary summer shindig – Bestival, now in its fourth year, is well known for its unique creativity, innovation and darned right cheekiness. Our three day world of utter escapism takes festival lovers into the realms of surreal adventure – Not only does Bestival stand out with its most brilliant array of bands, DJ’s and performances curated by Rob da Bank but we are also renowned for eye-catching bespoke arenas and the delectable designs of Josie da Bank that breathe magical life into every corner of the Bestival globe.

This year the Bestival Main Stage will be set alight with two of the worlds greatest live spectaculars – The Chemical Brothers who will be headlining the Friday night slot and the mighty Beastie Boys who will reign on Saturday.

After spending the last few months in the studio working on their much anticipated next album The Chemical Brothers will be firing on all cylinders and ready to take the festival world into a new dimension by closing the Friday headline slot. In fact this is how excited they are ….

“We’re very excited to be playing at Bestival. It was the best party I went to last summer, I can't believe we haven't done it yet, we're going to rock the house!”

Ed Simons, The Chemical Brothers

As for the Saturday headliner, our favourite purveyors of Hip Hop pop, the Beastie Boys will be taking the Isle of Wight by storm. This is their only festival in England and we are doing the light fandango in celebration of this exclusive performance by the legendary US act. They also have a few surprises up their sleeves … watch this space!!!

As you can see this year is already going bonkers as everyone’s favourite festi spins into action – Rob da Bank is so excited he could pop : –

“I can't believe we're about to launch the fourth Bestival and i'm as excited as ever about the acts we've got on board already and the hundreds more to come. We're the only English festival to get the Beastie Boys and I can't wait to see the fancy dress loonies po-going along to No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn. Friday headliners The Chemical Brothers are old favourites of all of us at Bestival HQ and their new tunes are miles ahead of everyone else as usual. Laser rave action ahoy! As for the Sunday headliner, well you'll just have to wait but it'll be worth it (and yes I do know who it is!)”

And the music doesn’t stop there – we have literally fields of festival favourites, hot new bands and Rob’s top tips to keep our loyal campers entertained – From festival stalwarts The Levellers to legends Gregory Isaacs and Billy Bragg, not forgetting DJ supremos François K and David Holmes and tipped for the top acts such as The Maccabees, Bonde De Role, and Mr Hudson & The Library – it’s truly the most jam-packed cacophony of musical treats ever!

But its not just about the music, it’s the whole shebang with Bestival – We’ve created the perfect place to indulge yourself in three days of wonder. A place to meet like-minded folk, munch fantastic foodstuffs and experience the best three days of your life – its also the hottest ticket on the planet so don’t stay in bed, get that golden nugget and sail your way to the Solent and join in the fun!
