• 18th Aug 2009

After selling out for the fourth year in a row a while back, we have some super news for those who missed out first time around as we have a limited allocation of ticket returns for this year’s Bestival … available for you to buy today – but be quick! These few returned tickets are now up for grabs from midday today (18th August) – through Bestival.net and Ticketline (0844 888 4410) so get your dialling and clicking fingers limbered up and make sure you get in there first so you can join us on the 11th, 12th and 13th of September in the picturesque surrounds of our smashing redesigned site at Robin Hill on the Isle of Wight.

And what a wondrous weekend we have lined up, full of all the magic, mirth and mayhem that makes Bestival so special, including headline sets from Massive Attack, Kraftwerk and Elbow and more incredible musical delights than you could possible ever imagine. Ever. Plus there will be our brand new Afterburner stage and a plethora of pyrotechnical delights, the Out of Space fancy dress theme, the chance to bust some proper dance moves in Come Dancing’s beautiful Spiegeltent, the intergalactic cockney time travel extravaganza that is the Knees Up, some amazing moments in the depths of The Hidden Disco and so, so much more…. We’re very excited!

There’s only a few tickets going back on sale, make sure you get one and join the party!
