BESTIVAL 5th-7th SEPTEMBER 2008

Sunday Best presents Bestival, a multi award-winning 3-day boutique music festival, curated by BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank and set in the leafy surrounds of Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight. It’s the sure-fire best way to round off the summer festival season.

2007’s headliners included The Chemical Brothers, Beastie Boys and Primal Scream, but they only tell part of the tale as there were over 400 acts performing across 14 stages over the course of the weekend with the music varying from leftfield dance, electronic and ambient through to folk, rock, pop. Not to mention the comedy tent and the multitude of chill-out-and-be-pampered areas. Plus this is all done with a fancy-dressed, silliness of spirit that reinforces Bestival's reputation as a true family-friendly fun festival.

When asked “What’s the best Saturday night out you’ve ever had?” Sara Cox (presenter of the Radio 1 Weekend Show) replied; “At Bestival on the Isle of Wight….it was a really small festival, The Magic Numbers were playing…It was a really lovely vibe.”
