I'm seriously considering going to this since it's so close. Tickets are still available at £85 for the weekend or half for a day ticket. Might bankrupt me but I can always swim home. Anyone?

Ooooooh, that looks quite tempting! But one question - what's a bestival?!?

The Bees headlining :D


That's wonderful news. They played the new tent at Glastonbury before Spiritualized and were absolutely amazing!

Found a few of their tracks at 6 Music just this afternoon if anyone's interested.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/artists/bees/

Sadly the festival would totally break the bank for me, just have to catch them on their solo tour.

Ooooooh, that looks quite tempting! But one question - what's a bestival?!? Why it's a combination of "bestiality" + "festival", a bestiality festival. Isle of Wight folk are almost as inbred as the Welsh!

*edit*
PS. Yes the Bees are fantastic, I saw their Glastonbury warm-up show this year and they were super. That band is the only good reason I can think of for the existence of the Isle of Wight...
