by: Spoonfed Festivals

The Isle of Wight's biggest festival is back for its fantastical 9th year.

Where: Robin Hill Countryside Adventure park, Nr Newport, Isle of Wight.
How much: £170 adult weekend ticket (£160 Student), £85 teen weekend ticket, campervans £65 extra

Since its inception in 2004, Bestival has gone from strength to strength, gaining a reputation as the most innovative boutique festival around. Curator Rob Da Bank’s excellent musical taste ensures an awesome line up, which in the past has included the likes of Super Furry Animals, Pet Shop Boys, Basement Jaxx, Chemical Brothers and Primal Scream. Last year saw some memorable performances by The Prodigy headlining along with the likes of The XX, Dizzee Rascal and those DnB rascals Chase & Status.

This year they've got one of the best line-up's of the summer: Sigur Ros, Justice, Soulwax, The xx, The Horrors.

As well as the amazing music on offer, Bestival really stands out through a number of unique features such as the boutique campsite, laughter clubs, the Bollywood Cocktail Bar, Hidden Discos, oh and 40,000 revellers in some rather unique getup.
