Bestival

Robin Hill, the Isle of Wight, 11th-13th September, 2009

Curated by Radio 1 DJ and straight-up nice guy, Rob Da Bank, Bestival is a feel-good summer festival of the boutique variety.

It takes place in a country park on the Isle of Wight, and is known for its eclectic lineups which have, in recent years, featured the likes of Amy Winehouse, Transglobal Underground and the Beastie Boys. This year sees Kraftwerk headline, backed up by big names such as Fleet Foxes, Squarepusher and MGMT.

Its not just music that Bestival is big on either: it can boast of having the world’s biggest fancy dress party (this year's theme: A Space Oddity) and has areas dedicated to both bollywood and burlesque.
