Bestival 2008 sells out in record time
Bestival 2008 is a sell out! With an incredible line-up that includes indie giants My Bloody Valentine, queen of soulful pop Amy Winehouse and techno titans Underworld (pictured) in the headline slots, plus a cast of 100s more live acts and DJs, 30,000 tickets have sold out earlier than ever before!
Bestival curator Rob da Bank commented: "I thought last summer was a busy one for festivals and was sure the scene was saturated but I’ve been proven wrong by the amount of great new festies springing up – and I say bring ‘em on... I want to go to at least one every week over the summer. Oh yeah and we sold out 30,000 tickets in record time which is ace ‘cos now I can go outside and enjoy the sunshine!"
For anyone unlucky enough not to get a ticket there is still Bestival cheer to be had this summer with our inaugural Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle in July. Encapsulating the very spirit of Bestival, with our trade mark escapist atmosphere and eye-catching thrills and frills, Rob da Bank has outdone himself with a typically stunning musical line-up that includes the likes of rock ‘n’ roll daddy Chuck Berry, the psychedelic costume craziness of The Flaming Lips and BRIT award winning Kate Nash as well as the arcade poetry of dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip, the indie cool of Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong and the none more hip Black Kids. Plus there will be Strummerville Camp Fire Sessions, The Insect Circus Stage & Museum, The World’s Largest Marching Band, Physics In The Field and the unmissable Dorset Cream Tea Appreciation Society!
