Music Festival News

Bestival was one of the most popular festivals in 2008 from who i spoke to and what i read, Despite terrible weather i still didn’t hear anything negative about the festival, even when an outdoor stage got closed!

2009 plays host to Bestival 2009 : A Space oditty As you can guess this is a space themed festival.
