The word on the street and the news from Bestival HQ is that tickets for this year’s Bestival are almost sold out.

If you don’t want to have the best weekend of the year, mooching around Robin Hill in the glorious sunshine, passing hundreds of happy faces as music wafts through the air, or if you don’t want to dance your pants off (preferably not literally) to the best DJs in town, or watch one of hip-hops greatest, The Beastie Boys perform TWO sets, then don’t bother.

If however, you want to do the above and have to chance to see all these bands, then get on down to your nearest outlet or go online and get those damn tickets.
