Bestival 2011

[Joe-]

It would be so much fun, seeing everyone dance would be so good.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

line ups looking so good with the cure, primal scream - rumour of toots

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Next announcement is mid Feb

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Something else as well, actually.

I'm aware that there is a Bestival forum campsite and obviously a place where they all go to meet each other. Is there usually an eFests meet somewhere?

Not really, as the amount of eFesters there seems to be minimal (or ones that post regularly anyway). The past few years a few of us have actually just camped with the Bestival Forum lot. They are a great bunch and quite a few stop at the Waverly on the Wednesday night too

[BlackHole2006]

Turn up on the day, it's about £8 for the night and the bar has a good selection of food and drink.. Julian who runs it goes to Bestival and usually gets some crazy strong cider in for about £2 a pint and puts on a couple local bands and a DJ

[Paul ™]

That's camping mind, not in a caravan

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Only £8.00? That is an absolute bargain!

Not sure what our plans are yet. That camp site looks a good bet though. Reckon we'll get the train down, really dont want to drive. We'll probably look at staying somewhere the night after the festival too.

Depending on how many of us are going, if its under 5 we'll drive else we'll get the southern vectis again, it was pretty good last time.

Looking forward to the announcement, feels like we've been waiting forever.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

All in all, it's almost as broad as it is long but going in a car feels more practical and convenient.

We considered the idea of taking the boat over as foot passengers - not for any real ethical reason but because it's significantly cheaper, but when we saw that the train down from here to Southampton would cost somewhere in the region of £150 and up for a return, we decided that it would probably be a lot cheaper to just drive.

Train down costs £150, ferry returns cost £30, taxi to Travel Lodge would be £10-£20, taxi from Travel Lodge to Bestival would be another £10-£20.

Car costs £60 in fuel to and from Isle of Wight, ferry return costs £100 combined at off peak times, car park at Travel Lodge will be about £5, car park at Bestival costs £10.

It's a logistical nightmare if you think about it.

Ed Sheeran is going to be there according to numerous tweets including one to Rob saying "@RobdaBank thanks for the support dude really looking forward to bestival!"

Also, saw that Mat Horne tweeted "Aside of The Cure at Bestival, there's another hero(ine) playing. My 33rd bday is gonna be huge. Oh and ma boyz @themaccabees too!"

Guess thats Maccabees and Ed Sheeran TBC. Hero(ine) is interesting, anyone thinking Bjork or PJ Harvey?

Anyone else thinking Sigur Ros? I'm not sure if they're still on hiatus or whatever but it would be marvelous.

Was just reading on the official forums that the mid-February announcement is for Camp Bestival and we should be expecting another Isle of Wight Bestival announcement some time between the end of February and March.
