Bestival 2010

[Paul ™]

seriously considering this, but slightly concerned about travel.

What is the easiest way to get there from glasgow and how much does it cost?

cheers paul, need to investigated further before decisions are made.

I went last year from Glasgow, we got a train to London, then a train to Portsmouth, hovercraft to the Isle of Wight then the shuttle bus to the site. I can't remember how much it cost, I will find out, but I know it was cheaper than that estimate for flying! It was very straightforward as well.

Yeah you could do the train/coach cheaper but I'd rather pay £80 and get there in about 4 hours rather than the train which will take about 10 hours

[mcbain55]

[rseamer]

Howard Jones.. obviously

[olly!olly!olly!]

Have never been to bestival but it looks cool so I may try it this year.

Whats the deal with fancy dress thing? Do you dress up the whole weekend?

lineup looks good so far

[olly!olly!olly!]

arcade fire removed from rumours?

[zeppelin]

arcade fire removed from rumours?

[Paul ™]

Yeah RDB states they ain't playing.

Sunday headliner still to be announced and today's announcement has been delayed a couple weeks

[Macca3031]

Can we start the Bjork rumours now it's not Arcade Fire. Neil was 95% sure earlier in this thread which leads me to wildly guess that R&L put in a high late bid for the band. I'm blaming Sonisphere for taking heavier acts from Download forcing them to up there game and take bands usually destined for R&L forcing them to get more indie headliners taking them away from Bestival. *breathes* I have utterly no proof for this

Anyone who has been before able to tell what is the best time to get a ferry there/back on the thurs/mon?

Their prices are pretty mad. Looks like its easiest to book the bestival ticket and the ferry seperately as the wightlink and redfunnel websites are blooming confusing!
