Bestival 2011

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Out of interest, are there many people here who intend to camp in the forum campsite?

As a massive fan of the Cure I really wanted to go to bestival - but money is a big issues and having already booked Glasto etc just couldn't see a way of doing it.

However.....

Got called into the office by my boss today - and as a thank you they have decided to pay for me to go to Bestival (inc ferry cost and possibly some spends!) so....

I'M GOING TO BESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be for the 4th year running

As far as I know there is no eFest Camp as such, past few years the few of us from here who do go, meet up and camp in the official forums camp.

This will be my first time at Bestival, going with a few of my mates, would be game to camp near people off here.

I'm going this year with a friend and maybe more, first time ever at Bestival. Pretty excited already

Just wondering how many more acts are to be announced? It's looking great already though

The nextmen have done a pretty ace Bestival/Camp Bestival mix, which is downloadable from the nme website here:

I love how with Bestival there's actually no way of telling what's going to be announced. It could be anything! I don't even bother trying to guess

Has the fancy dress theme been announced? All I could find was the party at KoKo was a rockstar/diva theme & this was repeated in my gfs fashion mag, with that bird off T4, that it would be the theme for the actual fest.

(Hope that makes sense)

My fancy dress was a bit disappointing last year as I only bought my tickets a day before the festival. Want to make up for it this year!

[edfirth]

It is Rockstar/Diva

Yeah that's what I was talking about. I was just wondering how many people here were going to be camping in the OFFICIAL forum campsite.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I think I will be as going only own and first time at bestival

[Banana Co]

Apparently there'll be a good amount of people going on their own so I don't think you should worry too much about that. It seems other festivals would view you as a bit of a Billy no-mates but Bestival's crowd strikes me as being a little different - could make friends for life there.

What time is the announcement today?

[Dave The Hedgehog]

The announcement is happening right now.
