Bestival vs other festivals

Thinking about going to Bestival this year for the first time. Was wondering how it compares to other festivals in your opinion? I have been to TITP, V and Reading along with a much smaller local festival Nozstock. 

Thanks

It's better. The location is beautiful, there's loads to do other than just watch music at stages, sound on the main stage is generally impeccable, it can keep going until late because it's in the middle of nowhere, and it attracts a really friendly crowd because the hassle of actually getting there tends to keep the idiots away.

It's brilliant,  it's more like a mini Glastonbury  with a beautiful setting,  the variety of music,  the silliness,  the full on party from dawn til dawn.  You won't want to touch R, L or T after that!  Do it!

Bestival have now released day tickets for islanders so might be the odd numpty about but in general its a very friendly festival

    • I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
    • Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
    • I reckon it'll be deftones and Biffy clyro 
    • If Friko are replacing The Beths that's a very rare example of a band being replaced by another band who I'm equally eager to see. Great news.
