Bestival is really pleased to be teaming up with Amnesty International with their Make Some Noise project who will be the main charity association for this year’s festival. Make Some Noise is a global project by Amnesty International – a mix of music, celebration and action that aims to protect individuals wherever freedom, justice and equality are denied. Thanks to an extraordinary gift from Yoko Ono – the recording rights to ‘Imagine’ and John Lennon’s entire solo songbook – Amnesty International is harnessing the power of music to inspire a new generation to stand up for human rights at http://www.amnesty.org/noise.

Tickets are on sale, priced at £95 for the weekend - click here to buy.
