The 2 tone ska band are intending to fully reform with Jerry Dammers (not appearing at Bestival), Terry Hall, Neville Staple, Sir Horace Gentleman, Roddy Radiation, Lynval Golding, and John Bradbury all returning to the fold since the split at the height of their success in 1981.
Terry Hall said in a radio interview some time ago that he had seen The Pixies reforming and wanted to get plenty of practice in first. "We'll do it with dignity or not do it at all." He also confirmed they would be heading on the road in late September adding, "We're still trying to put dates together, but hopefully (we'll tour) September/October time. We need to spend the summer rehearsing... I think it's taken me 30 years to realise we could do it really well."

With the worst of the rain now behind them, reports from the site are that the campsites are muddy, however plastic matting, and chipping has been extensively utilised to keep spirits up and festival goers have turned out in fancy dress to add colour to proceedings.
Current weather predictions are that Bestival has had the worst of the weather and the occasional sunny spell is forecast.
