Making its first ever UK festival appearance at Bestival at Lulworth Castle, Dorset from Thursday 2nd until Sunday 5th August are House of Vans, who'll be hosting a brand new den of creativity, featuring live acts, art and ingenuity, curated by House of Vans, Sunday Best and DIY Magazine.

Rob da Bank says: "Just when we thought we couldn't get any more of the best new up-and-coming bands and DJs in the world at Bestival, we've only gone and teamed up with Vans for their first ever festival appearance. The House of Vans is a brilliant new venue designed collaboratively between us and them and boasts a killer line-up booked by yours truly and Vans including Besti faves Kurupt FM alongside a UK festival exclusive from YOTA plus the likes of Jimothy Lacoste, The Xcerts and Superfood. Vantastic!"

House of Vans' sleek warehouse will have a live music stage with its own bar, and a vintage photobooth. There will also be a workshop space with screen printing hosted by Lovenskate, who'll rework a range of festival essentials including bucket hats and bum bags for festivalgoers.
