HOORAY!
WE’VE BEEN SHORTLISTED FOR 7 AWARDS
AT THE UK FESTIVAL AWARDS 2009!

YOUR VOTES ARE NEEDED (AGAIN!)
PLEASE VOTE NOW: festivalawards.com

VOTING CLOSES 4th NOVEMBER


Thanks to your unstinting support and your all-important votes, we’re pretty darn chuffed to have made the shortlists 7 times for this year’s Festival Awards. Spread across 5 categories, we’re pleased as punch that Bestival and Camp Bestival are in with a real chance of winning some coveted awards but we’re going to need your help!

Bathed in golden sunshine all weekend long, our maverick team of funsters strived harder than ever to make sure Bestival returned bigger and better this year, so we’re especially pleased to have been shortlisted for Best Medium Sized Festival, Best Headline Act for the frankly magnificent Kraftwerk, Best Dance Event for the non-stop cornucopia of grooves that kept us all bouncing and the Virtual Festivals Critics Choice Award for Carl Cox’s euphoric old skool set. Camp Bestival’s second year saw a host of refinements to the campsites, amenities and the all-round entertainment to make sure that everyone from the tiniest tots to grannies and gramps had the best possible time, which is why we are ecstatically happy to be up for the Family Festival Award, that nomination means a lot to us! But it doesn’t stop there because Camp Bestival is also nominated for Best Dance Event - lest we forget in amongst all the family fun the stupendously fat line up of DJs and Soundsystem action across the weekend - and the Virtual Festivals Critics Choice Award, this time for Bon Iver’s spellbinding set in the Big Top.

This really is the critical stage of the voting, which is once again determined by you, the public! Even if you voted in the first round you can now vote again, so show us your much-appreciated love and support and head over to festivalawards.com and please vote! Voting for this final round closes on the 4th November and don’t forget that by voting you’ll be entered into a competition to win a pair of tickets to every single winning festival next year that could be more than 10 festivals!

Last few Bestival tickets go on sale at midday

At midday the last few tickets for Bestival go back on sale.

Bestival HQ tell us: " After selling out for the fourth year in a row a while back, we have some super news for those who missed out first time around as we have a limited allocation of ticket returns for this year’s Bestival … available for you to buy today – but be quick!"

"These few returned tickets are now up for grabs from midday today (18th August) - through Bestival.net and Ticketline (0844 888 4410) so get your dialling and clicking fingers limbered up and make sure you get in there first so you can join us on the 11th, 12th and 13th of September in the picturesque surrounds of our smashing redesigned site at Robin Hill on the Isle of Wight."

Festival frenzy for Bestival and T In The Park

BBC Radio 1's Rob da Bank was given a shock yesterday when news spread that Bestival 2009 has sold out two- months early.

The brains behind Bestival said, "I’m quite speechless selling out 8 weeks before Bestival actually fires off into Space. Its testament to our amazing and very loyal crowd that we've achieved this in a tricky old year for festies, so roll on September and thanks for selling us out."

Those who are lucky enough to have tickets can look forward to sets from Massive Attack, Kraftwerk and Elbow plus appearances from the likes MGMT, Fleet Foxes, Seasick Steve, Klaxons, Lily Allen, Soulwax and August front cover star, La Roux + more. Give yourself a pat on the back Rob!

News that Glade Festival and Secret Garden Party have both sold out was also received recently. For those missing out, here’s some good news for you. The first big names for T In The Park 2010 are out and there’s already a limited bunch of tickets up for grabs at 2009 prices. Remember it’s the early bird that catches the worm kids.
