Explaining the idea behind Island Day, Rob da Bank said, "Each year I get inundated with CDs of amazing bands and DJs from the Island and I can never fit enough on so this year we're giving the whole of the Saturday day and night on the Bandstand over to Isle Of Wight talent. From Blank Beats to The Shoots we've got the cream of the local bands and watch out for an announcement on a DJ day too." The space themed Bestival returns to Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight, and happens from Friday 11th until Sunday 13th September 2009 and as well as the music, Bestival also offers cocktail bars, laughter clubs, a farmers market, kids area, morris dancing, magical moments and more, as one of the most colourful events on the festival calendar.
