Arcadia Interview with eFestivals about their summer ahead

[Paul ™]

Good interview with some of Arcadia's plans for Bestival

And at Bestival?

At Bestival we are calling the 'Mechanical Cabaret' and we're brining in the American artwork, and also bringing in an amazing guy from France (Orgue A Fue) who has a fire organ, which is quite an amazing piece, and some crazy circus guys from Germany who are going to be riding motorbikes up high wires, and they have a 56 metre sway pole as well, which is the highest sway pole in Europe. This guy rides his motorbike up a guy wire into the sky and then climbs up onto this pole and does his performance 56 metres above the crowd. We are really excited about.

Bestival will see a big mishmash of people from all over the globe coming together.

Sounds like its going go nuclear at Bestival

I hear you have the largest fire art in the world coming this year from Burning Man?

I think so, it's certainly the largest we've ever seen. There are two pieces coming over. One is a massive fireball, which is absolutely huge, that sends a big mushroom cloud up into the sky, that's been working out in the Nevada desert, at Burning Man for a while but nobody has ever done it in a festival environment. We're currently working on the logistics of that, and it will be at BoomTown and Bestival.

This is the sort of stuff which attracted me to Bestival this year, can't wait. As a Glasto disciple, I have never been to Bestival but I think it will be the next best thing this year so bring it on

And Sigur Ros, Gary Numan and John Foxx are playing of course, wow

[rachbon]

Sounds great, there's so many things to get excited about
