As well as the music, Bestival has the worlds biggest fancy dress party, the Bollywood cocktail bar, a Farmers market, Kids area, Morris dancing, magical moments and more, as one of the most colourful events on the festival calendar. New this year is Club Dada with surreal mixtures of cabaret and performance with the coolest music to boot, from hoedown to high times, from lo fi to Death Defying Circus acts, and Laughter Clubs.

Bestival head honcho Rob da Bank is so excited he could pop. "I can't believe we're about to launch the fourth Bestival and i'm as excited as ever about the acts we've got on board already and the hundreds more to come. We're the only English festival to get the Beastie Boys and I can't wait to see the fancy dress loonies po-going along to No Sleep Til Brooklyn. Friday headliners The Chemical Brothers are old favourites of all of us at Bestival HQ and their new tunes are miles ahead of everyone else as usual. Laser rave action ahoy! As for the Sunday headliner, well you'll just have to wait but it'll be worth it (and yes I do know who it is!)".

Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers says "Were very excited to be playing at Bestival. It was the best party I went to last summer, I can't believe we haven't done it yet, we're going to rock the house!"
