BESTIVAL 2014 was a record-breaker and the best ever! That’s the verdict of organiser Rob da Bank.

And now as the glitter dust settles, plans for Bestival 2015’s Isle of Wight adventures are already under way.

The date is set for September 10-13 and tickets are now on sale.

Wishing to thank all who made 2014 such a hit, Rob da Bank said: “I’ve just washed the glitter and magic Isle of Wight dust out of my hair for the third time since Monday and all I can think of are all the happy smiling faces of our best Bestival crowd yet.

“Hedonistic, fun and a bit wonky seemed to sum it up, but you guys were looking after each other beautifully too… which after four days of partying is a must!

“Too many outstanding musical moments from headliners OutKast, Foals and Nile Rodgers, through to Beck, Basement Jaxx and a tear-jerking London Grammar, and too many amazing smaller bands to mention.

“Away from the noise the Feast Collective set the benchmark for festival food from now on, the Amphitheatre fell in love with spoken word and Shakespeare, we supported and raised money for a shed load of charities and Island ventures and, yeah, we broke the world record for the biggest disco ball. Boom!

“All in all a vintage Bestival!” Praise from the acts came pouring in. Nile Rogers (Chic) said: “Bestival, you’re the best!”

Foals declared: “Bestival was absolutely magical last night, thanks to everyone and Rob da Bank.”

Disclosure said: “Thank you so much Bestival, the Best of the Festivals!”
