Bestival Reveal Theme For 2013 Celebrations

I love Bestival

Bestival is ten years of age and they're really pushing the boat out for what promises to be there biggest and best year ever.

To celebrate Bestival beating the drum for a whole decade of dancing on the Isle of Wight, we can reveal the 2013 theme and you are all invited to jump aboard HMS Bestival!

HMS Bestival skipper Rob da Bank said: "All the nice girls love a sailor and all the boys love a mermaid. Think deckhands, anchors, beach parties, Moby Dick, tattooed ladies, Titanic, shipwrecks, Hawaii, Treasure Island, rum bars in scuzzy ports, message in a bottle, the crow’s nest, sea legends, monster breakers and tall tales of life on the ocean waves. Nautical but nice! There’s no better time to join the good ship HMS Bestival and our trusty crew of merrimakers than now with Crimbo approaching, so get your Golden Early Bird Tickets and prepare to set sail me hearties!”

Marking the mighty 10th anniversary Bestival will be throwing an epic Bestival Classics opening night birthday party on Thursday 5th September. Celebrating 10 years of decadence, with fine hosts Rob da Bank and The Cuban Brothers taking the helm for a night of merry mayhem, featuring some extra special guests who will be spanning a decade of killer line ups with some truly banging Bestival anthems for all you salty seadogs. Keep an eye on Bestival’s Twitter and Facebook because they will be asking all you Bestivalites who you think should be dropping the classics in the next few weeks. The party starts here, so don’t miss out on the four day spectacular!

Buy Early Bird tickets to Bestival 2013 NOW and you’ll get them fixed at 2012 prices. And, because it’s Christmas, we can help you make a real gift of it with an exclusive memento golden souvenir ticket to put under the tree and light up someone’s face on Christmas day. You’ve got to hurry though as numbers are limited, so take advantage of the offer before it’s too late! Early Bird tickets are on sale until January 1st 2013. 

Lots more news is coming your way soon.
