Bestival 2008

Bestival 2008

The Bestival 2008 is the fifth installment of the Bestival a boutique music festival at Robin Hill on the Isle Of Wight. The festival was held between September 5 - September 7 2008 and over 30,000 people attended.

The festival was nominated for Best Medium Sized Festival, Grass Roots Festival Award, Family Festival Award, Best Lineup and Best Toilets in the UK Festival Awards [ [http://www.festivalawards.com/index.cfm?section=awards.nominees&year=2008 "UK Festival Awards 2008"] ] .

The event was marred by heavy rain on the Friday and Saturday causing stage closures and widespread misery for festival-goers. Fortunately the fancy dress theme was '30,000 freaks under the sea' so most were prepared for the ensuing aqautics.
