Bestival announce complete line- up with massive Red Bull Music Academy stage

20 stages spread across 10 fields, Bestival surely looks like it’s going to live up to it’s name.

Bestival is a multi genre festival which will be held between the 4^th – 7^th September at the Robin Hill Country Park near Newport, Isle of Wight, Great Britain. Spread out over 4 days, the festival has previously been voted the Best (Medium-sized) Festival at the 2006 UK Festival Awards, and it was voted the Best Major UK festival at the UK Festival Awards in 2010 and again in 2012, whilst picking up Fans Favorite Festival in 2011.

Apart from the music itself, the festival is also heavily involved in supporting social and environmental causes. Bestival actively reduces its carbon emissions and impact on the environment; for example schemes such as Bike to Bestival, Swim to Bestival, LiftShare, exchanging recycling at the campsites for cups of tea, recycling and waste management, commissioning Environmental Impact Assessments, monitoring power usage and limiting water usage with push button taps.
