Bestival is on it's way...

One of my favourite rappers Dizzee Rascal, alongside The Flaming Lips, and Hot Chip-who impressed me at a live gig in Dublin- are amongst the first names to be confirmed for ‘Bestival’. This Glastonbury-like festival returns to Robin Hill Country Park, Newport on the Isle of Wight from Thursday 9th until Sunday 12th September 2010.

Bestival can't wait to go Bonkers for the UK's biggest pop star Dizzee Rascal, and, The Flaming Lips' have built a reputation for putting on a mind-blowing spectacle following their triumphant 2008 Camp Bestival appearance. With this in mind, expectations are sky high. Hot Chip will also be making a mammoth fifth Bestival appearance, along with arch disco infiltrators LCD Soundsystem.

With masses of Bestival magic sprinkled across the entire site there'll be new areas such as the Wishing Tree Field and Castle in the Sky Bonfire Extravaganza to discover.

Not to mention the array of delicious foods, and, of course, lots of tea and cake. As you get to travel on a ferry to and from this festival it is like Dizzee's guaranteed 'holiday'. Surely, this is one event not to miss out on this summer.
