Bestival is an award winning 3-day boutique music festival set at Robin Hill near Downend and Newport in the heart of the Isle of Wight, UK. The event was born out of ten fun years of pioneering music events and record releases from Rob da Bank’s Sunday Best empire. The BBC Radio 1 leftfield DJ had a dream to one day create his vision of how the modern day festival should be. Along with Creative Director and wife Josie da Bank and co founders / partners John and Ziggy from Get Involved that dream is now fulfilled.
