QUOTES FROM BESTIVAL 2006
"This year’s Bestival was quite Simply one of the Best Weekends I’ve had all summer. The vibe, the people, the music, the effort, the food… Rob da Banks’ magical mystery boutique festival delivered, and to be honest, surpassed all my expectations." ONE WEEK TO LIVE – 18 SEPTEMBER.
"Bestival is for those who resolutely refuse to grow up – preferring to don fancy dress and release their inner performance artist on the isle of Wight... Eccentric, ramshackle, and with a certain edgy seediness after-hours, Bestival – now in its third year – is better described as a sprawling outdoor house party than a music festival" - SARAH DONALDSON – OBSERVER – 17 SEPTEMBER
"Rob da Banks weekend of great music and debauchery" – MUSIC WEEK
"A neat counterpoint to the big, bland arenas of the large rock festivals." – THE GUARDIAN
"It seemed even the grass had its glad rags on" – TELEGRAPH
"The line up was a bold investment in diversity and genre hopping." – INDEPENDENT
