Final chance for Bestival tickets

LOOKING AHEAD
BESTIVAL fans - it's your last chance to snap up tickets to this year's festival
with only a few tickets now remaining.
Passes for the event, at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight
between September 5 and 7, are about to sell out in record time after the
announcement that Amy Winehouse will headline.
The troubled soul diva will take to the main stage on Saturday night with
the original Pop Idol Will Young gracing the bandstand stage for an
acoustic set on the same night.
Electronic popsters Underworld will headline the Sunday
night, it was announced this week.
Curator Rob da Bank says: "I can honestly say this
year's line up is my favourite so far. Underground
and experimental business from Aphex Twin to My
Bloody Valentine, funky stuff from George Clinton
and Jamie Lidell, and now we can add new kids on
the block Black Kids, Laura Marling and Santogold,
techno legends Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig,
Bestival veterans of four years out of five and our
musical mascots Hot Chip, The Coral with a special
acoustic set and the finest female, nay solo,
performer out there Amy Winehouse!
"Also we're ecstatic to announce Underworld
are back taking up their rightful position in a
Sunday night headline slot. Not to mention an
acid brass band, a cockney knees-up every
night and umm, more toilets!"
Also joining the bill are legendary Brit Hip-
Hoppers and party starters Stereo MCs,
Housemartin's honcho Paul Heaton, plus Rap
masters The Sugarhill Gang who'll be storming
the stage for a UK Festival exclusive with their
classic Old Skool repertoire.
