Bestival 2008 is now a complete sell-out.

With an incredible line-up that includes indie giants My Bloody Valentine, queen of soulful pop Amy Winehouse and techno titans Underworld in the headline slots, 30,000 tickets have sold out with almost six months to spare.

Bestival curator and BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank, who hails from Hamble, said: "We sold out of 30,000 tickets in record time which is ace because now I can go outside and enjoy the sunshine!"

Treats for tickets holders at Robin Hill Country Park, Isle of Wight, from September 5-7 include the BBC Introducing tent full of cutting edge talent from the likes of The Duke Spirit, Teenagers and Tawiah to some of the world's greatest DJs such as Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig plus pop legends Human League and Gary Numan.

There will also be Bestival fun and games, some very special fifth birthday high-jinks and fancy dress.

For anyone who hasn't yet got a ticket there is still plenty of Bestival cheer to be had this summer with the inaugural Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle in July.

The line-up includes the likes of rock 'n' roll daddy Chuck Berry, the psychedelic costumed craziness of Flaming Lips and Brit Award-winning Kate Nash.
