Most of you know I’m a bit of a self proclaimed tour operator for both the Isle of Wight and Bestival, enlightening many in the ways of Rob Da Banks execution of no doubt the best festival there is. See, here I go already. You can leave all your Radio and Corporate festivals behind. Just don’t even bother, unless you like Radio 1 and listen to the charts.
Many of you are gearing up already and some are even lucky enough to be going over Thursday to set up early camp. For any of you that went all those years ago I found the original map on my computer from 2005. It was Röyksopp, Soulwax & 2 Many DJs, I remember that much…
Any long lost memories from 2005 out there?

And the Magic Numbers not fitting in… i.e. slowed the music pace down after/before Mylo

Yeah. That was a bit daft. All pumped up after Milo and the Magic Numbers came on and everyone was like, eh.

Ah yes Bestival 2 was a good ‘un. But does anyone remember the year before ?
About 500 people watching Mylo on the main stage ?
Tents blowing away on the last night as winds raged ?
A mass can can by the audience on the main stage….
It was a very different festival to the beast it is now.
Sigh
