Bestival Announce Fancy Dress Theme For 2009
It's a space odyssey for next year's festival...
Bestival have revealed the theme for next year's fancy dress theme - Out Of Space!
2008 saw "30,000 Freaks Under The Sea" congregate at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle Of Wight, which turned out to be an ironic choice seeing the near constant torrential rain that blighted the event from start to finish. However, the eternally optimistic organiser Rob Da Bank is excited about the next festival already.
"Its only been 3 months since we peeled off our underwater outfits at Bestival 2008 but we've had so many requests to get on and announce the theme for 2009 that we gave in," laffs Da Bank, who is probably paining some sign somewhere as we speak. "I'm tweaking the exact title, but due to popular demand from our ever busy forum and the fact that next year is the 40th anniversary since Man landed on the moon, it's a Space theme - Out of Space, 2009: A Space Oddity, Alien. You get the gist! So get needle and thread out, dig out the dressing up box and prepare for lift off!"
Bestival will take place on September 11, 12 and 13 2009. Tickets are on sale now - more info at www.bestival.net.
