Bestival promised us four incredible days of unadulterated fun for its 10th Birthday Spectacular and they claim it was the best one so far.

Rob da Bank says: “Ahoy shipmates! Sadly it’s now time to disembark the good ship HMS Bestival and pack up The Port till next year. Words fail us in the Bestival office as to how fantastic a crowd you guys were and what a spectacle you all made right across the weekend, so big up and respect to all of you. Thanks to Mother Nature for a nearly all sunny show and we hope you all enjoyed all the amazing live acts, DJs, films, comedians, walkabout and actors as much as we did. A vintage year for Bestival and we owe it to all of you. We're off to wash our hair and think of a theme for Bestival 2014. Get ya thinking caps on!”

Fatboy Slim raised the bar to new heights for Main Stage headline sets on Friday and commented: “one of the classic gigs of the year!”

If you’re after a lasting memento of one of the greatest sets in Bestival history then you’re in luck as Elton John’s set was recorded live and is now available to buy with a share of proceeds from sales going to charity including the Isle of Wight Youth Trust which offers counselling, advice, information and support services to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight. Special guests Concert Live were aboard HMS Bestival and captured Elton’s first UK camping festival set since 1969. Available separately or as part of a special edition bundle offer, featuring a digital edition of Elton’s forthcoming album, ‘The Diving Board’ – order the rarest live recording from Bestival now!
