Rob da Bank says: “Thanks a million for making our Summer of Love so spectacular… It was a crazy colourful explosive ball of fun and love and music and mad things happening. With truly memorable moments and amazing new things like Slow Motion, Missy, the Carnival Parade, the Port, the Blind Tiger, the Chemical Brothers, Revolution Ride, the Love-Bot and a thousand other things I could list, I think we’ve taken it up another level this year and having such a lovely crowd was no small part of that. I’ve already got some amazing things lined up for next year, so watch this space!”

This year featured headline sets from Missy Elliott, Duran Duran, the Chemical Brothers and Underworld, special guests House of Pain and so many more, not forgetting what can only be described as an utterly insane reaction to the Chuckle Brothers.

If you’ve already got the Bestival blues, make sure you catch Seth Troxler’s two-hour Essential Mix recorded at The Port, which is going out on BBC Radio 1 next Saturday 19th September at 4.00am and a Channel 4 Bestival Special will be aired soon.
