Bestival is leaving the Isle Of Wight

Having been located on the Isle Of Wight since its conception in 2004, Bestival has announced that it is moving to the mainland from next year.

The annual event is set to relocate to the Lulworth Estate in Dorset, which currently hosts its sister festival Camp Bestival.

In a statement from festival founder Rob Da Bank, “Hot off the press – yes Bestival is moving. We can confirm we have submitted a licence application for a new site at the Lulworth Estate in Dorset and we’re super excited about our shiny new Bestival adventure. We have an incredible line-up, headliners confirmed and ridiculous new stages and installations coming your way in 2017.”

So far, no acts have been confirmed for Bestival 2017 but it will take place at its new home from the 7th-10th September.
