Last weekend I travelled all the way to the Isle of Wight for Bestival. It was SO much fun, SO crazy and SO exhausting. My highlights were Bombay Bicycle Club, Crystal Fighters and all of Saturday night, which went as follows: Cyril Hahn, Julio Bashmore, Annie Mac, Snoop Dogg, Hudson Mohawke and Simian Mobile Disco. Uh-huh, it was immense. And if you have no idea who some of those are, look 'em up (if you're into dancey house music). 

I also owe it to Bestival for introducing me to my new favourite genre, Polka. If you want to know what Mumford & Sons would sound like if they were Eastern European and had just taken speed, this is it. It's so upbeat and energetic, we managed to spend a good couple of hours bouncing around the Polka tent.

And when the music was finished there was loads of other crazy stuff going on all over the place, the site was absolutely huge. It was hands down one of the best weekends of my life and I will no doubt be returning next year, despite the 6 hour journey. 

I was way too busy being drunk and having an amazing time to take any decent pictures, but here is the cream of the (pretty rubbish) crop. 
If you want to see some better ones head on over to the Bestival website, and buy your ticket for next year while you're there.
