Bestival Fancy Dress Theme

Award winning musical event Bestival has announced its fancy dress theme for next year's installment - an interstellar extravaganza!

Far in advance of the actual bill being announced, Bestival has revealed that the fancy dress theme for 2009 will be 'outer space'. Each year organizers set a theme and festival-goers use their imagination to come up with some spectacular and outlandish ideas.

Last year's theme '30,000 Freaks Under The Sea' produced some spectacular results, and 2009's event promises more of the same.

This year's Bestival contained some stunning performances from Grace Jones and Hot Chip amongst others. Dogged by a torrential downpour, the organizers did their best to help ease the struggles of mud bound music lovers.

in a statement founder Rob Da Bank said "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! I'm tweaking the exact title as we speak 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 is set to take place on September 11th - 13th in Robin Hill Country Park.
