Christine Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 In a UK festival exclusive, Mika will be joined by a full-band, glittering technicolour fest set to take this year’s space-age theme into orbit. Mika will also be showcasing some brand-new material and has some very special Bestival treats up his sleeve - there are still a few tickets left. http://www.bestival.net/html/tickets Bestival takes place at Robin Hill Country Park, Isle of Wight from 11 - 13 September, Mika will be appearing on September 12th. PLEASE do NOT RSVP if you are not attending; only RSVP if you will or might attend. Thanks!

RAK1 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 They have some good artists playing there this year, I might finally get to see Just Jack live! Every other time, there's been some clash, so fingers crossed:naughty: Blue Roses are there too, as is Lily Allen and Frankmusik:roftl: Should make for an interesting weekend!

Yoppappop Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i was at bestival last year, the line up was not half as good as it it this year, it was pouring the whole week end and i had SO MUCH FUN... I'm defo thinking about going this year too !!! don't have my ticket yet, though... and the ferry is definitely NOT £125, bab !! i don't know where you've seen that... there are tons of travel deals with festival ticket + ferry or even with bus from your town + ferry + festival ticket... the whole thing is still around £250 for the week end. but it's such a great festival, i loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line up does look great, and there is more to be announced apparently, so I'm looking forward to hearing who else will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go by car, but if you fly to London, you can take the Big Green Bus, the link is on the Bestival site, and you can get a ticket at the same time. If you want to go by car though, it will be quite a drive, if your driving from France. Once you get over here, you'll have another few hours drive to get to Southampton for the ferry. You can't fly there as far as I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 you can fly to southampton and take the ferry there... but i don't know how easy it is... you can also do : eurostar + train + ferry + shuttle (that's what we did last year) the travel deals are more like : ferry (from different cities, you can choose) + festival ticket you always have to take a shuttle from the ferry terminal to the festival site, and this is never included in the deals (about £8 i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a festival, camping is all part of the fun. September, sometimes we get an Indian Summer over here, so the weather could be good, although last year at this one, it was not good weather. But previous ones have been okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Forget about a hotel, the site is far from everything... there is a restaurant at the entrance, but that's about all you have... there are some houses, but nothing like a town/city/village in the area ! about the weather... last year it was pouring but not really cold. A good jacket was alright. and something waterproof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 BUMPITY BUMP! I know not many are going to this, but it's kind of exciting for me, as I think he's doing more songs from the album in full.

mellody Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 hmpf that's great - now that i've decided that i urgently need a mika gig very soon, as i wanna get away from my disastrous RL as much as possible at the moment, this one is sold out and the blackpool one is not a real gig and only for uk residents. luck really isn't on my side at the moment.

I'm surprised I got a ticket, because I thought they had sold out, at the time I was looking into going, but there were still tickets available for the coach package. But that was 2 months back, and it was just after that, I'd heard it had sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
