With the release of the ‘A-Z Bestival 2008’ compilation, specially compiled by Rob da Bank for the 100th release on the Sunday Best label, 5 Golden tickets to Bestival have been released in the first batch of the album to hit the shelves on September 1st.

So 5 lucky winners will receive a full weekend pass to Bestival’s incredible fancy dress, boutique extravaganza on the Isle of Wight, which has become a jewel in the festival calendar’s crown, featuring such artists as Amy Winehouse, My Bloody Valentine, Underworld, Black Kids, Aphex Twin and a whole load of treats that Willy Wonka could only dream of putting in his Chocolate factory.

So if you’re purple with Jealousy like Violet Beauregard or ravenous for a ticket like Augustus Gloop, this an opportunity to not only pick up a stunning compilation featuring the cream of the Bestival line up but it’s also a gilt edged opportunity to get your hands on one of the most sought after festival tickets this year.

The double album kicks off with a stone cold classic; ‘Analogue Bubblebath’, which was the debut release from the ever innovative electronic enigma Aphex Twin, who will be headlining The Big Top on Saturday at this year’s Bestival.  Indie dons du jour Black Kids’ breakthrough single ‘I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You’, Carl Craig’s cascading ‘At Les’, the title track from dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip’s stunning debut album ‘Angles’ and Acid House legends 808 State’s sublime ‘Pacific 202’ all follow as Mr da Bank crams in boundless quality cuts.  Appearances from Oxford’s Foals, enigmatic genius Gideon Conn, synth pop doyens Human League, one-man-riot anti-hero pop star Kid Carpet, soul-tronica trailblazer Jamie Lidell, raucous rock n rollers Kitty Daisy & Lewis and the blissful folk of Lucky Elephant lead on to the leftfield pop brilliance of Micachu who rounds off the first part of the A-Z in some style.

Danger Mouse produced ‘ones to watch’ The Shortwave Set open up the action for disc two on the letter ‘N’ with ‘Now Til 69’. The 8 Bit grooves of thecocknbullkid’s ‘On My Own’, the punky pop of Pete & The Pirates ‘Come On Feet’ and Christopher D Ashley’s ‘sluttish warehouse electro’ on ‘Sugar Coated Lies’ keep the pressure on before Roots Manuva’s timeless ‘Witness (1 Hope)’ makes its presence felt. The unhinged bleep-pop of Slagsmalsklubben’s ‘Sponsored By Destiny’, Transglobal Underground’s majestic ‘Temple Head’, Underworld’s immortal ‘Cowgirl’ and Pendulum’s colossal ‘Visions’ bring things into the home straight that sees Little Dragon, Sunday Best new boys The Ghost and the throbbing Yacht providing a superlative closeout that leaves Zombie Zombie’s epic psychedelic wig-out ‘Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free’ to bring the A-Z of Bestival to an emphatic end, well and truly whetting the appetite for Bestival’s 5th birthday at Robin Hill Country Park this September.

Everyone’s talking about Noah and the Whale, and real soon there’ll be another 20,000 people talking about them as we’re absolutely thrilled to announce the amazing folk-rock four-piece will be gracing the Get Loaded Main Stage as the final act added to the bill. We always try and keep at least one slot back for one final breakthrough band (e.g. last year we nabbed Newton Faulkner the week he went No.1!) and we’re over the moon to have captured NATW before future summer smash ‘Five Years Time’ is set to gatecrash the UK Top 10.

Taken from the album ‘Peaceful the World Lays Me Down’ (released on 11 August), ‘Five Years Time’ is a wonderfully cheery feel-good song and the perfect festival soundtrack. Whereas last year Rhianna gave us her ‘Umbrella’ track and months of rain, it looks like Noah and the Whale are the real reasons behind the recent good weather as they sing about “Sun, Sun, Sun all over our bodies”!! Let’s hope so too, as Get Loaded in the Park is renowned for bringing out the summer sun! Oh, and seeing as GLITP is now in its 5th year, it was always meant to be right?

You always know what you’re getting with Bez and having been part of the reformed Happy Mondays exclusively for the first ever Get Loaded in the Park festival back in 2004, and then again in 2005, we open him back with open arms. 5 years on from those hedonistic parties, it seemed like the perfect thing to do. Leaving Bez and The Rev to rock out the indie beats, we turn to the cut n’ paste king DJ Yoda, to bring on the party classics and cheeky
cuts that we’ve come to love and expect from  one of the most innovative DJs ever.

His recent ‘Magic Cinema’ tour showcased his talents as the leader of the visual DJ experience and he’ll be back on the decks fresh from the Finger Lickin stage to pump up the jam good n’ proper into the early wee hours. Also on the bill is Get Loaded’s exclusive host for the day Beardyman, who’ll again show us why he’s the best beatboxer, like in the orld, ever… plus XFM’s radio guru John Kennedy hot foots it from the Common and his XFM stage to set the night on its way, with Together residents and future-superstars Streetlife DJs finishing off the night in true acid house fashion.

Plastic Factory returns to its full form this August as it relocates itself to the Horse and Groom, Curtain Rd.  In spectacular fashion the 15th August will mark a new era for Plastic Factory as the night develops and become more experiential whilst retaining its strong music policy.

 You are cordially invited to participate in the realm of Plastic Factory as the Horse and Groom is transformed into a plastic Mecca where the walls will be adorn with an array of colourful decorations and light displays. Upon entry, participants are encouraged to entertain themselves with lucky dips, by having their face painted, by striking a pose in musical statues and shop for plastic treats.  Music will come courtesy of your host Cranky Frankie and Pristine Christine whilst guest DJs will be show off their record collections at this monthly event. Tom Hannan from Rock Feed Back and the girls from An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump will be taking to the decks to show off their impeccable tastes.

 With these instructions clearly understood, revellers of the dark side are asked to baste in the unique sounds of Plastic Factory this August.

Sprawling across the South Downs, East Sussex this August Bank Holiday weekender is expecting 15,000 revellers on farmland near Devil’s Dyke for four days of eclectic music and entertainment.The festival promises a balance of big named artists alongside the very best local bands and DJs with club nights and record labels all getting in on the act too. The festival food will be sourced locally with organic eats and treats available over the weekend.

Camping and day tickets are available over the weekend.

Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Horace Andy, Bonobo, Los Albertos, Young Knives, Infadels, Hercules and Love Affair and Duke Special will also appear over the weekend.There will also be DJs sets from Don Letts, Wayne Hemingway, Dub Pistols’ Terry Hall, Andy Weatherall, Mr Scruff, Fake Bush and The Kleptones.

12 Stone Toddler, Transformer, The Splendour and My Federation will all appear on the Brighton Stage alongside Baby Charles, Black Grass, Carnival Collective and many more.

Beachdown Festival will take place at Devil’s Dyke, near Brighton, East Sussex from 22-25 August and will feature Gogol Bordello, De La Soul, Reverend and the Makers and Roy Ayers.

There will be eight buses an hour running from Brighton to the festival site and back from 10am until 1am, which means all local festival goers can leave their cars at home.

The parking facilities will be located off site, so as not to disturb or damage the natural environment of the South Downs, but near enough to walk to and from.
