If you missed tickets for Bestival on the UK’s bucolic Isle of Wight I have good news! There’s ‘a new knees up from the team behind Bestival’ called Camp Bestival –same ethos as its parent fest with lots of daft games and activities and excellent music such as The Flaming Lips Chuck Berry, Gilles Peterson & Hercules and Love Affair. It takes place soon - July 18,19th so check the website for details re last remaining tickets.
From the UK we head to Italy for the annual Italia Wave Love Festival, taking place this year in Livorno on the Ligurian coast so you can always go for a paddle if the heat gets to you. Held from the 16th – 19th of July Italia Wave features music literature cinema and comics. Artists on the bill include, The Chemical Brothers & The Ting Tings , Vanessa de Mata, Freshlyground , Konono No.1 and Gnarls Barkley. There’ll be a variety of Italian talent including Paulo Migone and Radici Nel Cemento. Making the most of the seaside location there’ll be daily surfing canoing and bodyboarding contests. Buon Divertimento!
