Boom boom wump wump: It’s the sound of music some call EDM and others lovingly refer to as house.

We’re pretty sure you feel the same; you are the most fun, open-minded festival crowd on the land and high seas after all.

Sunday was always going to be a big one at Bestival with the biggest star ever to grace the main stage lined up for the closing set but Bestival Radio rose to the occasion for a monster line up of artists from morning until, well, morning again.
Breakfast sessions with Lovesick and the excellent 2:54 got things moving along nicely but things really took off with special guest Beardyman on the Sunday Best show. He delivered an action packed set with some live material thrown in for good measure but things really took a turn for the weird (science) when he donned a lab coat and talked us through what was either the meaning of life or some utter, utter nonsense. You decide when we post the video later on.
