Access All AreasBestival was anointed Best Major Festival at last night’s (26 November) UK Festival Awards, which took place at London’s Roundhouse.
“To win Best Major Festival in 2015 is a testament to our incredibly faithful Bestivalites who come back year in, year out, but also the likes of Missy Elliott, the Chemical Brothers and Duran Duran for lighting up the skies, and mostly our tirelessly devoted staff and crew who make it all come together.”
Other winners included Latitude for Line-Up of the Year, Liverpool International Music Festival for Best Festival for Emerging Talent and Eroica Britannia for Best Non-Music Festival. Peter Gabriel also picked up The Outstanding Contribution to Festivals Award.
