Who is in the Bestival 2017 line-up, are there still tickets available and is it on TV?
Bestival is back with a new venue in Dorset and this year's theme is The Year of Colour
BESTIVAL is back, with some of the best in the music business taking to the stages at the award-winning music festival on the South coast.
But who is headlining this year and can you catch the festival on telly if you didn't get a ticket?
When is Bestival?
People have packed up their wellies and camping essentials as the event kicked off on Thursday.
This year's Bestival runs until Sunday September 10.
Camp sites will remain open until Monday for those braving tents during the music event.
Where is Bestival?
For the first time, Bestival is being held on The Lulworth Estate in Dorset, which the event describes as “an enchanting, wooded country estate on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.”
This is the same site that is used for the sister event, Camp Bestival, which is a smaller, more family-oriented version of Bestival.
The sister event has won awards for being the Best Family Festival in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014.
Who is in the Bestival 2017 line-up?
Headliners include British music stars The XX and Pet Shop Boys, as well as hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest.
Also performing are UK rapper Dizzee Rascal, Jamie T, Little Dragon, Rag’N’Bone Man, Annie Mac and Laura Mvula.

Are there still tickets for Bestival?
Tickets remained on sale even after the festival started for those hoping to nab a last-minute bite of the action.
You could buy an adult weekend ticket for £195 , which works out at £206 with a booking fee.
This option is available for camping tickets and non-camping tickets.
There were also student weekend tickets available for £196 including booking fee and teen tickets (13-17) for £136.85.
Can you watch Bestival on TV?
Sadly there isn’t going to be a live stream of Bestival this year, so watching content on the account may be your best bet.
You can listen to the action on Radio One, which will be broadcasting live from 7pm.
On the show, there will be takeovers by Annie Mac, High Contrast, Ray Blk, Metrik, Dynamite MC and Logan Sama.
