Win a Cure guitar & a lifetime's supply of tickets!   

It's getting close now! With only four weeks to go, we can hardly bear the excitement, the Bestival weekend promises to be utterly amazing! If you want to come and join us on the Isle of Wight, you have to be quick as there are very few tickets remaining! To get you in the mood, check out these exclusive competitions and the incredible prizes on offer...

Win a Cure Guitar at Bestival

Bestival has teamed up with The Cure and Schecter to offer an exclusively designed guitar to three lucky winners. The guitar of choice for Robert Smith, these beauties have been specially pimped in honour of The Cure’s Bestival 2011 appearance and will be signed by the man himself!

Robert Smith told us: "The UltraCure limited edition Bestival Curetoon Schecter is the grooviest guitar in the world!" 

While Schecter Guitars say: “We are proud to partner with The Cure for this amazing event!  These UltraCure guitars are adorned with special Curetoon/Bestival art which are destined to be a collector's item. The UltraCure, designed by Robert Smith has been his main guitar for both the stage and studio for the past 5 years!”

Robert Smith will draw three names 'out of a hat' backstage just prior to The Cure's Saturday night headline performance, and the Curetoon Schecter guitars will be shipped to the winners once Bestival 2011 has ended. 

To win, simply text ‘Cure Guitar’ followed by the answer A, B or C to 70099. 

What time do The Cure dream?

A) Midnight

B) Noon

C) 4:13 

Texts will cost £2, you can enter as many times as you like and best of all, the dosh will be donated to the charity lovecats of Ataxia UK, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and St Catherine's on the Isle of Wight.

David Hodo, the "Construction Worker" of Village People told us: "Village People dress up in costumes every time we go on stage.  It will be fun to judge other people who get dressed up also. We are so looking forward to being judges at the competition for Bestival 2011."

While Bestival head-hippie Rob da Bank says: "Righto folks its time to get your needle and thread out, dust down your wigs and get your brains into gear for the fancy dress theme, Rock Stars, Pop Stars and Divas. Bestival kicked off the whole theming of festivals 8 years ago and i'm really proud that everyone still make the efforts to get escapist and lose themselves in some crazy gear all weekend. This year The Village People are waiting to see your creations in advance and the winner gets a lifetime supply of tickets to Bestival and I’ll be personally checking you've all made the effort for the parade on Saturday afternoon.
