Freddie Mercury CostumeYes, we’re not making this up! This year’s fancy dress competition at Bestival will be judged by none other than the ultra cool and camp 70’s super band the Village People! So get yourself ready to fling your arms in the air, YMCA style!

This year’s Bestival festival, which is taking place at the Robin Hill Country Park from the 8th to 11th September, will be based around the fantastic Rock Stars, Pop Stars and Divas theme. It’s a cracking theme for this year’s competition and is a great excuse for you to glam up and camp up!

If you’re heading to Besitval this September and are looking for some inspiration, here are a few ideas for your fancy dress costume. First, take a browse through our 70’s Costumes and 80’s Costumes ranges- you’re sure to find something fabulous that will ignite a healthy dose of nostalgia for your youth! If you’re after that Diva look then why not be controversial and go for this eyebrow-raising Madonna Style Costume.

Lads, if you’re looking to emulate rock star royalty then there is no bigger rock icon to take on than Freddie Mercury. The official licensed Freddie Mercury Costume is based on Freddie’s iconic costume worn at their world famous 1986 tour! Just remember to grow a moustache, or (much easier) buy a fake one!

Whatever costume you decide to wear, make sure you wear it with pride and gusto, and have plenty of fun!
