Bestival is to offer an olive brach to fans not lucky enough to get tickets to the festival this year by streaming everything that happens online as well.
The festival, which takes place on the Isle of Wight next weekend (September 7-9), will live stream everything from the Main Stage and Big Top via YouTube.
This means fans at home will be able to catch headline performances from Florence + The Machine, New Order and Stevie Wonder as well as festival treats from The xx, Sigur Ros, Friendly Fires, Justice, Two Door Cinema Club and Hot Chip amongst many more.
Bestival organiser Rob Da Bank recently spoke to Gigwise, telling us how his event would never see acts getting bottled a la Cher Lloyd at V Festival this year.
"When the first bottle of piss is thrown at Bestival I might just hang up my headphones and give up," Rob da Bank told Gigwise. "There's never an excuse for bottling an artist at a festival. Not even in a joking way."
"I've been at Oasis concerts and seen bottles of piss thrown around and it's not a pleasant experience. That's awful for an artist."
