THE energy levels surged at Bestival yesterday (Sunday) as Swedish singer Robyn bounced and thrust her way through a classy and energetic electro-pop performance.
Meanwhile, a genre-defying, boundary-pushing set by Bjork marked the end of Bestival 2011 on the main stage last night.
"These songs might not really have been written for festivals, but we don't care," said the Icelandic star, early in the set.
Performing tracks from her latest album Biophilia, the singer was backed by an impressive, ethereal choir and a selection of unusual instruments.
That was combined with an incredible visual show, with animations inspired by nature, on the big screens.
In the Big Top, Noah and the Whale attracted one of the biggest crowds of the day, while The Unthanks enjoyed a warm reaction from an appreciative audience.
The Bollywood Bar was rammed with fans keen to catch sets from the legendary Pete Tong, Fatboy Slim and Derrick Carter.
Islet and Maverick Sabre were among the ones to watch in the Psychedelic Worm and there was a huge crowd for Goldie Lookin' Chain, who with their full line-up filled the small stage of the Roller Disco.
The day ended with a spectacular ten-minute firework display by Two Tigers fireworks and parade featuring Herbert's Dream by performance artists Quidams, featuring giant glowing figures.
