" DJ and entrepreneur Rob da Bank has announced plans to take Bestival to North America and Europe. He is on the verge of signing a distribution deal to launch the festival in new territories through a partner organisation, The Sunday Telegraph reports.  The annual festival, which takes place on the Isle of Wight in September, will celebrate its tenth anniversary next month. &amp;quot;The deal has been a long time coming,&amp;quot; the festival organiser said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve never been in this industry for the money but now I&amp;#039;m 40 with three small kids, it&amp;#039;s time to get business minded.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve made a real impression on the festival market and pioneered a lot of ideas. People think Bestival pours multi-millions into my bank account every year and it doesn&amp;#039;t.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not a sob story but now it&amp;#039;s time to knuckle down a bit. My twenties and thirties were a total laugh but now I have to be responsible.&amp;quot; As well as plans to expand Bestival, da Bank - real name Robert John Gorham - has also launched Earworm, a new company that supplies soundtracks and bespoke scores for film, television, video games and advertising.  Outkast, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Beck and Foals will headline Bestival 2014, which takes place across the weekend of September 4-7. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
