Bestival Announce Friday Night Headliner

Fatboy Slim has been confirmed as the Friday night headliner of Bestival’s upcoming tenth anniversary festival. He’ll be joining previously confirmed bill-toppers, Elton John and Snoop Dogg.

Rob da Bank comments: ‘I still can’t believe Bestival is gonna be ten… but it is and that’s great cos it means we get to go even more mental with our onsite creations and general madness.

‘We wanted to have a big moment for all our amazing crew and the beautiful Bestivalites whether they’ve been with us for the last decade or even just this year so we went back to one of our headliners from the first year and someone who’s supported us since our early days in clubland.

‘Yes ladies and gents, boys and girls roll up roll up for what will be the biggest spectacle in UK festival land as we unveil Fatboy Slim’s Bestival Birthday Bash.”

Elsewhere on the bill, you can find sets from M.I.A, Franz Ferdinand, The Flaming Lips, The Knife, Wu-Tang Clan, James Blake, Savages, Willy Moon, London Grammar, The Child Of Lov and Parquet Courts.

Belle & Sebastian, Jessie Ware, Disclosure, Johnny Marr, Bastille, Peace, The Walkman, Merchandise, Drenge and current DIY Weekly cover stars Swim Deep will also appear.

Isle Of Wight festival will take place at Robin Hill Country Park from 5th - 8th September. Tickets are on sale now.
