Fatboy Slim to headline 10th anniversary of Bestival
Isle of Wight weekender, Bestival turns ten years of age this summer, with a host of special celebrations planned for the occasion. One such surprise was announced aboard the festival’s take over of HMS President at London’s Victoria Embankment last night, with Fatboy Slim revealed as the Friday night headliner.
With Elton John and Snoop Dogg already confirmed to top the Saturday and Sunday bills, organiser and Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank unveiled the British producer as the third big name act at the launch last night, with Norman Cook going back to back with Rob Da Bank in an on-boat set.
Fatboy Slim was originally one of the headliners for Bestival’s first outing back in 2004 and returns to the Robin Hill Park event, which takes place between 5-8 September and is being billed as ‘HMS Bestival’, with a nautical theme planned.
Other artists set to appear at Bestival include MIA, Flaming Lips, The Knife, Wu Tang Clan and more.
