DJ guru Fatboy Slim will be wowing the crowds at Bestival with his famous beats, it has been announced.
The Praise You song artist – whose real name is Norman Cook – will be on the main stage as Friday night’s headline act as part of the 10 year celebratory festival on the Isle of Wight.
He will be returning to the festival after being one of the very first headliners at the inaugural event in 2004.
Fatboy Slim said: “It was at Glastonbury 2003 where I closed the Sunday Best stage for Rob da Bank that I first saw the glint in his eye to create his own festival.
“Twelve months later I was headlining the first Bestival and 10 years on, here I am again, throwing them the biggest birthday bash possible and sharing the main stage alongside Elton John and Snoop Dogg.
“It’s an absolute honour to return for this momentous occasion – staying creative and independent in these times. You’ve come a long way, baby!”
Warsash-raised festival organiser Rob da Bank said: “I still can’t believe Bestival is going to be 10. But it is, and that’s great because it means we get to go even more crazy with our on-site creations and general madness.
Bestival’s spectacular 10th birthday bash is on from September 5 to 8.
