Fatboy Slim To Headline Bestival's 10th Anniversary Celebrations: 'You've Come A Long Way, Baby!'

'You've Come A Long Way, Baby!'

Get your dancing shoes on. Fatboy Slim has been announced as Bestival's final 2013 headline act.

The 'Praise You' DJ will throw Rob Da Bank's Isle of Wight music festival a huge 10th anniversary birthday bash on Friday 5 September, it has been announced. He will complete what is an eclectic headliner line-up, including Rocket Man Elton John and rap superstar Snoop Dogg.

Slim, aka Norman Cook, was one of the very first headliners at the inaugural Bestival in 2004.

"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. 12 months later I was headlining Bestival and ten years on, here I am again, throwing them the biggest birthday bash possible and sharing the main stage alongside Elton John and Snoop Dogg," he said in a statement.

"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!"

The big beat Brit Award-winning DJ will play an exclusive set, which he's dubbed 'Fatboy Slim's Bestival Birthday Bash', complete with mega-hits from 'Everybody Needs A 303' to 'Star 69 (What The F*ck)'.

Also taking to the stage at this year's festival will be MIA, Franz Ferdinand, Flaming Lips, The Knife, Wu-Tang Clan, Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Annie Mac Presents, and many more.
