But while the festival is having a bright beginning, the rest of the weekend is forecast to be plagued by rain.

On Friday night 'Praise You' DJ Fatboy Slim will throw a huge 10th anniversary birthday bash.

He told The Huffington Post UK: "It’s an absolute honour to return for this momentous occasion – staying creative and independent in these times."

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)'.
