Outkast have been confirmed as this year's first Bestival headliner.

The US duo will top the bill at the Isle of Wight festival, which is taking place this year between September 4-7.

Organiser Rob da Bank commented: "Hey ya! By the power invested in me as chief Bestival booker, I'm pretty darn excited to announce that Outkast are headlining Bestival this year!"

"We've fought hard to get the recently reunited legendary hip-hop duo onto the ferry... and it's no ordinary ferry this year as Bestival goes Desert Island Disco for 2014… Palm trees, grass skirts and mirrorballs are the order of the day. It truly is gonna be the Bestival yet!"

Outkast have reunited this year for a number of festival shows, with a date at Coachella one of their biggest previously announced gigs.

They were today (January 28) also confirmed to play at this year's Wireless Festival, which is taking place in London and Birmingham in July.
