Chic ft. Nile Rodgers to headline Bestival

Chic ft. Nile Rodgers have been announced as the last headliner for this year's Bestival.

The Isle of Wight festival is due to take place over September 4-7 and Outkast, Foals and Beck were previously announced to headline.

It has now been confirmed that Chic ft. Nile Rodgers will top the bill on the Sunday night (September 7).

Speaking about the announcement in a statement, the legendary guitarist said: "I'm so excited to be back at Bestival, this time in the prestigious Sunday night headliner slot following legends Stevie Wonder and Elton John. Expect an extra special Desert Island Disco set from myself and Chic! Looking forward to seeing you all in September."

Festival organiser Rob Da Bank added: "Ever since I first booked Chic and Nile for Bestival a few years back they have hands down been the best live band we’ve ever had at Bestival and Camp Bestival. And once people start realising how many hits Nile has written and produced for artists ranging from Madonna and David Bowie through to Daft Punk’s Get Lucky you realise this is just one huge disco jukebox that is gonna keep firing out the hits all night! I’m over the moon that Nile and the crew are going to wrap up our Desert Island Disco Finale with a damn funky, glittery bang. Everybody Dance!"

Tickets for the event are on sale now.
