Iconic singer songwriter Elton John will also celebrate his 40th anniversary in the music industry, since the release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, with a glitzy and glamorous show to close the festivities. He promised to include some of the tracks from the album he made in 1969.
With record sales of 250 million for over four decades, the singer is excited to see the festival's audience in their nautical-themed outfit.
Sir Elton John commented, "I haven't played any of the major festivals in the UK in recent years, so when the opportunity to play Bestival came up I was very interested. I've heard that the Bestival audience comes in fancy dress and I can't wait to see that, they must all look amazing from the stage."
He also talked about the different feathered head-dresses, the hot pants, cloaks, clown suits, jumpsuits, as well as the French Maid and Minnie Mouse costumes which he has worn in the past. For him, one way to enjoy live music is to wear fancy dresses as it somehow lessens inhibition.
It was remembered that in 2012's celebration, 25-time Grammy award winner Stevie Wonder headlined the event, along with famous British singer Florence Welch.
