Chic & Nile Rodgers have come on board as the final headliners for this year’s Bestival.
On the back of a resurgence in popularity after a massively successful collaboration with Daft Punk, the collective will join Foals, Beck, Outkast and many more on the Isle Of Wight this September.
“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,” Rodgers enthuses. “Expect an extra special Desert Island Disco set from myself and Chic! Looking forward to seeing you all in September.”
“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,” organiser Rob Da Bank adds. “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!”
