Snoop Dogg
Fans of Snoop Dogg, or Snoop Lion as he currently likes to be known, will be hoping he'll perform some new material.
The rapper is due to release a new reggae-themed album, Reincarnation, in 2013.
It's been partly produced by Diplo from Major Lazer.
Elton John's the Sunday headliner at Bestival
Festival is organised by Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank.
He said: "2013 will be a vintage year. Band and DJ-wise we've cast our net far and wide.
"[There's] no increase in capacity but more land, a raft of exciting changes around the site including some great new spaces and all dressed and made up in Bestival's signature style."
Each year has a different theme with this year's being nautical.
On his headline set, Elton John said: "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.
"Wearing fancy dress makes us all feel less inhibited so I think it's a great way to enjoy live music."
Others to perform across the weekend include Swedish duo The Knife, Bastille, Disclosure, Angel Haze, DJ Fresh and Rudimental.
Annie Mac and Julio Bashmore are among those scheduled for DJ sets.
2012's Bestival was headlined by Florence and The Machine, Stevie Wonder and New Order.
