Nile Rodgers and Chic are closing Bestival 2014.
The legendary band have been chosen to headline the UK festival on the Sunday evening (07.09.14) and they are "excited" to have been bestowed the honour.
'Le Freak' hitmaker Nile commented: "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."
The disco group - who are currently working on a new album - will join fellow headliners OutKast, Beck and Foals at the Isle of Wight-based event, which boasts a tropical Desert Island Disco theme this year.
Rob da Bank, the festival's organiser, enthused: "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!"
The Bestival 2014 line-up also includes the likes of Sam Smith, Disclosure, Major Lazer and Busta Rhymes.

Mary Berry doesn't keep in touch with 'The Great British Bake Off' contestants.
The 78-year-old star, who judges the BBC baking competition with Paul Hollywood, says she doesn't want to appear to be picking favourites among the contestants and so chooses not to correspond with them after they leave the show.
She explained: "It would be nice to still be in touch but I made the decision at the outset that if I was in touch with one person and told them their book was good, another could say, 'But Mary has never contacted me.' It's lovely to see them at the BBC Good Food Show when we all meet up. It's like your children. You love your children equally. I love everyone who has been on 'Bake Off'."
However, the TV cook is good friends with 'Bake Off' hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, whom she regularly keeps in touch with even when the series isn't filming.
Mary told new! magazine: "They bring out lots of humour, and away from filming we're always playing pranks on set! Paul loves his cars and once we took away his keys. I didn't actually take them, but I was very encouraging for it to happen!"

Millie Mackintosh doesn't hang out with her old 'Made in Chelsea' co-stars.
The 24-year-old beauty quit the E4 reality show last year and although she insists there is no bad feeling between herself and her former castmates, she doesn't speak to them very often.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I wouldn't say I'm not friends with them. I don't call them up and say, 'Hey let's hang out', but if I bumped into them I'd say hi."
Millie is grateful for the show because of the opportunities it has given her.
She added: "Doing the show was such a good opportunity for me because it opened so many doors."
And Millie - who is married to Professor Green - went on to hint she is launching her own fashion line.
She said: "I can't give too much away but I feel very lucky now I'm in a position where I'm in the process of designing. I'm definitely heading in the direction of creating my own clothing line."
Millie's passion for fashion has come further since leaving the show as high-end designers are more willing to lend her items.
She said: "It's really nice to have such amazing brands wanting me to wear their clothes. When I first started out, literally no one wanted to dress me. It's the reality TV tag. I find it disappointing but I understood there was stigma attached. I find it less and less now."

Jimmy Kimmel is set to become a father for the third time.
The chat show host and his wife Molly McNearney are expecting their first child together, with the TV personality revealing the exciting news on an episode of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' airing this Wednesday (26.02.14).
Amid cheers from the studio audience, he announced: "I'm having a baby . . . wait I want to finish . . . with Ellen. No, I decided to have the first one with my wife. We got married in July and, you know, it's interesting. It's disgusting the way babies are made."
Ellen replied: "Good for you. And why is it disgusting?"
Jimmy, 46, joked: "Well, there are so many human body parts involved. Did you know there are eggs in us? That's gross just to start with."
The funnyman tied the knot with his long-time love Molly, a writer on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', last July.
He already has children Katie and Kevin with his ex-wife Gina, who he split from in 2002, but is worried he is out of practice when it comes to looking after babies.
Jimmy explained: "I have a 20-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter, and I've really forgotten everything. It's funny because I was just with some friends who just had a baby, I was like, 'Oh yeah.' And there's new ways to do things. You hold them by the front of the neck now it seems."
The couple are planning to find out the sex of the baby before the birth, even though Jimmy originally wanted it to be a surprise.
Jimmy said: "I would like it to be a surprise and my wife, Molly, was happy with that idea until about a week ago she started saying we really need to find out. But I don't think it matters.
"I don't think you need to make the baby's room blue or pink I mean it's kind of - it's inherently ridiculous. I don't think they could even see colours, right? I mean, or is that dogs I'm thinking of?"

Simon Cowell was given a police warning for bringing his dogs to the beach.
The 'X Factor' judge caused a scene while holidaying in Miami with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their baby son Eric when he was cautioned for walking his beloved Yorkshire Terriers, Squiddly and Diddly, in a pet-free zone.
Simon was spotted cosying up to Lauren on a sunlounger on Miami Beach during 11 day old Eric's first visit to the seaside, with his pet pooches roaming freely around them and one even licking the tiny tot's face.
When the music mogul decided to stretch his legs along the Bal Harbour resort waterfront, a police officer arrived to give him a ticking off for ignoring a sign which clearly stated no dogs were allowed on the beach.
The 54-year-old star escaped with a written warning and looked relieved since the offence usually results in a $200 fine.
An onlooker told the MailOnline: "[Simon] told them he would not do it again and seemed happy that he got away with a telling off."
The TV personality was later seen grinning and posing for pictures with a crowd of admiring women.
This comes after Simon hired a dog expert named Edward Alava to ensure the puppies - who he adopted in October - were able to adjust to the newborn's arrival.
A source said: "Edward advised Simon on how to familiarise the dogs to Eric, telling Simon to put one of Eric's blankets in the pup's basket so they could get used to the newborn's smell."

Jason Dohring says Hollywood fight scenes are "scrappy".
The 31-year-old actor - who will reprise the role of Logan in the big screen adaptation of 'Veronica Mars' - admits he might "wind up on the ground" in a scene which he is filming.
Talking to collider.com, he said: "I've never been in a fight, proper. I've been hit a couple times, just by a friend who was very upset or push and pull. But it's scary, man. I was watching some fights leading up to this, because you see acting fights, and then you see a real fight, and you're like, 'Dude, that's different. That's ugly.'
"Like, there's a lot of uncertainty, and in Hollywood it's just like you hit me, I hit you. It's scrappy, you could wind up on the ground, there's a lot of misses -- and I think we're gonna have something closer to that in the scene we're gonna film."
Although Dohring was reluctant to say why they were filming a bust-up he admits he stepped in when titular character Veronica Mars is in trouble.
He added: "There's some mistreatment of Veronica. That's not acceptable, etcetera."

Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner was "nervous" delivering his BRITs acceptance speech.
The frontman, whose band picked up awards for Best Group and Best Album for their record 'AM' last week, ranted on stage that rock 'n' roll will "never die" but claims he was just worried about speaking in front of a large audience.
He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "In public I'm a quiet guy, so doing anything in front of lots of people always makes me nervous.
"I'm known for my music, not how well I deliver a speech. People always assume if you're in a band that's been on the scene for ages that you're going to be really confident, but that's not true at all."
The band - including Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley and Matt Helders - also performed on the night, after which Alex, 28, accepted the accolades.
He told the crowd: "Rock'n' roll, it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time, sink back into the swamp. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules.
He added: "But it's always waiting there, just around the corner, ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever."

Mel C has confessed she gets "lonely" since her 10-year relationship ended.
The 40-year-old singer has been single since splitting from Thomas Starr, the father of her five-year-old daughter Scarlet, 18 months ago, and though she was "relieved" when their relationship ended, she admits life alone can be tough.
She said: "At first it was hard because obviously when a relationship comes to an end there are reasons for that.
"Initially I was just quite relieved we had taken that step and changed the environment.
"But as time goes on, there are times when it's tough, whether it's night time or disciplining - certain things when you're on your own, no matter how much help you get, can feel quite lonely."
Former Spice Girls star Mel - who has been linked with DJ Greg Burns and singer Matt Cardle since splitting from Thomas - is open to falling in love again, but will always put her daughter before a man.
Speaking to the new UK issue of HELLO! magazine, she said: "I've had some fun times being single, but it would be nice to meet someone now. It's really hard to meet someone though and being a single mum complicates things. I don't want to introduce Scarlet to someone inappropriate or who I'm not sure about.
"I'd really like to meet someone who had a similar lifestyle or balance to me - who likes having fun, but is into exercise and nutrition."

Amanda Seyfried will star in 'Ted 2'.
The actress has been cast as the girlfriend of lead character John Bennett, played by Mark Wahlberg.
The same role was taken by Mila Kunis in the first film - which saw her character, Lori, marry John at the end - but she will only have a small role, or will not appear at all in the sequel, according to Deadline.com.
The reason for the change of female lead has been put down to a creative decision by Seth MacFarlane, the movie's creator, who will produce, write and co-star in the sequel as the titular character, a foul-mouthed teddy bear who has been brought to life by John.
'Les Miserables' star Amanda has previously said she will go to great lengths to get film roles, and is not above "begging" for a part she wants
She said: "Three years ago, a director told me I wasn't made for a certain role and he didn't want to meet me. I called up the casting director and begged him to let me have a trial. I went and he once again told me it was a no.
"I contacted an acting coach, which I never normally do, and went back in a different outfit and did the audition in a different accent, begging them to see me another time. They gave the role to someone else: but it didn't matter, I just wanted to be sure I had done my best. It's my biggest strength: not being scared of doing castings that some actresses think they're above. I had five auditions for 'Les Miserables'! Of course, I would never go as far as getting undressed to land a role."

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton's marriage was "unravelling for a long time".
The 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' actress and her husband of almost nine years announced they have separated yesterday (24.02.14), but friends claim they predicted the split.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "It has been a long time coming. It is not a shock to Robin or Paula, and it is something they have discussed for a long time."
Another insider said: "Their marriage was unravelling for a long time."
Rumours that Robin had cheated on his wife date back as far as last August, but none have ever been acknowledged by the 'Blurred Lines' star. Notably, he was photographed with his hand on the bottom of a fan, Lana Scolaro, in September, and she claimed he had also kissed her at the same party in New York City.
Robin, 36, and Paula, 38, had put on a united front despite the rumours, making frequent public appearances together.
Speaking to Prestige Hong Kong magazine last September, Paula said of her husband: "I've been there for his down moments and he's been there for mine. Life is full of peaks and valleys. Robin has always been a great person to remind me to celebrate now."
The couple - who have a three-year-old son, Julian Fuego Thicke - said in a statement announcing their split they will always "be best friends," but "have mutually decided to separate at this time."

Miley Cyrus would rather "choke on her own tongue" than appear in 'Peter Pan'.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer read in a magazine how her short hairstyle makes her the perfect choice to play the fairy Tinker Bell from J.M. Barrie's book 'Peter Pan' - which is currently being adapted into a new movie - but she wasn't impressed.
She posted a picture of the article on Twitter and wrote next to it: "I would rather choke on my own tongue."
Miley, 21, is currently on her Bangerz Tour, which came to Los Angeles on Saturday (22.02.14) and proved an eventful night. After spotting fellow singer Katy Perry in the front row, she went over to her and they briefly locked lips.
'Dark Horse' singer Katy shared a photograph taken as they pulled away from each other on Twitter, which showed Miley with her mouth hanging open in shock while she covered her own mouth with her hand, with the caption: "And after! I adore you @Miley Cyrus."
Miley's butt shaking and revealing outfits have attracted criticism for being too raunchy for her young fan base, but she hit back against the claims last week.
She tweeted on Thursday (20.02.14): "You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour (sic)"
The tweet was accompanied by a picture of Miley on stage in a revealing outfit exposing her bottom.
She also quipped: "Save your complaints for the McDonalds drive thru when they forget the 'fries with that' (sic)"
