A new performance area will also be in place at Bestival.
The Amphitheatre will be "nestled under a canopy of trees" and feature music, comedy, theatre and poetry.
Bestival was first held in 2004 and is organised by Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank.
Every year they encourage festival-goers and the artists to dress up - this year the theme is wildlife.
In recent years it has seen themes like fantasy, space, rock stars, pop stars and divas.
