Sir Elton John commented on playing Bestival 2013
'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 the Bestival audience comes in fancy dress and I can't wait to see that, they must all look amazing from the stage.'

He then went on to say
'2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, so you can expect to hear several tracks from that album. My shows always involve audience participation, singing and dancing, so make sure there is plenty of room for movement inside those fancy dress costumes!'

Rob Da Bank also commented on Bestival 2013
'So here we are... our tenth birthday.... like a small child proudly entering double figures... but here's Bestival still wearing ill fitting shorts and running around with grazed knees giggling in the sunlight... Happy Days!'

He also later said
'From one of the biggest selling artists of all time and certainly the best at fancy dress, Elton John, through the party blazing hip-hop of Snoop Dog through amazing rare shows from the likes of The Knife, to the newest of the bands and acts that I'm so excited about like Jagwar Ma, Merchandise and Cashmere Cats plus literally the finest selection of house and techno DJs we've ever had from Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox to Besti stalwarts Erol Alkan and Annie Mac - this will be our best Bestival yet, so don't miss out!'
