The second day of Bestival was brought to an epic climax by Snoop Dogg and Franz Ferdinand, as the Saturday of the Isle Of Wight bash enjoyed a day of sunshine yesterday (Saturday 7 September).
Taking to the main stage before a backdrop of his face, Snoop Dogg headlined the Saturday night with a hit-packed set that united Robin Hill County Park in a deep, 90 minute bounce. With a set that included 'Drop It Like It's Hot' and a cover of Katy Perry's 'California Gurls', Snoop ended day two with a brilliant celebration.
Prior to the rapper taking to the stage, Franz Ferdinand delivered a tight and headline-worthy set that saw the Scottish four-piece fire through fan favourites and hit singles as Bestival danced its way hard into the darkness.

Other highlights of the day included Rudimental ending their summer festival season in a brilliantly explosive style, Bastille attracting a fair amount of wild teens to their performance, The Roots playing a sun-soaked set of soul and funk on the main stage and Johnny Marr pulling an impressive crowd to the Big Top tent for a raucous performance of Smiths classics and cuts from his solo album, The Messenger.
The final day of the event has already seen Bestival favourites The Dub Pistols play a mind-blowing set on the main stage. Following a lively and hilarious yoha demonstration, Barry Ashworth and co tore Robin Hill County Park apart with a skank-filled, victorious set that proves why they have such a standing as veterans and festival kings.
Bestival continues today with performances from Elton John, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Tom Odell, Angel Haze, Angel Haze, James Blake and many more. Check back at Gigwise for the latest news, reviews and photos from Bestival 2013.
