As festival season is almost drawing to a close, we turn our attention to one of the last greenfield parties left to do: Bestival.

Rob da Bank's annual fancy dress spectacular kicks off on the Isle of Wight today for a weekend of mayhem and madness, so we've scoured the line-up to uncover the most eclectic selection of the 2013 festival season so far.

This year’s fancy dress theme is ‘nautical’, and there to join the seafaring revellers are Chic, The Flaming Lips and Elton John – all no strangers to dressing up themselves.

They’ll be supported by Lulu James, Franz Ferdinand, MIA, Peace, Wu-Tang Clan, James Blake, Rudimental, Disclosure, Matthew E White – and guess what? We feature all of them on this week's playlist!

So turn on and tuck in…
