Lily Allen is the latest name to be announced at the top end of this year's Bestival lineup. The cheeky singer will showcase her number one album It's Not Me, It's You at the Isle of Wight this summer.

She is joined by other new announcements including La Roux, Jack Penate and Just Jack, as well as a special DJ set from Orbital, with all of the acts set to be in Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight between September 11th and 13th.

Lily will not simply be doing her set and hopping back on the ferry home though, she is getting into the Bestival spirit by judging a new fancy dress competition very month in the run up to the event.

Festival supremo Rob da Bank stated: "Lily Allen chipped up at Bestival 2006 just as she was becoming massive, donned a full rabbit fancy dress outfit with massive pink ears, completely nailed the crowd and hung out all weekend having fun.

"So I'm delighted she's coming back to do all it again with another brilliant number one album under her belt and not only that but she's going to judge all your outfits before you even arrive in our Outer Space fancy dress comp!"

Kraftwerk and Massive Attack are the headliners already announced for the end of the festival season bash, but one huge act is still being kept under wraps by the Bestival team.
