As recent tradition dictates, the festival's Theatre & Circus area has shared the tutorial for its flashmob dance this year and it features the 1978 disco hit Le Freak by Nile Rodgers & Chic.

A Instagram post shared by festival organisers last week announced the news in a clip which showed of the basic moves of the dance, which come from choreographer Lauren Filer and her team.

Nile Rodgers takes to the stage ahead of Rod Stewart at the festival, who will play the Sunday Legends slot this year.

According to the Everybody Dance legend, he's been friends with Sir Rod for quite some time and believes the crooner is likely to cause some mayhem backstage."

"Rod and I have been friends for 80 gazillion years, so that means he’s gonna play tricks on me," he added. "He’s probably gonna pinch my bum, because he always does that. I don’t know what the hell he gets out of that."

"We’re gonna have a great time together," he went on. "I don’t know who’s in his current band, but we’ll probably be jamming. Regardless of what the world may think, Rod Stewart and I, we really love each other. We really are quite close".
