The festival season will be upon us very soon and Camp Bestival HQ are pretty excited to announce their latest news. Ed
We’re literally bursting with excitement at Camp Bestival HQ as we unleash the mother of all festi-holiday line ups and our brilliant Around The World theme!
Rob da Bank says: “Hip-hip hooray! Here we are reaching our 6th birthday. Crack out the jelly and ice cream, unroll the Twister board and cover me in sticky pop if I’m not more excited than ever to be announcing our all-ages extravaganza once more. As ever it’s a veritable smorgasbord of talent.
“Music-wise people are always asking for more guitars so we have Richard Hawley, Levellers and Billy Bragg, pop and dance is represented by heavyweights Labrinth and DJ Fresh and we’re mega chuffed rising stars Gabrielle Aplin and Tom Odell have chosen to come to the Camp. Throw in some legends like Toots And The Maytals, Musical Youth and Kid Creole and we’re pretty confident everyone will be dancing on the grass!”
More than music
Camp Bestival is about so much more than the Main Stage and we are really pleased to welcome Mr Tumble back as well as a festival exclusive from Horrible Histories and Erth’s Dinosaur Zoo, whilst top comedian Alan Davies is joining us for the first time.
Around The World
Our theme for 2013 – Around The World – is a truly global, magical mystery tour of faraway lands from Indian circuses to Italian pop-up restaurants and Belgian ska bands. Roll up, roll up for the Greatest Show On Earth!
Live music, DJ sets and musical theatre
There really is a bounteous medley of aural action across the weekend for young and old too, with live sets from bass behemoth DJ Fresh, reggae giants Toots And The Maytals who will be bringing the musical sunshine plus choral symphonic-popsters The Polyphonic Spree who will not only be treating the Castle Stage crowd to their own infectious grooves, but will also be performing a very special Rocky Horror Show set in all its singalong glory!
