Madness to headline Camp Bestival

Madness to headline Camp Bestival


Fresh from winning the coveted Family Festival Award at this year’s UK Festival Awards, Camp Bestival is all set to continue its crusade to bring back the Great British summer holiday with bells on, returning to the salubrious surrounds of Lulworth Castle for another jam-packed jaunt bursting with bountiful excitement for all the family.

Kicking off the first announcement for what is destined to be our most barnstorming jamboree yet, we are overjoyed to be welcoming the nutty boys, Madness, to our family feast of fun! Undoubtedly a national treasure, Madness, who are riding the crest of a critically acclaimed wave for their recent 'Liberty of Norton Folgate’ album, boast a back catalogue the envy of almost everybody, ever, their appeal knows no bounds so we can be assured of a rip-roaring knees up they take to the stage to play their Saturday night headline slot. Commenting on the set the band said: 'We love nothing more then a good old family knees up and if we get anywhere near the reception we got at Bestival in 2007 we'll feel like kings of Lulworth Castle.'

Synth-pop overlords The Human League will be gracing Lulworth Castle with a superlative selection of their anthemic tunes. One of Steel City’s most enduring bands, The Human League’s faultless body of work is still as breathtaking as ever, never failing to create an exceptionally electric atmosphere wherever they perform. Also joining Camp Bestival’s ever-eclectic line up will be the living embodiment of Funk, George Clinton with Parliament Funkadelic. Famed for the mind-bending, coruscating live sets that span his entire career, George Clinton is one of nature’s true one-offs and a real living legend. Current king of the pop tree, Calvin Harris will be invading the stage and your brain with his indelible hooks, a sure-fire guarantee to put a smile on your face and get your feet moving and all-conquering, MOBO Awards winning Chipmunk will be in the zone to keep on rhyming and shining, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.
