The first raft of names have been confirmed for next summer’s inaugural Camp Bestival event – a bill topped, so far, by the Flaming Lips and Chuck ‘fucking’ Berry.

Taking place at Lulworth Castle in Dorset from the 18th to the 20th of July, the festival will be making its debut after emerging from beneath the skirt of old mother Bestival.

A host of other names have also been announced - Billy Bragg, Suzanne Vega, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, the Wurzels, Ladyhawke, Florence and the Machine and more will all grace Dorset in July. Andy Weatherall will also man decks for a special ‘rock’n’roll’ set.

Adult tickets cost £120, while kids go half price! I feel dirty. Kids are 13-15 too, apparently, so if you’re 12 or under – result, it’s free.

Those tickets are limited to 10,000 and they’re on sale already from here. Alternatively, buy from here before the 20th of December to receive a Josie da Bank designed Christmas Card and a free copy of the ‘A to Z of Bestival’ 2xCD album.

The traditional Bestival event will still take place and it’ll still be on the Isle of Wight – tickets? Bestival.net for those.

Excellent :D

The same weekend as Latitude however. Decision time... :s


that actually looks

worth going to


Chuck Berry

Is still alive??


He's Eighty f**king One!

Unbelievable...


Christ.

That was brilliant until I spotted Billy Bragg's irritating name.


shirley

you like billy bragg....shirley, shirley!


lulworth??


I am..

..seriously considering this one. It's only 25 minutes drive away and in a beautiful area - when the weather's nice, Lulworth castle is awesome. Not to mention the farmyard area! Add a few more summer bands to this (BSP, Delays, Bat For Lashes etc) and this could be awesome. Yes!


Chuck fucking Berry

Will be so very good.
An absolute hero of mine.


I saw Chuck Berry

like 3 years ago. Very entertaining banter, but age (and possibly arthritis) has taken his guitar playing ability from him.

Either that or he just finds it funny to strum open A chords during the intro to Jonny B Goode and still get applauded for it.

I have no idea, but I do hope it's the second.
