We’re so excited to headline Camp Bestival this summer. We’ve always heard amazing things about this festival in particular, so look forward to seeing everyone there! – Sugababes
Entering their 17th year, Camp Bestival will also play host to acts including indie rock faves LIGHTNING SEEDS and THE ZUTONS, plus DJ ANNIE MAC (fresh from her Before Midnight sessions) and drum and bass legend GOLDIE who will be performing with his full live band. The original Queen of reggae Dawn Penn will be joined by rising stars NIEVE ELLA and MIA KIRKLAND plus Isle of Wight indie upstarts THE PILL. And bringing a touch of the Eras tour will be MISS AMERICANA: A TRIBUTE TO TAYLOR SWIFT. Also appearing over the weekend will be ska legends DUB PISTOLS, Palestinian singer-songwriter BASHAR MURAD, MC GRAMMAR, DREADZONE and BBC 6 Music’s CHRIS HAWKINS who will be bringing his Indie Disco to the Lulworth Estate.
The fun continues with a sensational lineup of family favourites to delight crowds over a jam-packed four days in the spectacular grounds of Lulworth Castle, hosting top class family entertainment from ANDY AND THE ODD SOCKS, plus everyone’s family favourite MR TUMBLE and the master of all things craft MISTER MAKER, plus back with their story time tent will be CBEEBIES BEDTIME STORIES and HORRIBLE HISTORIES with the hit show GORGEOUS GEORGIANS & VILE VICTORIANS.

In over 20 years of booking Bestival and Camp Bestival we’ve always wanted to have Sir Tom Jones gracing our stage and finally the man himself has agreed to belt out Delilah for us! Josie and I have been mates with Basement Jaxx since they started, and we think they’re the best live dance act so get ready for the most colourful show of the year, and Sugababes will be one hell of a party! As ever it’s not all about the headliners and I think we’ve got our strongest DJ lineup ever – from Annie Mac to Erol Alkan, Congo Natty to Greg Wilson plus some of the best live acts about The Zutons, Lightning Seeds, the man like Goldie with his Drum & Bass attack live, plus family knees-ups with Barrioke, Mr Tumble, Horrible Histories and Dick and Dom.. and that’s barely scratching the surface.. see you in August for a whole lot more! – Rob & Josie da Bank
The lineup also includes an exclusive takeover on the Bollywood stage by Back To Mine: featuring EROL ALKAN, DAVE SEAMAN, LOTTIE, SYNCIA, LOUIS CAN’T MIX and CENTRL , plus a collection of DJs past and present including Camp Bestival’s favourite DAVID ‘RAM JAM’ RODIGAN, AIDAN HAMMOND (fresh from his brand-new TV programme with mum, Alison) and a Hot Cakes Takeover: featuring CONGO NATTY, ED SOLO, KAYA FYAH & JESSI G-SHELLZ.
Elsewhere on the lineup, families can expect to join in with National Treasure JOSIE GIBSON, some ‘primary school bangers’ from the King of school assembly JAMES PARTRIDGE, plus pop sensation IRAINA MANCINI and the sparkly, delightful disco diva VANITY FAIRY. Bringing some more joy will be the electrifying Daft Punk tribute act DAFT FUNK LIVE and closing the Big Top will be a karaoke takeover from BARRIOKE (aka TV icon Sean Williamson). If that wasn’t enough, canine legends DOGSHOW are back by popular demand, along with CIRQUE DU SOUL DJs who will be firing up the tunes whilst the BRISTOL NORTHERN SOUL CLUB bring the moves.
The 2025 festi-holiday will also see Camp Bestival host the world’s biggest PYJAMA PARTY on Saturday 2nd August, encouraging all our families to embrace the dressing up theme and rock up in their PJs for some very special fun and games including a debut back-to-back DJ set from ROB DA BANK and Rugby legend JOE MARLER.
