The uber family-focused 'festi-holiday' called 'Camp Bestival' is set within the stunning grounds of Dorset's Lulworth Castle and takes place July 25th - 28th 2019. The festival has secured headline acts such as Nile Rogers & Chic, Grandmaster Flash, A Skillz, Jess Glynne, Sister Sledge, The Human League and of course Mr Tumble! You may have guessed that Camp Bestival is the sister of the more adult focused festival Bestival which takes place on the same site.

3,2,1...Superheroes and heroines assemble! Today Camp Bestival reveal the second wave of interstellar headliners completing the line-up at the UK’s much loved biggest and best family festival in Lulworth Castle from the 25th – 28th July 2019.

Nile Rodgers & Chic will be bringing the good times as the Saturday night headliner, whilst BBC Radio 1 legend Annie Mac will take to the decks as the Sunday night, ending Camp Bestival with some boogie-worthy dance beats. Not forgetting the youngsters, pop duo & YouTube sensations, Max & Harvey will also perform a live set and Q&A on the Castle Stage.

Camp Bestival curators Josie and Rob da Bank say:
“We’re really proud to unveil two of the world’s biggest party starters in their own fields - Nile and Chic go back a long way with us and they’re going to have everyone dancing at Lulworth Castle. BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac is one of the UK’s best DJs, tastemakers and a mama to boot so we know she’s going to press all the right buttons. Josie and I really do strive to make Camp Bestival not only the best family festival out there but also the ultimate way to kick off your summer holidays. This year we’ve got some whacking great headliners and loads of amazing family activities, we will be prioritising our teens to keep ‘em happy with a new screen free area avoiding technology – The Wild Tribe. See you in the fields X”

Raving isn’t just for adults, the kids can also get down and dance with a set from Big Fish Little Fish and more acts including Mr Tumble, Mister Makes & The Shapes and CBBC favourites Sam & Mark.
