The magical Camp Bestival returns on July 31st
Other | Saturday 12th July 2014 | Osh
Known as the “little sister” to Bestival, Camp Bestival is also organized by ex BBC Radio 1 DJ, Rob Da Bank. Starting out in 2008, this family friendly festival has played host to some of the most influential, genre-shaping artists of our time. With this year theme set to be “Desert Island Disco”, you can all get ready to do the hula with headliners, Basment Jaxx, De La Soul and James with other acts to include MNEK, Laura Mvula, Wilkinson and the infamous, Chas & Dave!
Held in the serene and magical Lulworth Castle, this beautiful setting is ideally nestled by the beautiful Dorset coastline giving Camp Bestival an enchanting backdrop when they roll into town on the 31st of July.
As ever, the Camp Bestival team are constantly innovating and curating new and exciting aspects to their festival and this year is no different, as they have recently announced a new area dedicated solely to 13 – 17 yr olds. It’s a micro-festival within a festival - showcasing new and emerging talent; from artists to DJs, comedians to authors, talks to techno and much more. Created in conjunction with The Roundhouse, and sitting alongside Rob da Bank’s Music Club, it’s the first area of its kind curated by a team of young festival producers.
The Den’s genre-swerving line-up won’t disappoint, either - whether its contemporary folk, live drum & bass or house that rings your bell, you better come prepared to hear some future stars. There will be live sets from founders of brand new genre Fip Fok, CoCo and the Butterfields, Cornish surfer and singer songwriter Nathan Ball, live drum & bass four-piece Animal House, the darkly melodic Fran Lobo, R&B pop force Karyma Ellis, Uke warriors Medina Ukulele Orchestra, nu-soulster Christen Kwama, acoustic troubadour Ali Gauld, multi-genre rap artist Shadow, classically trained Tyler Rix and party hip-hoppers Too Many T’s . Plus there will be DJ sets from Pharaoh K & Absynth, DJ Lukey, SGI DJs, Rats In Me Kitchen, Stanley Hood, Hadda and Erol Sabadosh.
Andy Robb, author, actor and all round hero will be talking about his novel, Geekhood, and The Den is lucky enough to be playing host to an award winning selection of Roundhouse Associate Artists including Poetry Slam winner Antosh Wojcik. If you want to hear about Fashion journalism from the Editor in Chief of The Cool Fashion, see 21 Ukuleles play simultaneously or try Yoga with a disco twist, then you’re in luck because The Den’s playing host to a range of bizarre and wonderful things!
The Den’s curators have hand-picked some of the best bits of The Guardian Literary Institute, and special guests from around the festival exclusively for 13-17s. To top all that The Amazing Corner will be spreading their positivity over the area; screening films, performing main stage takeovers and hosting open mic performances. And, if that’s not enough, there’s the 10-piece Roundhouse brass band thrown in for good measure.
But don’t just take our word for it, if you want the 411 on everything that’s in store before you head down to Camp Bestival, The Den has its own Facebook page and Twitter; you know what to do - like and follow for all the action.
And when you get to Camp Bestival, head over to The Den to lose yourself in new music and try something life changing…who knows, you could be on the line-up next year!
