Will Young joins Animal Magic @ Camp Bestival
- Mar 20, 2009
Will Young is among the new additions to this year's Camp Bestival lineup, while the much-anticipated fancy dress theme has also been unveiled.Festival-goers heading to the Dorset event will be dressing up to the theme of Animal Magic on July 24th, 25th and 26th. This could mean some creature creations or David Blaine-inspired idiocy; we're not sure, but it sounds fun.
Organiser Rob Da Bank shed some light, but not too much, on the brilliant beast bonanza: "Read into that what you will... unicorns, bears, elephants, Scooby Doos, Johnny Morris look-alikes and Paul Daniels impersonators will all be very welcome to join our dressing up parade on Sunday afternoon. Roll on July!"
Also added are Phoenix, along with hotly-tipped Mumford & Sons, Baddies, Tinchy Stryder, Kid Carpet and many more.
They join a line-up headed by the mesmerising PJ Harvey, Bon Iver, Laura Marling, Mercury Rev, plus the fantastically foul-mouthed Frankie Boyle and the DJ expertise of Erol Alkan and Boys Noise.
If it all sounds very tempting but the credit crunch is putting paid to any festival fun this summer, CampBestival has a plan. It has launched a new ticketing initiative that allows people to pay over three monthly instalments. Isn't that nice.
Here's the line-up so far in full. Oh, did we mention it's held at a castle?
