More names have been announced for this years Camp Bestival Festival and it's safe to say that things are starting to look pretty good.
Friendly Fires have been confirmed to headline the Sunday night and other recent announcements come in the form of Billy Bragg, Nigel Godrich, Field Music, The Blockheads and Marc Almond. They join a host of other promising names including Madness, Mr Scruff, Joy Orbison, DJ Yoda, The Human League, The Fall, Calvin Harris, Pete And The Pirates and Mr Tumble (yes the children's TV sign-language clown presenter).
The Rob Da Bank-curated Festival takes place across July 30th - August 1st and the BBC DJ seems quite excited about this years incarnation. He said in a statement:
"Camp Bestival's third trip to the seaside is looking like a right old knees up - Friendly Fires have played almost every Bestival going so I'm delighted to see them coming to Camp, we've done loads of work on our arts and literary side and to have interview sessions with Andrea Arnold, Nigel Godrich and DJ Derek is ace."
