FAMILY favourite Camp Bestival will return to Lulworth Castle this summer with headline sets from McFly, Paloma Faith and Pete Tong.

Day tickets for the popular festival are now on sale with line-ups for each day also announced.

Kicking off on Friday 26th July, there will be a headline main stage performance from pop favourites McFly, with Big Top headliners including the iconic electronic duo Orbital live, the original Reggae selector David Rodigan, and all-round family favourite Gok Wan. Rock band the Magic Numbers and hip-hop star Hak Baker will also be taking to the stage.

On Saturday, pop queen Paloma Faith will make her Camp Bestival debut, and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears will also feature in the evening line-up. The Darkness will take the crowd through hits such as I Believe in a Thing Called Love, while the Amy Winehouse Band will play through the icon’s multitude of hits.

Up-and-coming 16-year-old singer-songwriter flowerovlove will make an appearance alongside Coach Party, Dogshow, Ffion Rebecca, L Dot and Tina Edwards.

Saturday afternoon will see the king of sing-alongs, Mr Tumble, and comedy duo Dick and Dom appearing on the main stage.

Closing the epic weekend on Sunday will be Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics and Jules Buckley & The Essential Orchestra. James Arthur joins Sunday’s line-up as special guest, along with Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

New for 2024 and included within the ticket price will be a plethora of activities including parkour and freerunning workshops, football coaching, wall climbing and dance classes, as well as a space camp and a planetarium to fit this year’s intergalactic, aliens and space theme.

On top of the music, the whole family can get lost in theatre, shows, workshops, circus spectacles, comedy, activities and fireworks, as well as a dedicated well-being area filled with everything from yoga to ice baths.
