THE award-winning family-friendly Camp Bestival has added some exciting new acts to its line-up of “festi-holiday frolics”.

From iconic 80s songster Alison Moyet to BoomTown Rat frontman Bob Geldof – and not to mention pre-school idol Mr Tumble of CBeebies fame – it promises to be a packed fourday event.

The news follows that of previously announced headliners Underworld, Clean Bandit and the Kaiser Chiefs and brand new family shows The Cat in the Hat and Dick V Dom Go Wild in the Ring.

Organiser Rob da Bank says: “I don't know where to start with our typically all encompassing, diverse and pretty wild line up.

Maybe at the end, with electronic mega-dons Underworld revving up for the grand finale on Sunday all the way back through iconic pop from Alison Moyet, Level 42 and Bob Geldof, young guns Wretch 32, Professor Green and Clean Bandit, plus the hottest new blood Kate Tempest, Slaves and George The Poet. I’m really hoping there’s a lot to discover at Camp Besti 2015. Not forgetting our most requested act every year and a total legend: Mr Tumble!

He added: “As Camp veterans know, music is only one part of the adventure and our incredible creative crew have really pulled it out of the bag with some really wild arts and kids shenanigans from The Train Trip to West End Kids and all the amazing workshops and wild activities to boot.

“We are massively excited once again to be able to announce a bill-topping slot from the man, the legend, Mr Tumble. A true force of nature, the utter hysteria surrounding a Mr Tumble performance at Camp Bestival makes Beatlemania look like a Black Lace comeback. The wildest high jinx are guaranteed from the number one kids’ clown, so whatever you do, don’t dare miss Mr Tumble when he assumes his throne at Lulworth Castle!”

Joining the three previously announced headliners the festival will have much more brilliant live music from the likes of Hackney’s finest, Professor Green, and lyrical gymnast, Wretch 32, who commented: “I’m extremely excited to be coming to play for my fans at Camp Bestival, expect a special show! See you in the summer!”

Joining the fun at Lulworth Castle on the dramatic Jurassic Coast from July 30 - August 2 will also be Mercury Prize nominee and long-time Camp Bestival favourite Kate Tempest, legendary dance machine Soul II Soul, 80s pop powerhouse Level 42, the silky voiced Ella Eyre, funk and rare groove legends Cymande, proper Manchester rave crew 808 State, original pop-punk geniuses Buzzcocks, turntable maestro DJ Yoda, and funny funkers The Cuban Brothers.

Bringing new meaning to the word campfire, there will be all-out action from psychedelic warriors The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, in your face duo Slaves, bubble gum upstarts Only the Young of X Factor fame, BBC Sound of 2015 finalist George the Poet, folk royalty Eliza Carthy, and Australian male vocal group Spooky Men’s Chorale.
