The headliners for this year's Camp Bestival have been announced.

Paloma Faith, McFly and Pete Tong will all perform on the fields of Lulworth Castle in July.

There'll also be performances by many new and upcoming artists.

Faithless lead 2024’s headliners with Rollo and Sister Bliss performing a special live set celebrating the late Maxi Jazz.

Pop Queen Paloma Faith will also be making her Camp Bestival debut in August and after appearing on stage with national treasure turned drummer for one-night-only Mary Berry at Camp Bestival Dorset 2018, Rick Astley is heading straight to Shropshire to smash out his decades spanning musical catalogue to the whole family during his headline debut up North.

Fitting within 2024’s Time Travel theme and making their Camp Bestival debut will be McFly who just so happen to take their name from the Back to the Future character Marty McFly.

Orbital who are behind iconic rave classics such as ‘Halcyon’ and ‘Chime’ will also be making a stop by Weston Park this summer.

Co-lead vocalist from New York’s Scissor Sisters Jake Shears is set to wow the crowds over the four-day celebrations with his Cabaret powerhouse vocals.

The Darkness will also keep the energy levels high as they take families through their 20-plus-year music catalogue including hits such as “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”, “Love Is Only A Feeling” and maybe even “Christmas Time”.

Curator Rob da Bank said: “Dust off your dancing shoes, dig out your rave gear and prepare your finest embarrassing mum or dad singalong voice as we unveil the hot off the press lineup for Camp Bestival Shropshire 2024. Prepare to get no sleep with one of only two festival shows in 2024 for Faithless, who are back with their full live extravanganza.

"Give it up for Rick Astley and McFly, Paloma Faith, all the Scissor Sisters hits with Jake Shears and wheel out the air guitar for The Darkness. Oh yeah and did we tell you McFly, Level 42 and Sara Cox are there too. And for the night owls still raring to go after lights out… Gok Wan, Craig Charles and Ellie Sax will be spinning till the wee hours too.

"Breaking new talent and championing new bands is always top of my agenda too, so I’m very pleased to announce a rare UK show from Say She She alongside Flowerovlove, The K’s and Coach Party. And that’s just for starters! See you down the front."
