Speaking on Camp Bestival Dorset 2025 lineup reveal, festival curator Rob da Bank said:
‘In over 20 years of booking Bestival and Camp Bestival we’ve always wanted to have Sir Tom Jones gracing our stage and finally the man himself has agreed to belt out Delilah for us! Josie and I have been mates with Basement Jaxx since they started, and we think they’re the best live dance act so get ready for the most colourful show of the year, and Sugababes will be one hell of a party!
"As ever it’s not all about the headliners and I think we’ve got our strongest DJ line up ever - from Annie Mac to Erol Alkan, Congo Natty to Greg Wilson plus some of the best live acts about The Zutons, Lightning Seeds, the man like Goldie with his Drum & Bass attack live, plus a family knees ups with Barrioke, Mr Tumble, Horrible Histories and Dick & Dom.. and that’s barely scratching the surface.. see you in August for a whole lot more!"
