Johnny Marr, Basement Jaxx and Sinéad O'Connor to play Camp Bestival 2014
Camp Bestival's first set of acts, according to organiser Rob da Bank, are a response to public demand, with two acts in particular having been booked after requests on the festival's forums. Basement Jaxx, the Sunday night headliners, and James have been booked to please the festival's regular clientele.
"I always pay close attention to the Camp Besti forum and social media to see what people want, so I've followed orders and booked two of your most requested acts, and coincidentally, two of my favourite bands ever, James and Basement Jaxx," Da Bank said. "Two huge internationally renowned acts with huge back catalogues who are going to slay the crowd at Camp Bestival."
The two acts are joined by scores of others, with Johnny Marr, Laura Mvula, Steve Mason, Public Service Broadcasting, Sinéad O' Connor and Chas & Dave also among the other acts named. The DJing line-up incluse Boy George and Marc Vedo, Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs.
This year's event at Lulworth Castle – for which the Guardian is media partner – takes place from 31 July to August 3.
