Festival curator Rob da Bank said: "My aim with the lineup at Camp Bestival is that there's lots for everyone but also new bands and acts you may not know yet but need to know - so step up Flowerovlove, The K's, Hak Baker and Dagny.

"See you in the fields in July!"

As well as live music, the festival also includes dance classes, art workshops, a football club and a planetarium to fit in with the space theme.

A sister Camp Bestival will also be held in Shropshire over four days from 15-18 August at Weston Park.
