Camp Bestival is back in Dorset for 2022 and the lineup looks bigger and better than ever. 

The family-friendly festival is returning to Lulworth Castle between July 28 and 30 after winning the title of Best Family Festival at the UK Festival Awards a whopping six times.

Back in October 2021, the festival confirmed that it would be launching a sister event in Shropshire with all the same family fun as the original.

And on January 25, the organisers have announced the star-studded lineups for both locations and we just can't wait.

"I can’t quite believe it's line up time again… for the 14th year running! As ever the bill isn’t about one big act or one type of music - it’s a patchwork of music, comedy, entertainment, wellness and food for kids of all ages," Camp Bestival curators Josie & Rob da Bank said.

They added: "From heavy hitters Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Rudimental to newcomers like Lola Young and Orla Gartland, Horrible Histories making a welcome return and we have our very first stunt motorbike and BMX arena with Extreme Bike Battle, the best street food in the UK and more circus than you can shake a diablo at.

"Possibly the most exciting nod to our Desert Island Disco theme will be the holy trinity of Earth Wind & Fire Experience ft. Al McKay, Kool and The Gang and Sister Sledge all donning their disco boots and high kicking across the fields of Lulworth. See you down the front in July!”

The festival's organisers have described the upcoming event as "a patchwork of music, comedy, entertainment, wellness and food for kids of all ages," and they have certainly delivered. 

The 2022 lineup caters to all tastes with "heavy hitters" like Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Rudimental set to headline the long weekend.

We will also see incredible new talent featured among the likes of John Lewis advert singer Lola Young and Orla Gartland.

Family favourites like Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors will be returning and so will the "king of party bangers" Example. 

Also heading to the stage are the Britpop band Shed Seven, The Cuban Brothers and everyone's favourite Scottish twins The Proclaimers.

The four-day event will also feature popular DJ sets from Gok Wan, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Jodie Harsh, Jo Whiley’s 90s Anthems, Faithless and Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon.

As always, there will be plenty to keep the kids entertained with including Brainiac Live: Remixed, Mr Tumble, Yolanda’s Jam Band and Mister Maker & Rebecca Keatley, MC Grammar, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show and Elmer's Walk.

If you're a fan of comedy, the festival weekender won't disappoint either with Irish comedian Ed Byrne due to appear alongside Comedy Club 4 Kids and Hurrah For Gin.

The hours of fun don't end there either, you can also enjoy performances from Horse Meat Disco and the "holy trinity" of Earth Wind & Fire Experience ft. Al McKay, Kool and The Gang and Sister Sledge as a nod to the festival's Desert Island Disco theme.

In a first for the festival, organisers will also be introducing a stunt motorbike and BMX arena with Extreme Bike Battle to go alongside its circus and best street food in the UK.
