Another Headline Act For Camp Bestival

The Happy Mondays have been announced as one of the headline acts for this years Camp Bestival in Dorset.

The band - known for classic hits like Step On and 24 Hour Party People - are performing on the Sunday night at the event in Lulworth this July.

Rob da Bank says: “I'm amazed this band are coming to Camp Bestival. The Happy Mondays are one of those iconic British outfits that perfectly capture all that's best about our musical make up...indie, dance, rave, pop and Shaun Ryder’s lyrical wit. I grew up dancing like a rubbish Bez to the Mondays and fully intend to indulge in some creaky freaky dancing come the Sunday night of Camp B… Hope you'll join me.”
 
The Happy Mondays’ Sean Ryder said: "Me and the band are mega excited to be playing at Camp Bestival. We have heard the crowd are amazing, and we will definitely put on a great show."
