During the line-up reveal, festival co-curator Rob da Bank said: 'Dust off your dancing shoes, get out your rave gear and prepare your best embarrassing sing-along voice as we unveil the line-up for Camp. Bestival Shropshire 2024.

'Prepare not to sleep on one of only two festival shows in 2024 for Faithless, who are back with their full live extravaganza. Give it up for Rick Astley and McFly, Paloma Faith, all the Scissor Sisters hits with Jake Shears and use the air guitar for The Darkness.

“Oh yeah, and did we tell you McFly, Level 42 and Sara Cox are there too? And for the night owls still keen to turn out the lights… Gok Wan, Craig Charles and Ellie Sax will also be playing until the early hours.

'Breaking new talent and promoting new bands is always at the top of my agenda too, so I'm very happy to announce a rare UK show from Say She She alongside Flowerovlove, The K's and Coach Party. And that's just the beginning! See you at the front…'
