Lakeside Stage

2019

Skunk Anansie

Lakeside Stage, Music Act

Emerging from London in 1994, electrifying everyone who saw them and jamming an adrenaline shot into the arm of a decadent music scene, they sounded and looked like nothing that had come before them. With tracks like "Weak", "Hedonism" and "Charlie Big Potato" they truly carved their own path. Almost 25 years on, this is arguably their greatest measure of success; nobody has ever come close to imitating them.

We are so thrilled to announce that Skunk Anansie will be headlining the Lakeside stage on Sunday at Camper Calling!

Fear not, The Fratellis are now headlining Saturday night!

Sleeper

Achieving 8 Top 40 singles including, Sale of the Century, What Do I Do Now and Inbetweener across 3 Top 10 albums with well over 1,000,000 sales; Sleeper enjoyed huge critical and commercial success in the mid-90s.
Their music is characterized by astute, observational lyrics and big, hook driven melodies. Fronted by the iconic Louise Wener, who headed up a movement that brought women center stage in guitar music.

With tracks you’ll know and love transporting you right back to the mid-90s, you’ll love reliving this iconic era!

Tony Christie

National treasure, Tony Christie joins the Calling.

Don’t Go Down To Reno, stay another night at Camper Calling!

At the age of 14, (now 21 years old) Casey wrote his first song, Trampoline. He tells you this almost casually - about a song that, on its release last year, was playlisted at Radio 1, reached No 2 on Spotify’s UK Viral 50 chart and has racked up more than 500,000 streams.

We’re expecting big things Casey and we’re excited to have him on our Lakeside stage on Sunday.

Fresh from a tour with the one and only P!NK, we are absolutely thrilled to have them perform on our Lakeside stage on Saturday.

Fronted by the vocal powerhouse that is Anastasia Walker, Bang Bang Romeo are a propelling force for female-fronted bands in a male-dominated industry, and a strong and open voice for the LGBT community. Anastasia's ‘once in 20 years voice’ is unrivalled and the group’s larger-than-life performances are sending audiences wild up and down the country.

Beans on Toast

Beans on ToastWEB.jpg

After more than 12 years in the game, Essex born songwriter Beans on Toast has become something of a cult figure. He’s written and recorded 10 albums, he’s played every bar, club, venue, pub, festival, party and honky tonk you can think of and he’s showing no signs of slowing down, he’s loved every minute of it.

He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues. Political protest songs for the modern day, honest and open Love songs. Songs that will make you laugh, but also make you think with no holds barred honest lyrics and quick wit.

The Dunwells

There may only be two members with the same surname, but The Dunwells are very much a band of brothers. Consisting of two siblings and two close school friends, the hardworking quartet from Leeds is preparing to be the next big thing. Touring relentlessly throughout Europe and the US, the band will be releasing their new album this summer! Perfect summer listening for Camper Calling

Delicate one minute, powerfully energetic the next and always concluding in a huge party, Hackney Colliery Band are the perfect addition to our Friday line up on the Lakeside stage.

A truly brilliant live act who have enjoyed a remarkable few years, they have done everything from playing sets at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics to appearing at the BRITs, MOBO Awards, Mercury Awards...the list goes on!

The line up of trumpets, trombones, saxes, drummers and sousaphone means no genre is off limits. From jazz to electronica, there’s something for every ear!

Tranqua Lite

Lakeside Stage

Producing high-octane art-rock out of Leeds, melodic and sounding like a summer soundtrack, Tranqua Lite are a hypnotic blend of guitar driven alternative music. Their eclectic sound, an explosive palate of fruitful synth and bold bass, has made waves across the music scene and is quickly becoming their trademark.

We’re looking forward to seeing where the future takes these guys, so be sure to catch them at Camper Calling, Friday afternoon on the Lakeside Stage.
