Camper Calling

24 - 27 August 2023

Lakeside Stage

Will and the People

Music Act, Saturday, Lakeside Stage

Brighton-born Will Rendle and his band of merry men will delight with their playful reggae-tinged pop offerings influenced by Bob Marley, Mott the Hoople, Elton John and Elbow. The band have also toured with an eclectic mix of artists such as Paolo Nutini, jamie Cullum and Girls Aloud!

2015 saw the release of their third studio album ‘Whistleblower’, and we sure can’t wait to see how they translate these new tracks to the live arena at Camper Calling in 2016.

Showcasing a variety of sounds and vibes that fuse indie pop with ska and glam rock, Will and the People have traversed a road as wild and unpredictable as their musical output.

Mused

Music Act, Friday, Lakeside Stage

Mused are the UK’s authentic Muse concert experience and come armed with all your favourite Muse tracks in their arsenal, pulling from each of the band’s studio albums.

Not only do these guys look like Muse, they sound just like them: Totally amazing!
— Johnny Doom, Kerrang Radio

There’s no denying that Matt Bellamy has one of the most unique and recognisable voices in rock yet, somehow, Carl’s managed to recreate his tone, his swagger, and his musicianship with effortless ease. Team that with a pitch perfect rhythm section of drummer Chris and bassist Stu, you’ll be hard pressed to tell the difference onstage.

Wille and the Bandits

Music Act, Friday, Lakeside Stage

Likened to such iconic acts as Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience and hailing from Cornwall, this blues rock three-piece come dripping with classic sensibilities.

Wille and the Bandits bring a tight performance and instrumental virtuosity rarely seen within the live arena with a range of instruments getting stage time, sometimes even in the same song!

Listed as one of the top ten bands to see at Glastonbury 2014 by Radio 1, Wille and the Bandits will be at Camper Calling 2016 with their fresh approach to blues rock.

The Future Dub Project

Music Act, Friday, Lakeside Stage

An apt band name: The Future Dub Project is a hybrid of computing and dub power that creates progressive new music greater than the some of its parts.

Littered with subs and samples, The Future Dub Project effortlessly combine reggae, drum & bass, breakbeat and everything in between to create a truly vibrant live show and the perfect party vibe for Camper Calling 2016.

They seamlessly blend all the best bits of electronic and reggae music together and have one of the best rhythm sections I’ve ever seen – definitely one of my favourite things happening in the UK live music scene right now.
— Jonathan Doyle, The Skints
I witnessed a great performance from a very competent group at Secret Garden Party this year. A dance-floor friendly set building to a frenzy containing every dance style imaginable. A slick performance from a very tight band.
— Danny Templeman, Submotion Orchestra

 

 

Plastic Pantomime

Music Act, Friday, Lakeside Stage

The UK’s number one alternative/indie cover band, Plastic Pantomime have a stylish arsenal of tracks to get even the most dour heads nodding along. 

From classics by The Cure, Pulp and Blur to more contemporary offerings from the likes of Foals, The Futureheads and Mumford & Sons: Plastic Pantomime have got you covered.

They might even pull some songs from their just-as-brilliant “Not So Indie” playlist that lists classics by Wham!, Madonna and The Beatles amongst a myriad of others!
