"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 - its a patchwork of music, comedy, entertainment, wellness and food for kids of all ages...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!" Josie & Rob da Bank
Topping the weekend’s musical bill are baritone troubadour Rag'n'Bone Man, sub bass surfers Rudimental, and a heavyweight disco triumvirate featuring Sister Sledge, Kool and The Gang, and the Earth, Wind & Fire Experience ft. Al McKay, that will be sure to make you do the hustle at Lulworth Castle all weekend long.
There is of course, family fun galore with Horrible Histories: Terrible Tudors, Brainiac Live: Remixed!, Dick & Dom, stunt masters Extreme Bike Battle, CB legend Mr Tumble and Mister Maker & Rebecca Keatley. And there’s a jam-packed program of entertainment for kids of all ages with Family Silent Discos, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, Yolanda's Band Jam, MC Grammar, Cosmic Kids Yoga, a truly spectacular fireworks finale and lots and lots more.
There’s even more music with a whole multitude of melodious marvels to keep the dancefloors buzzing including Razorlight, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Kitchen Disco, Example, Shed Seven, Jo Whiley's 90s Anthems, Faithless (DJ Set), The Proclaimers, and Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon.

Check out the artists page for the full line-up.
But that’s not all, Ed Byrne tops this year’s comedy and spoken word fare, and there’s jaw-dropping circus feats including Disco Inferno by Cirque Bijou, Gorilla Circus Trapeze School, and more. Get back to nature at Wild Tribe where there will be Spinney Hollow Craft Village, Robot Junkyard and Delve into the Stone Age. Or treat yourself to some Wellness experiences including Water & Stone Wild Spas, Ice Baths and Sleep Retreat Meditation.
