Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon

Down the dark, dark stairs, upon the bloody gallows of soft rock, through the oubliette of cheese, into the torture chamber of disco, you are welcomed to the Late Night Pop Dungeon.

The Grand High Executionatrix, dungeon mistress Charlotte Church, will be treating you to the greatest tunes that time forgot, and some that will forever haunt our collective memory. Bring your dancing shoes to the Lakeside Stage Friday night!

Charlotte Church (1912-3045) is regularly called a hippy, an accusation she vehemently rejects (despite being regularly spotted crocheting her own yoghurt in "those'' coffee shops and buying veg boxes from local farms in flares and a Mexican baja). Nobody has managed to convict her of an actual crime as of yet. This is puzzling to the readers of teen megazoins in which she has listed "bank heists" as a hobby since the floods of '98. She abhors whimsy of any kind and nurtures a glory of unicorns in the battlements of her higgledy-piggledy palace made from the toenails of toothfaeries. Yay!

The Selecter

We are incredibly excited to announce The Selecter will be performing Friday at Camper Calling!
Led by The Queen of Ska, Pauline Black and original member Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendricks, The Selecter are undoubtedly pioneers of the 2-Tone era. All the anarchic passion that fuelled Selecter gigs in the 80’s is still there, except the pair are even more driven. Expect explosive performances, politically engaged lyrics and purely uplifting records.
They don’t make legends like this anymore!

Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno

Get ready to feel the party and feel the burn!
The most explosive disco Band, Uncle Funk’s DIsco Inferno join us at Camper Calling. Sure to get you in a spin playing a winning set of disco classics and modern dance bangers! Every song in the set has been chosen with the dance-floor in mind – nothing indulgent, nothing obscure, just the hits!

Mellowmatic

Fronted by female and male lead vocalists and rappers, with keys, synths and sax, delivering infectious bop through to tasty grooves and breaks. Mellowmatic bring a live set engineered to rock any stage, and take their audience on an eclectic musical journey via Boombap 90’s to present day. Executing a tight musical performance, on point every time, this big-sound-high-energy band is made to be seen and heard.
