The time has come to unleash this phenomenon to Camper Calling! So warm up those vocals, sign up by the main stage and YOU could be hitting the notes with Shaun!

Tom Dibb

Whether you're watching Tom Dibb solo or with band, get set for a beautifully gutsy performance, as he tells his stories with undertones of blues, roots and folk, grown through a forest of soaring acoustic goodness. Tom has found his sound set firmly with an ever growing, loyal fan base that follow him not only across his home turf in the UK, but also across the Globe. Tom's world tour and self drive expedition in his 1989 vw camper-van all the way from the UK to Australia in 2016, lay the foundations and inspiration for much of his material. It fits into mainstream moulds, yet also satisfies a deeper creative taste.

Chaïni

Blend the richest of soul vocals with mature yet cheeky saxophone, raw acoustic guitars, flawless harmony, and hopeful passionate lyric, shake it up with roots, jazz, and blues, and you’re starting to get the vibe.

Charli and Nini (aka Chaïni) are two outstanding talents bound in beautiful creative energy to form this French Alpine duo, producing heart felt moving music the likes of which are rare to find. Once found, never forgotten..

Daisy Chute

Daisy Chute is an American-Scottish folk singer and songwriter. A banjo-wielding multi-instrumentalist, her musical roots are born out of her transatlantic heritage and she writes award-winning intelligent songs with stories, performing them with spine-tingling vocals & intricate instrumentation.

Run Remedy

Hailing from the birthplace of the Boss, meet the alt-indie folk artist Run Remedy: expressive, rhythmic, melancholic, and slightly irreverent tunes by Robin Koob, perfect for fans of fellow soul-bearing artists ala Angel Olsen, Fiona Apple, Julia Jacklin, Eliott Smith, and Lucy Dacus.

An apostate of the classical world, Koob is a multi-genre violinist complete with pedal board, hustling across the UK playing everything from post-rock and heavy metal to psych pop, indie and Americana with artists like Francis Lung, Hannah Ashcroft, Craig Gould, Blanket. Dawn Walker, and PIJN. She's session'd her way from the Jersey shore to Beijing, the Netherlands and Berlin, building her creative voice along the way, making for an intricate and unexpected audio experience.

Buckle up, it's going to be quite a ride!

Badly Drawn Boy

As Badly Drawn Boy, Damon Gough puts a fresh spin on the traditions of classic singer-songwriters. When he emerged in the late '90s, his intricate, lilting melodies, quirky but heartfelt lyrics, and offbeat production touches fit in with the experimental pop fringe of artists like Scott 4 and the Beta Band, but Gough soon defined himself as a remarkable talent with 2000s The Hour of Bewilderbeast, his Mercury Prize-winning debut album. Since then he has cemented his national treasure status with albums including the soundtrack to About A Boy, which included hits Something To Talk About and Silent Sigh.

He celebrates 25 years of releasing music this year and we are thrilled to welcome him to our Sunday lineup on the Lakeside Stage at Camper Calling this year!

Her new single Blue Collar Coastline is a poignant song about living in a world where we can be free.

With impressive production and lyrics themed to escapism “People should love who they want to love people should walk where they want to walk, people should dance how they want to dance and just...love.”
