Also, if anyone fancies staying in a really nice hotel for the weekend, some rooms have just come available at The Priory Hotel which is very near to the site - www.theprioryhotel.co.uk
We also wanted to let you know about a few of the additional acts Rob da Bank has booked up for Camp Bestival in the past few weeks. 1st up, uber-producer Nigel Godrich (pictured) - a man who is sometimes informally credited as the sixth member of Radiohead due to his longtime collaboration with the band. He recently remixed the forthcoming Radiohead-sampling new single by dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip 'Letter From God To Man' for our Sunday Best record label and he did such a good job we've invited him down to Camp Bestival to show us what his record collection is made of. Don't miss!
Also recently added to DJ in our Balearic Bollywood tent over the weekend is the legendary 66 year old Jamaican reggae spinner DJ Derek, plus one of Sunday Best's original resident DJs, Giddy (playing a special set of Beatles covers), and the likes of Cato Canari, Geek Chic Soundsystem, Adrian Blunt, Kaptin, Ben Davis and Matthew Burgess. Plus Rev Milo Speedwagon, XFM's John Kennedy and John Dirtbox are amongst the DJs that will be keeping things bustling on the Castle Stage between live bands.
And recently added to the live bill are Micachu, one of Rob da Bank's top tips for 2008, and Mr Hopkinson's Computer, a long time fav from Rob's shows on BBC Radio 1.
