Dave Johns and Andrew Maxwell also appearing

Camp Bestival has announced its comedy headliners led by Sean Lock.

He will be joining music headliners Simple Minds and Rick Astley at the family-friendly festival in Lulworth Castle, Dorset, from July 26 to 29.

The comic said: ‘Really looking forward to Camp Bestival - I’ve bought some GPS tags for the kids and can’t wait for two days of peace, whilst they run around a huge field trying not to get in trouble.’

Also on the bill are stand-up-turned-film-star Dave Johns, who said: ‘I absolutely love Camp Bestival and my kids are over the moon that we’re heading back this year. Is there a better way to spend your end of July than lording it up next to a castle on the Jurassic Coast! I think not!’

Andrew Maxwell will also be there, compering the whole Sunday afternoon line-up.

Bestival founder Rob da Bank said: ‘Sean Lock has been someone we’ve wanted to bring onboard for ages… Dave Johns is a Geordie delight and Andrew Maxwell is one of our all-time favourites, so it’s gonna be a rip-roarer’

 Early Bird tickets, priced £180 for adults,  are on sale here.
