Bestival announce new festival, Common People

Unlike his other South Coast jaunts, Common People will be a city-based festival. It will take place 23-24 May 2015 on Southampton Common.

Common People/Bestival head honcho Rob da Bank said:

“I’m delighted to announce that we are launching a new festival in Southampton next year, our first new venture since we started Camp Bestival seven years ago. We have been inundated with offers to start new festivals every year but it wasn’t until we found the beautiful site of the Common that we felt it was right to start a new chapter in Bestival’s history. This isn’t a camping show, it’s not a tents, wellies and car packed to the rafters experience… it’s a metropolitan two day show easy to access and open to all ages, compact but packed with experiences and priced very, very reasonably. We can’t wait to unveil our headliners and star cast for our first Common People show in May. Watch this space”

The full line-up is expected in the new year... Common People? Pulp? Is there a link?
