After it was saved from extinction last year, West Dorset’s much-loved Jurassic Fields Festival is back with a bigger, bolder lineup of brilliant live acts and legendary DJs this summer on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August.
With camping available too, you can make a whole weekend of it, at pocket friendly prices too!! With tickets from £37 for an adult, £97 for a family, £18 for children ages 5-16 years old, under 5s go free.
The festival at West Bay Fields, near Bridport will see multi-million selling chart toppers Scouting For Girls, whose hits include This Ain’t a Love Song, She’s So Lovely and Elvis Ain’t Dead, headline as they build towards a massive 20th anniversary weekend at Wembley early next year.
Sharing the top slots are noughties hitmakers Feeder, everyone’s favourite festival Welsh rap crew Goldie Lookin’ Chain, multi-platinum sellers Space, and UK garage pioneers Artful Dodger.
Also appearing live are The South, with their hit-packed setlist of massive tunes by The Beautiful South, dancefloor destroyers Dub Pistols, melodic indie types Captain, and the extraordinary one-man blues machine that is Funke and the Two Tone Baby, as well as folk-punk stalwarts Ferocious Dog, Bristol’s finest soulful D&B outfit Dr Meaker, and top chart acts Freestylers and N-Trance.
The DJ bill includes Happy Mondays/Black Grape legend Bez, rave originator Brandon Block and Radio 1 regular Dave Pearce.
Adding to that, there’s many Dorset-based artists on the line-up such as the amazing Chris Payn & the Parade, Gaz Brookfield and his band, the Company of Thieves, and local heroes Shelby’s Elbows, as well as a series of world class tributes to the likes of Oasis, Robbie Williams, Fleetwood Mac and Foo Fighters. Whatever your music taste, there’s something for everyone!
Families and younger festival goers are not forgotten either with free kids’ activities every day including dinosaur shows, Mad4Anmals
shows, bubble shows and storyteller Mark Fraser, with top entertainment from the likes of Jamie Jambo, Mr Merlin and Count Backwards.
A free shuttle bus will transport local festival goers from Bridport, Bradpole and Bothenhampton to the festival site at West Bay Fields where on-site camping is also available.
It’s the perfect summer staycation by the sea, for all the family!
