INDIE legends Primal Scream will be joined by Eurovision here and all-round-great Sam Ryder for Shropshire’ newest festival this summer.

The Scottish band, with their most famous hit ‘Loaded’ will round off a weekend of stellar acts at Camp Bestival Shropshire, including Mel C, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Human League, Groove Armada, and many more, as well as Radio 2 DJ Sara Cox.

Camp Bestival Shropshire will return to Weston Park on August 17-20 for its second year, and early bird tickets are on sale now.

Camp Bestival curator’s Josie and Rob da Bank said they were delighted to be launching day tickets for the event, alongside the four-day camping.

They said: “We are ready to rock and roll with our day tickets for both Camp Bestivals.

“We create the festivals with love for a four-day experience with camping but know that for various reasons some of you just want to come for the day.

“We have some epic day splits for your delectation and can’t wait to see you all in the fields.”
