McFly, Rick Astley, James Blunt, James Bay, Kevin Clifton, Beverley Knight, All Saints and Gok Wan amongst stars announced for CarFest South

CarFest, the family festival created and hosted by Chris Evans has today announced its star studded line up for the Covid-compliant ‘Camp’ CarFest South taking place at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire, 27th-29th August 2021. Rick Astley, James Blunt, James Bay, All Saints, Texas and Gok Wan top the music bill for the highly sought after event. As well as artists appearing on big screens there will be viewing pods in front of the stages so guests can party the night away in style and safely.

CarFest South has also gathered together some of the country’s top DJs to spin the decks and keep the festival vibes flowing on the Club CarFest Stage with performances from Gok Wan, Kate Lawler and an epic DJ Battle from top kid’s entertainers Dick and Dom. Don’t forget your dancing shoes, as capacities will be reduced and the amount of space increased to ensure social distancing (and grooving) can still take place whilst enjoying the live performances.

In addition to the hottest music line up, foodie lovers prepare your taste buds to tingle…the kitchen stage will be hosting celebrity chefs and bake off winners, as well as Michelin star restaurants delivering a programme of culinary fun. From Candice Brown and James Martin to Prue Leith and José Pizarro – the great line up will be cooking up a storm and doing what they do best on the kitchen stage throughout the weekend long event.

The Covid-compliant Camp CarFest has been described by the thousands of die-hard fans as ‘the biggest ever village fete’ with a mission to bring the true spirit of family to life. The hard-working events team has designed the festival to be fully covid-compliant, so friends and family can enjoy all the usual treats from their favourite summer festival with special measures in place to ensure everybody’s safety.
