ess Glynne and The Human League will headline Camp Bestival 2019. The ‘Thursday’ singer - who will have a busy summer ahead with her Spice Girls support tour - and ‘Don’t You Want Me’ hitmakers will close the Castle Stage on July 27th and July 26th respectively, when the music extravaganza returns to the beautiful setting of Lulworth Castle in Dorset, South West England, next summer. They will be joined on the stellar line-up by the likes of Sister Sledge, Big Shaq, Vengaboys, The Wailers, Goldie, David Rodigan, Sara Cox and Melanie C’s 90s Mixtape, who are performing across the jam-packed weekend. The festival’s curators, Josie and Rob da Bank, said: “Step up the brave and the perilous, courageous and noble, those with superhuman powers or those powering everyday heroic deeds, “Camp Bestival is back with a bang and we’re over-the-moon to announce our return with the best and biggest line-up to date in 2019. “Expect magical mania, brimmed with momentous music, phenomenal feast-worthy food and exciting experiences suited for everyone, whether you’re aged eight or 80!” This year, the familyfriendly event has a theme of superheroes, heroes and heroines, and there are plenty of activities to keep the young ones amused with their famous family raves and silent discos returning. Last year, Rick Astley, Simple Minds and Clean Bandit headlined across the three days of music. The festival also saw music legend Brian Wilson perform Beach Boys’ biggest hits in front of a sun-kissed crowd. Further line-up announcements will be made in the coming months including Sunday’s headliner. ames Arthur has started taking acting lessons. The ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ hitmaker might have made his name as a musician after winning ‘The X Factor’ in 2012, but he has admitted a career switch is one of his big dreams and he’s already working towards it. He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’ve taken a couple of acting lessons. I’ve had people reach out and ask me if I want to come to auditions.” Although James - who is currently working on his latest record - recently teamed up with ‘X Factor’ winner Dalton Harris on ‘The Power of Love’, he hasn’t made his goal a secret. He added: “When people ask me what other goals I’ve got and what are the ambitions I’ve got, it’s definitely acting.” It comes after the 30-year-old star landed a cameo as himself in popular Brazilian soap opera ‘O Tempo nao Para’ (‘Time Doesn’t Stop’). The surprise role came after his hit song ‘Naked’ played in one of the scenes of the program and proved popular with bosses. News James is taking acting lessons comes after he revealed his plans to break into movies. The British star thinks his troubled past, which saw him struggle with suicidal thoughts after being dropped from Simon Cowell’s Syco label in 2013, and his battle with a drug addiction, will allow him to take on a range of different roles. He said previously: “I want to become a Hollywood film star. I genuinely would love to be in some movies. I am a massive film geek and I love movies. “I have been through, and seen so many dramas and traumas, and been in so many situations that I can probably interpret a few different characters.”
