The Cambridge Club Festival 2022 brings Diana Ross, Nile Rodgers, The Jacksons and more to Childerley Orchard
The Cambridge Club Festival has returned for another show-stopping weekend, bringing some of the most iconic names in music history.
Diana Ross, Nile Rodgers & Chic, The Jacksons, Level 42, and Gabrielle are just some of the names that will take the stage at Childerley Orchard, near Cambridge. The family-friendly festival, supported by the Cambridge Independent, runs from today (Friday, June 10) until Sunday (June 12). After a strong inaugural weekend in 2021, expectations are high for 2022.
An exclusive programme is available in this week’s Cambridge Independent, featuring set times, a site map, highlights and an exclusive interview with Mica Paris - you can buy a copy at the festival from the merchandising stand.
And it is not just the headline acts to get excited about.
After the headline acts have left the stage and the night beckons, campers/glampers can join top DJs at the Party-Time Continuum stage, an after dark area for weekend campers, nestled in the apple orchard.
Expect to hear the likes of UK house pioneer DJ Fat Tony and Little Gay Brother. Also set to keep the party going is production powerhouse Waze, one half of house super-duo Waze & Odyssey, as well as Crazy P and the multi-talented presenter, singer, dancer, and now DJ Denise Van Outen, who will also jump on the decks for a dose of disco magic.
Along with the impressive catalogue of music on offer, the festival serves up a three-day feast of arts, culture, and wellness activities. Revellers can start their morning by practising peaceful mindfulness and yoga and can spend the afternoon enjoying comedy and podcasts at the Auditorium of Intrigue, situated in the orchard.
Comedians include Marcus Brigstocke, Angelos Epithemiou (played by Dan Skinner), Emmanuel Sonubi, Olivia Lee, Michelle Shaughnessy, Rob Rouse and Howard Read.
The Cambridge Club caters for all ages, with the Imagination Station hosting the Magic Star Live Stage, with renowned comedy double act Dick & Dom joining the fun – along with the likes of Andy & the Odd Socks and Yolanda’s Band Jam.
To keep the children thoroughly entertained, Toodle & Nibs host the Camp Cambridge children’s area with adventures and games for little ones to make flags, craft catapults, build dens, learn knots, sing songs, tell stories, and toast marshmallows.
A wide variety of food and drink is available, with cuisines from all over the world. There will be a multitude of stalls and street food options from wood-fired pizza and hoisin duck wraps, to freshly made crêpes and warm chocolate chip cookies.
The festival’s MD William Young said: “We are honoured to be welcoming such a diverse and legendary line-up this year with Diana Ross, Nile Rodgers & Chic, and The Jacksons taking to the stage.
“Each year our line-up becomes even more magical, we hope to give people the opportunity to make memorable experiences with their loved ones. We cannot wait for festival-goers to see our expanded musical, cultural, food offering, there will be something for everyone to enjoy this summer.”
The festival organisers and Tickets for Good have also made 100 free tickets available for Ukrainian refugees, teachers, charity worker and NHS staff.
