Liam was due to headline Dorset's biggest festival, which is held annually at Lulworth Castle, the year the pandemic first caused global disruption and lockdowns. 

Other acts due to perform that year were Fatboy Slim and Groove Armada.

Ahead of the festival that never was, Liam said: “I’ve heard amazing things about Camp Bestival and can’t wait to head down to Lulworth Castle to join the party.”

Camp Bestival returned in 2021 with Fatboy Slim and Groove Armada performing, but sadly, Liam was unable to return to the festival.
