Next July, people from all over the world will come together for the biggest vegan camping festival in the world.

Vegan Camp Out, which started in 2016, will be held at a brand new location in Oxfordshire, England next year.

As well as a slew of food stalls selling a range of delicious, 100% plant-based dishes, the event will see live musical performances and talks from leading figures in the vegan community.

Talk to Plant Based News (PBN), a spokesperson for Vegan Camp Out said the festival plays a “huge role” in the plant community. They added that people from all over the UK “come together to meet old friends, make new ones, eat amazing food, dance and watch amazing talks”, while taking part in activism and vegan awareness.

The 2022 festival was headlined by animal rights activist Earthling Ed, who performed a techno DJ set alongside his speech on veganism.

Here’s everything you need to know about next year’s festival.

2023 Vegan Camp Dateheadliner and line-up

Vegan Camp Out 2023 will take place from Friday July 28 to Monday July 31, 2023.

Next year’s festival will be headlined by Romesh Ranganathan.

According to festival organizers, Ranganathan is the second most requested headliner of all time (after Joaquin Phoenix).

He has also been a vocal figure in the plant community. During an interview on the Jonathan Ross Show in 2015, he mentioned that he was often asked questions about his diet, including, “What do you have… water?”. To this, he replies that he has “compassion”.

In 2019, Ranganathan starred in a BBC Two video titled: The real reason people hate vegans. The two-minute clip saw him declare, “I really think the reason people hate vegans is because they know it’s the right choice. But they like bacon too much and so they don’t want to do it.

Ranganathan won’t be alone at Vegan Camp Out 2023. Other acts on the bill include animal activist Joey Carbstrong, plant-based food pros BOSH!, Eurovision’s Sam Ryder and strongman Patrik Baboumian.

Animal rights organization Viva! Is once again a partner of the festival, and its founder and director Juliet Gellatley is one of the confirmed names in the line-up.

“Vive! is thrilled to partner with Vegan Camp Out again. With a great new venue, top-notch vegan entertainment and activism events – not to mention delicious food, 2023 promises to be the ultimate festival ever.” vegan of all time!” Gellatley said in a statement.

Full music, mind & body and education programming will be announced in 2023.
