Rob da Bank says: "Never ones to rest on our laurels, we have another in a raft of brand new stages at Camp Bestival. If you've ever marvelled at the wonders of our Caravanserai area then you're gonna love the steampunk spaceship fantasy boat ride of Oberon's Observatory. From punk to garage folk to electronica it's all going off on Oberon's!"
