The Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt claim that they have so far managed to book exactly zero bands for their festival, which, as previously reported, is due to take place at Hop Farm in Kent on 5 Jul.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Fielding said: "We've made enquiries with some quite big people, people like the Beastie Boys". "But they can't do it." added Barratt. Noel continued: "We've got a wish list, haven't we? I'd like Har Mar Superstar, I've tried to contact him and Peaches but he hasn't got back to me. The Horrors haven't got back to me either. Gary Numan is interested, Serge from Kasabian is interested but I don't think the band will play because they're too big. But maybe he'll come and do an acoustic gypsy set".
Barratt explained that they have only managed to convince other Boosh actors to get involved: "So far, we've just one small tent in the middle where Naboo [played by Michael Fielding] is going to read palms and tell your future and [Bob] Fossil [played by Rich Fulcher] will be roaming loose. It'll just be us dressed as different bands".
The duo also spoke about their plans to appear at various other festivals this summer with a Mighty Boosh band. Fielding said: "We really wanted to play the festivals this year but we wanted to do it as a band rather than comedy, because we kept being offered the comedy tent. Once people found out we had a band, then they started getting quite interested".
