Known for its eclectic, sometimes bizarre line-ups – last year featured sets from Foo Fighters, Skrillex, Mac Miller, My Chemical Romance, Incubus and Bon Jovi – Bamboozle started as a small three-day event in Asbury Park, New Jersey, in 2003.

"It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
