The highlights
The main draws this year are Brighton indie kids Electric Soft Parade, who'll be headlining on Saturday under the monicker of The Brotherhood of Fish (ESP).

Read a review of ESP when they last played in Oxford.

Mark Gardener
Watch Mark Gardener perform Ride classic "Vapour Trail"
Ex-Ride supremo Mark Gardener, who's launching a solo career, will be teaming up with Goldrush - the band that combines attempting to make it big in the music business with organising the festival itself.

Other acts to look out for include Meanwhile Back in Communist Russia, who released a fantastic album this year and play on the Sunday.

Dustball's new incarnation, Dive Dive should be an exciting distraction on Saturday. On Sunday, look out for Psychid who (as Hesther Thrale) supported Radiohead in South Parks.

BBC Young Folk Awards finalist KTB is one of the lead acts on Sunday. She happens to be a relative of the Goldrush boys, but hey - they are just a talented family.
