Mystery Jets

Mystery Jets is one of the most popular English indie bands to have emerged in the last decade. Their sound of harmony-splashed psychedelica has produced a string of British anthems, from the jumping "Two Doors Down" to their infectious collaboration with Laura Marling, "Young Love". Their 2010 release, "Serotonin", has shown that British indie is far from dead. Fresh from an American tour and famed for their energetic live performances, they are sure to produce a memorable headline set.


The Joker & The Thief

The Howlin' Dan Grabiner's trio returns to Magdalene to open the main stage. Named after their massive love of Dylan and Hendrix, The Joker & The Thief are known for their chaotic and raucous antics on stage, delivering a ragged blend of soulful sax, jazz-beat percussion, and rock n' roll. Their debut "Secret Ballroom" EP will be released this summer and they are due to feature on Mumford & Sons' next release. Their new release ,"I Do Too", shows that these guys most definitely like to walk their own way.



Itchy Feet

Swing, soul, funk, rhythm & blues, rock n' roll and Ska. Itchy Feet is all about the old. These musical nomads have travelled the country inspiring the youth to dance. Itchy Feet DJs have excited student audiences and have led to a revival of soul music. Have a listen to their podcasts, guaranteed to get your feet moving through the early hours.





Jamie XX

Having recently gone solo, Jamie XX has received great critical acclaim for his daring collaborations. His debut album, a rework of Gil Scot-Heron's "We're New Here", has shown his real talent, and includes mesmerising remakes of "I'll Take Care of U" and "NY is Killing Me". His stunningly original remixes of the likes of Adele, Eliza Doolittle and his own band, The XX, prove that he is truly one of the best DJs in the UK. He has promised an unforgettable 90 minute headline DJ set.




Clean Bandit

With the Chatto String Quartet at its core, together with a reckless fraternal rhythm section and front man who has been described as "the bastard son of Dizzee Rascal", Clean Bandit crafts a heady cocktail of pop, electronica and hip hop. One of Cambridge's best exports, their debut single, "Mozart's House", has become something of a Youtube revelation. They have promised to do something extra special for this year's Centenary Ball.



... plus a vibrant sunrise set from Cambridge favourites Truly Medley Deeply. On top of all this there will be five additional stages of entertainment running throughout the night making for a spectacular night.
