THIS YEARS PROMO VIDEO
MEMORIES OF LAST YEAR
This year will be the fourth annual student weekender held at Bucks Students’ Union. Each year we’ve grown from strength to strength and we now cater for over 4,000 people over the weekend. The stages over the last three years have been graced by the likes of Zane Lowe, Wilkinson, Foxes, Rudimental, Everything Everything, Danny Howard, Scouting For Girls, Utah Saints, Ms Dynamite, Kissy Sellout, Danny McFly and Marvin Humes to name but a few.
Attendance and floor space have increased each year and we are again looking to expand on both. The theme this year is simply that of a UK festival – tents, bunting, performers, giant decor, outdoor activity, food vans, camper vans and of course great music. The silent disco dome has become a firm favourite at Festiball and will be back again along with a VIP area for third-year leavers – extra bars, cocktails, food stalls, real ale and a presence from Jaegermeister and Relentless. Of course you can also expect all our favourite DJs with Unisex again helping curate the opening night. There will be appearances over the weekend from Soap, Blue Rinse, Crash, Juke, Maison and Frat House as well as a few surprise guests.
Tickets, as always, are absolutely free for all Bucks students and alumni, all thanks to the Big Deal. Tickets to similar university end of year balls cost around £40 and that’s just for one day! You will have to collect your wristband from the Students’ Union the week prior to the date which will get you priority access over the weekend on a first come first served basis. Guest tickets are also available and an initial early bird offer will be available immediately at £20 for the whole weekend from See Tickets – full price and day tickets will be released at a later date.

At just 21-years-old, she is a resident at Annie Mac’s critically acclaimed touring club night ‘AMP,’ and a regular fixture behind the decks at clubs and festivals around the UK and Europe. Her box-fresh bass music inspired sets include everything from piano house to hissing snares and skeleton shattering sub bass.
OLD DIRTY BRASSTARDS
Old Dirty Brasstards are a 10-piece drum and brass ensemble made up of some of London’s top freelance brass and percussion musicians playing an eclectic mix of tunes from the Beatles through to Lady Gaga and Basement Jaxx by way of 'en vogue'.
Firm favourites at Sean Rowley's Guilty Pleasures night, ODB aims are quite simple – to leave audiences smiling and make them dance. Which has been done to great affect at their recent shows around some of England’s top venues and festivals, including Lattitude, Glastonbury and Koko.
