Some pretty exciting news came across our desk this morning. Following the success of Southampton’s Common People festival, the powers that be have decided that Oxford should have their own version!

Common People, a grand day out from the makers of Bestival in conjunction with Oxford City Council, will be coming to Oxford on 28 & 29 May 2016, so don’t miss out - save the date!

The first event held in Southampton last year had over 11,000 people in attendance, dancing along to acts such as Jaguar Skills,¬†DJ Yoda,¬†The Cuban Brothers, Southampton’s own¬†Band of Skulls,¬†Years & Years and¬†Clean Bandit. So you can guarantee some local Oxford megastars are likely to be in attendance.

Taking place in the stunning surrounds of South Park, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful parks in the UK, and famously the venue for a home-coming concert by Radiohead and Supergrass over 15 years ago, Common People Oxford, will be a feast of the finest that the live music and DJ scenes have to offer. A twin for our already established Southampton event held on the same spring bank holiday weekend, both festivals will share some line-up, with a few key regional differences to give each show an unmistakably homespun feel.

Rob 3Common People Curator Rob da Bank says: “Common People HQ is buzzing with excitement today to announce that we’re bringing our show to Oxford next May. South Park is a stunning setting and we have an amazing line up to share with you very soon - from pop stars to underground legends, theatre and spoken word to our ace Kids Area and some special Oxford touches. Thanks for having us Oxford.”

Both amazingly brilliant line-ups of world class superstar bands and DJs will be announced very soon, so until then, make sure you sign up to our mailing list and get access to an exclusive 24-hour ticket pre-sale. But that’s not all, 100 randomly chosen people will get the chance to buy a day ticket in the pre-sale for just £10!

See you on South Park for Oxford’s debut Common People show!
