The Mucha Marcha camp are getting extremely excited that festival season is upon us. We can smell the mud, rain and portaloos in the air. We have therefore decided to make this month’s extravaganza a bit of a practice run. Especially since global warming has allowed Proud to re open its outside space early. Whistles, straw trilbies and pints of cider will be in abundance. Not to mention some dirty beats and bands of epic proportions. Dust off your wellies and get yourself down. At £7 it’s cheaper than Bestival, easier to get a ticket to than
The Real Heat (LIVE)
Finally a girl band with some serious balls. Fucked up Electromagnetic Grit Pop from sister trio Shaki, Zaza and Suki. They are everything the Sugababes want to be but aren’t, especially since the scary one left. Their tunes are as sexy and gritty as you can get and there are few people who can pull of a leopard print leotard and rollerskates in the same way they can. Popjustice’s band of 2007.

The darlings of
Sunny Day Sets Fire (LIVE)
If the name alone doesn’t make you want to don your Havaianas and have an intense OC style romance with someone inappropriate then their summery Indie Folk is bound to.

Coconut Twins
Zezi and Kesh… are amazing. They are able to simultaneously exist in an infinite number of places all at once and without any loss in colour resolution. They have also perfected the mystical art of Making Drunk People Dance and has anyone noticed that they appear to have twelfty million Myspace pages between them?
DJ Maigret Jr
This tall, hairy loveable rogue has a penchant for playing Bugsy Malone, but don’t worry he will be playing a range of records that have nothing to do with children dressed as adults or splurge guns. Expect everything from Sizla to Dolly Parton. I guarantee this set will not allow your tapping feet and skanking knees to leave the dancefloor.
