The summer ball of Kent University is bringing many famous faces to Canterbury this year, as well as the smaller University Christchurch. The most talked about act is Florence and the Machine, also appearing at other festivals this year such as Latitude, V festival, Radio 1’s Big weekend, the Isle of Wight festival and many more.
Other famous acts coming to Kent are Feeder, Pendulum djset, Tinie Tempah, Jo wiley, and The Wideboys. The students are getting more then a bargain with each ticket costing only £47. Christchurch will also have the band Feeder, as well as the new talent Example.
Last year we saw the triumphant Dizzee Rascal take to the stage in Venue, the campus nightclub. Although he did have a tumble, the union said it was one of the most successful acts they have ever had.
Emma Chatfeild from the university attended last year; ‘It was amazing! Definitely going again next year.’ Of course with this new announced line up I don’t see why any student would not go.
I went to Christchurch University to talk to the students about how they feel about the other university having so many people in their line up, such as Florence and the machine. Most of my responses where pure disappointment, as was Ben Cliff’s, who is studying Sports Science;
‘I am a bit gutted about it to be honest. If I can get a ticket for Kent’s summer ball, then I will probably go there instead’.
Nevertheless, other students outside of Kent University can go to their summer ball also. This is the most exciting line up to date and a great way to start the summer for Canterbury.
