Team, The Automatic, Dizzee Rascal, M.I.A, 2Manydjs, MSTRKRFT, DJ Yoda, Digitalism and Art Brut… as we bring you our greatest line-up ever, reflecting multi-cultural London and everything that’s great about today’s thriving music scene.

As part of his on-going ‘Beat Stevie’ video diary series (available from www.youtube.com/thebeats), Mike Skinner takes time out from recording a cover version of an Elton John song - ‘Your Song’ to record this very special (and highly amusing) pre-Get Loaded video.   Mike has decided to invite one lucky punter to go on stage with him for the finale of the show. All you need to do is design a home-made bong, which Mike will parade (together with the lucky winner) on stage during 'Irony of it All'. Once you've come up with your world-beating design, email a photo or drawing of your bong, plus a description to loadedbong@hotmail.com with your name, address and a contact number. The designer of the best bong gets a pair of VIP passes to Get Loaded in the Park, plus the chance to demonstrate their bong in front of 20,000 party people!! Entries must be in by Wednesday 22nd August and the winner will be announced on Mike's blog on Thursday 23rd August.

Looking ahead to next weekend’s festival, Mike gushed, “I’m really looking forward to Get Loaded. We’ve got Dizzee, Dirty Pretty Things, The Go! Team and of course the Beats Arena featuring the Beats Soundsystem. It’s gonna off!!”

 

The final piece to this year’s Get Loaded jigsaw is currently being kept under wraps, with a full announcement to follow next week. It’s oh so very exciting though, and features an artist who is one of the most iconic stars of our generation and a wonderful music maker to boot. Get Loaded fans will know this artist very well and we’re struggling to keep the whole thing a secret – as we’ve been inundated with suggestions of who this mystery artist can be?? Mmmmm… I wonder!!

 

MORE BANDS ADDED!! -

 

In case you missed the announcement earlier on in the week, we’re delighted to have added current chart topper Newton Faulkner to the bill, plus the hotly-tipped electronic outfit Devils Gun and Leeds fab four Wild Beasts. Newton Faulkner is currently sitting pretty at No.8 in the UK Single Charts with debut track ‘Dream Catch Me’ and No.3 in the UK Album Charts (for the 2nd week running) with debut LP ‘Hand Built by Robots’. As one of the hottest new singer/songwriters of the year… be sure to check him out in the XFM Stage in the afternoon sun!
