Party in the Car Park

Newspaper Comment Editor Ginny Sanderson, previews the Party in the Car Park 2014, which takes place on 7th June.

Well, last year had its dramas. What with the earthquake (geddit?) Labyrinth set off in the crowd, which actually was more like a life-sized version of dominoes. Meanwhile, Chase and Status was a truly messy experience, for the right reasons. This year is set to be an even better send off to the summer. The lineup is looking fresh with Ella Eyre, Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, Wretch 32 and DJ Fresh headlining the night, with many more live acts.

You may know DJ Fresh best for his energetic drum and bass beats like Hot Right Now (featuring Rita Ora), huge smash Gold Dust and climactic Louder, among other tracks. Ella Eyre is an emerging talent whose soulful vocals have resonated on Rudimental’s dance hit Waiting All Night, as well as, hauntingly, in Bastille’s No Scrubs and Angels mash up, titled No Angels. She has also collaborated with Tiny Tempah and Naughty Boy, but is emerging as a capable soloist in her own right. Wretch 32 is a rapper with most recognisable hit Don’t Go, which features that backing singer with her really catchy “Yeeeeeeaaaaah”. Kent are extremely fortunate to have such a scintillating lineup, but there will also be plenty more entertainment beyond the live music.

If last year is anything to go by, there will be slamming theme park rides, which are all the more enjoyable when you’ve had a few. These included dodgems, and a huge ride which I can only describe as an enormous spinny very high up thing, and plenty more. So you better get your tickets before they sell out, if you haven’t already that is. Fix up, now’s your chance to have a well-earned celebration-in-style for all the hard work you have or haven’t been up to this academic year. I’m talking heels, suits, and maybe even a bowtie or two. If you’re feeling confident, throw in a fez. Fezzes are cool. Someone is going to get absolutely bungalowed and lose their voice screaming to LOUDER. Someone is going to whip out the most surprising dance moves, whilst on a fairground ride. And someone may even lose their friends, but don’t let that put you off. Let’s make Party in the Car Park 2014 the best one yet.

Tickets are available NOW from Unique (near Essentials) or online at kentunion.co.uk/loveitkent
