 Red Stag - A different breed.
From the woods of Kentucky emerges the newest member of the Beam family. Created with four year old Jim Beam® Bourbon, Red Stag by Jim Beam® has been slowly infused with natural black cherry flavours for a smooth, unique taste. It's perfect for a night out on the hunt for fun.
Red Stag will be at the Summer Party dishing out freebies inviting up-for-it stags to come along on the day and compete for the title of ultimate party animal by taking part in a dance off against our very own dancing Red Stag!

MAIN STAGELive acts from 1pm!
What's not to say about Feeder? They have been effortlessly blurring the boundaries between traditional guitar-based rock and classic songwriting with a pop sensibility for well over 15 years now. During that time they have achieved a string of Gold and Platinum-selling albums and established a reputation as firm festival favourites the world over with their mix of huge, anthemic choruses and driving guitars.
Whether it's the incomparable Buck Rogers, mosh-tastic Just a Day or the towering Just the Way I'm Feeling, we guarantee there’s at least one Feeder tune that everyone knows and loves. And when Grant and the boys rip into a selection from their roaring back catalogue at this year's Summer Party, there won’t be a dry eye or sweatless body left in the field!
Ramping things up to a spectacular climax at the end of the evening will be a DJ duo who need no introduction to either casual or hardcore drum'n'bass heads. Put simply, the mighty Chase & Status are responsible for some of the biggest and most storming DnB and dubstep tracks of recent years, including Pieces, Smash TV, End Credits, Running, Saxon and their recent smash Blind Faith.
Their latest album No More Idols has seen them add a host of new additions to their already star-packed portfolio, including new collaborations with Tempa T, Tinie Tempah and Dizzee Rascal. Whether it’s ripping into a set jam-packed with bona fide slammers or building up to some of the meatiest drops imaginable, Chase & Status are guaranteed to bring the Summer Party to a storming close with another thunderous set of heavyweight anthems!
The most recent exponents of the hugely prolific South Wales rock scene to break through to national consciousness, The Blackout are gearing up to tear our collective faces off with their barrage of aggressive guitars and soaring melodies. Their third album Hope is due for release through seminal punk label Epitaph over in the States, and marks the culmination of six years' relentless hard work.
Kerrang! cover stars, Radio 1-playlisted and armed with an ever-increasing army of fans, in Hope The Blackout have made an album which looks set to catapult them alongside the likes of Lostprophets, You Me at Six and Biffy Clyro at the forefront of British rock.
If you don’t know the name yet, you most certainly know the sound: Labrinth is the acclaimed producer and vocalist whose electro stylings and soulful croon power Tinie Tempah’s massive chart hits Pass Out and Frisky. Having made his name on these two stunning singles, Labrinth has since branched out to become one of the UK’s most in-demand producers, all the while working on his own solo material.
His recent debut single Let the Sun Shine is an essential slice of contemporary RnB, catchily infused with a dance-based twist which brings together his own eclectic tastes. This is a rare chance to catch one of the men of the moment in action before he ascends to Timbaland-esque levels of popularity and is never seen at the level of us mere mortals again!
Followers of the UK urban scene may already be familiar with this exciting upcoming talent from her distinctive guest vocals on Devlin’s top 15 hit Runaway. What you may not know, however, is that she’s a multi-talented singer, DJ and artist in her own right: already by the age of 21 Yasmin has DJ-ed with Eve and N.E.R.D. on tour, opened for Dizzee Rascal at Ibiza Rocks and performed at Glastonbury.
A sleek and sassy contemporary pop single tipping its hat to contemporary RnB while recalling the likes of Amy Winehouse and Robyn, her debut release On My Own is the sound of a young artist in complete control of her own destiny. Working with producers such as Shy FX, Diplo and Labrinth, she has crafted an album which marries cutting-edge beats to smooth, soulful vocals which is sure to storm the airwaves over the coming months. This year’s Summer Party will be your chance to check out one of the UK’s hottest talents before she breaks into the big-time!
In just three albums, Los Campesinos! have established themselves as a veritable indie institution. Initially formed as a student band while studying at Cardiff University, the seven-piece quickly caught the attention of tastemakers, press and public alike with their unique brand of offbeat indie-pop, which references contemporary scene favourites like Broken Social Scene while harking back to the glory days of C-86 mixtapes.
Romance is Boring and Idioteque anthem You! Me! Dancing! are just two of a number of tasty tunes in their repertoire, which delivers a sprawling mix of shambolic guitars, jumpy bass, twinkling xylophones and duelling boy-girl vocals. For many, Los Campesinos! are the last word in contemporary indie values, and represent a hugely fun and engaging addition to the line-up.
The Antics are four young Leamington lads who have been tipped for major league greatness. So much so, The Enemy's Tom Clarke personally asked them to join them on their last UK tour and they have been confirmed as main support for The Enemy’s upcoming outings too. After taking huge, sold out venues up and down the UK by storm with their songs of love, loss and life, we are proud to announce that Antics will be appearing on the Main Stage at The Summer Party 2011. Currently residing in their studio in the countryside, expect single releases, festival appearances and frenetic touring throughout the rest of the year. Catch them now while you get the chance as these boys are guaranteed to smash it!
This year's Warwick Uni Battle of the Bands winners, Fly By Night, will be opening the bill at the Summer Party in June. They impressed judges and punters alike at each stage of the competition with their contemporary pop-punk sound, which draws inspiration from the likes of Blink-182, Young Guns and All Time Low. A well-honed gigging machine which has played extensively in the local area and beyond over the last few years, Fly By Night guarantee a tight, slick set of bouncy rock gems delivered with energy and passion!
SECOND STAGE
Do you think you've seen it all? Well, you haven't. DJP is a metaphorical funk fuelled bomb ready to blow and wreak havoc across any dance floor worth its salt. With Juno chart annihilating Goodgroove, Baffin Island and Analigital releases and remixes to his name, plays on Craig Charles' Radio 6 Funk & Soul Show and props from the likes of All Good Funk Alliance, A-Skillz, Featurecast, Parker and Smoove, DJP is definitely pushing the right buttons when it comes to funky loops, fat drums and a healthy serving of bass.
These productions directly correlate to his DJing style, which has taken him to numerous venues all over the UK as well as Europe over the years. Expect to see DJP laying down mad, funky, uncontrollable head nodding and foot tapping party rocking sets driven by his turntablist stylings and ever increasing amount of exclusive self-produced bootlegs. These sets have had him sharing stages with the likes of Mark Ronson, Jazzy Jeff, Cut Chemist, The Scratch Perverts, DJ Yoda, A-Skillz and The Nextmen amongst a whole ream of others.
Tetris was created in the end of Term 2 this year, promoting itself as the only Tech-House and Progressive-specific event within Warwick Uni. Tetris will once again be coming your way at the end of Term 3 so get that Techno punching arm limber, 2 Step Shuffle down… and let's throw some shapes to the beats of The Audio Criminals.
The Audio Criminals:
This year, The Audio Criminals will be programming and performing in the Second Stage and have many surprises up their sleeves. After supporting Sub Focus, The Scratch Perverts and many others this year, you're guaranteed to get your shuffle on. They are the ever-popular residents at the much-loved Mixology events in The Terrace Bar and are responsible for its massive growth in popularity. So put those hands in the air and hold on tight for that drop!
Silver is about purity. Only the purest Hip Hop, RnB and Garage tunes. With some of the best student DJs on campus dropping everything from the most chilled out RnB tracks of the late 90s and early 2000s, to the latest underground and mainstream Hip Hop bangers, Silver lets you step back in time and reminisce over some of the greatest Old Skool Garage classics that have embraced the charts.
Dj Sagio:
DJ Sagio is often regarded as one of the best student DJs that has graced Warwick campus. He has played at every single One World Week for the last 3 years including the final night events as well as being the main DJ for nights at Silver and Notorious Monday in Leamington. Come join him at the Summer Party for an illogical movement from Garage, Hip-Hop, Funk and even diving into some Electro.
Eve prides itself on exposing the freshest student DJs around and makes an enormous amount for their chosen charity, Everychild. Working with projects in Malawi, the Eve boys hope to make £15k for what is undoubtedly a great cause. As a celebration of their efforts, expect the best new music coming your way in The Second Stage with Eve Residents; 'The Pyjama Gurus', dropping everything from Breaks and Electro to Jump-Up DnB.
The Pyjama Gurus:
These two jokers in their sixth year at university have come to epitomise the Eve spirit. Playing a fun mix of Electro-House, Breakbeat and Jungle, they've entertained the crowds at Eve for the past year. This will surely be a set not to be missed.
Notorious has quickly established itself as Leamington's biggest student night with its mainstream Urban soundtrack. Notorious caters for everyone, with DJ Sellz traditionally kicking off the night before Sagio and John McNasty play to the masses in the main room, and the Audio Criminals takeover in the front room offering an alternative to the commercial sound. Who would have thought that a messy house party in South Leamington would have grown into this?
John McNasty:
Although described by some as "A Ginger Liability" there is much more to this DJ. Raised in Kingsbury, this 'aggy' North Londoner launched his career in Rootes E Block kitchen and the Inaugural Notorious House Party. John Mac A.K.A. The Return of the Mack has become one of the most in demand DJ's in Warwick. You can see him DJing at Silver, Eve, Rootes Kitchen and Notorious as well as many events in the SU. His music ranges from mainstream commercial RnB, to Hip Hop, Garage, House and Bhangra.
The cream of the campus crop get the opportunity to show off what they do at The Dirty Duck’s hugely popular live acoustic evenings. Hand-picked additions to the bill include:
Emily & Monica
James & Ellie
Lewis & Fran
Moyse & The Boyse
Ali
Richard & Lucy
+ more TBC
OTHER ATTRACTIONS
Don’t forget that in addition to the music there’s a free funfair and inflatable arena, a special 'Alice in Wonderland' theme at our Curiositea tent, an after-party in The Copper Rooms ’til 4am, and affordable food & drink available throughout the day! All this takes place on the lush fields behind University House on Sunday 26th June, and gives you an ideal opportunity to celebrate the end of exams with your friends and coursemates alike. If last year’s event was anything to go by, it’ll hopefully be a day of sunshine and merriment which will prove one of the year’s most unmissable highlights!
