The Secret Garden Party Festival Preview

Are you revolting? Following hot on the heels of France (1789), the Russians (1917) and The Beatles (1968) comes the Secret Garden Party revolution (2008).

This week, rural Cambridgeshire is home once again to the eclectic festival where anything and everything goes. Leave your bayonets and kalashnikovs behind because here's what you'll find.

The theme this year is 'Come The Revolutions'. The Head Gardener has toiled the soil and everything in the Secret Garden is rosy and revolutionary.

Flower-power rules! Ladies and gentlemen I give you Grace Jones. Yes pull up to the bumper baby - it's true! The black rose blooms in East Anglia this summer. The hedgerow is also home to the English rose - Sarah Cracknell and the beautiful summer pop of Saint Etienne. Elsewhere Scottish flora takes over. Don't mess with those spiky thistles Sons & Daughters and breathe in the sweet pop fragrances of Glasvegas. Don't miss the blooming marvellous pop of Alphabeat or the laidback Morcheeba chilling in the breeze.

The soil is fertile for foreign invaders too. Lykke Li %u2013 blown in on a Scandinavian breeze %u2013 is sure to flourish and thanks to her hippy upbringing she'll be most at home with the rural revolutionaries. Brazilians Bonde Do Role are washed up from the Atlantic gulf-stream and take refuge in the garden while Operator Please leave the arid outback behind to play a song about ping pong. Be careful with the poisonous punk of Unity & Devision, like foxgloves they'll quicken the pulse and will quickly blow your mind.

The Head Gardener has scattered seeds far and wide throughout the Secret Garden. Late Of The Pier, Micachu, Thomas Tantrum, Shout Out Louds, Florence & The Machine, Cage The Elephant, The Shortwave Set, Sunny Day Sets Fire, Lacrosse, Noah & The Whale and thousands more beautiful people will take root in this little patch of Cambridgeshire.

Away from the music the final weekend of July is all about your own revolution. The Secret Garden is the place to explore themes of freedom, mind, body and soul at one of the many action camps. Participation is everything at the Secret Garden Party. You can feed the tree of knowledge at The Gateway area, which will buzz with tribal teachings, eastern philosophy and spiritual enlightenment. Check out the Twilight Revolution and seek out acoustic sessions, theatre and other visual delights. If this all sounds way too heavy you can just dress up, sit back and fuel the revolution with a smile.

Explore and indulge in your wildest fantasies %u2013 the revolution begins within.

The Secret Garden Party Festival takes place from tomorrow, there are about 100 tickets left at the time of writing, and full line-up information can be found at the festival website.
