Busted headline Harper Adams Summer Ball - with pictures and video
Students proved the summer ball is What They Go To School For when they turned up to cheer on pop-rockers Busted.
They Boy band headlined this year’s Harper Adams Summer Ball, where other acts included Example, Disciples and DJ Wire on Saturday at the ball on June 24.
About 2,500 students and guests danced the night away from 4pm to 4am, in a change from the traditional 7pm to 7am which has happened for the last 20 years.
This year’s theme was "Welcome to the Jungle", and a collection of animals were lent for the stage from the British Ironwork Centre based in Oswestry.
SU President Fred Hammond said: "We could not have asked for it to run any better this year.
"We implemented a lot of changes, which enabled us to have a line up as big as this.”
Gemma Tibbles, SU Commercial Manager, said: “We work with some of the big London agencies to book our acts through, all of which have commented, that we had the biggest line-up of any university in the country.”
Busted had been on stage in the morning at Glastonbury and played to an audience of more than 100,000 they then packed their stage up and headed to Edgmond.
Matt Willis half way through their set commented that the Harper Adams crowd were much livelier than their Glastonbury crowd.
