Completing our main stage line-up for Saturday night are Hidden Charms!

These four young lads from London have just come back to the UK after recording with Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids / Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zero’s) & Nick Waterhouse at LA's legendary Sound City Studios, birthplace of huge albums by Fleetwood Mac and Red Hot Chili Peppers as well as Nirvana's classic, Nevermind.

Now back home, they’ve headed into the studio with Charlie Hugall (Florence & The Machine /The Maccabees) to finish their debut EP and are touring all over the UK - we're delighted that Corpus has made the list of stops.

With Glastonbury pedigree to boot, Hidden Charms' signature blues-rock sound and top musicianship across the board are set to take them a long way.

Be sure to check out a preview of what they have to offer below, and to pay their page a visit.

Not long left now! Today, we're thrilled to announce that Mama Brass & The Funk Parade will be opening our main stage!

They are an Oxford-based 8-piece New Orleans/Funk/Brass collective featuring seasoned musicians from the local scene. Taking inspiration from bands such as the Hot 8, Youngblood, and Soul Rebels Brass Bands, Mama Brass combines funky grooves with Balkan beats and cheeky reworkings of pop tunes.

They've been making a noise on the Oxford scene recently, with performances including a Cornmarket pop-up gig and Holy Funk @ Freud and they're ready to keep spreading the funk. We're incredibly happy they've chosen to do so at Corpus.

In their own words: "Trombones, trumpets, tubas, tubettes. Sax, and s*x. All the rest." We look forward to it.

Check out their cover of Marvin Gaye's monster hit below, as well as their page for even more videos.

With only a few weeks to go until the big day, we've got a flurry of musical announcements still to come your way.

First up, we are super excited to announce that Positive Vibes Crew will be hitting up our headline spot on the main stage! The Crew are three DJs, MCs and vocalists, spinning everything from reggae to dancehall to dub to hip hop to afrobeats and everything in between. Simply: music guaranteed to keep you dancing and feeling the love.

Coming out of Oxford in 2011 and now with a base in Berlin, these guys are truly international, having toured London, Ibiza, Poland, Jamaica and Shanghai alongside the likes of Busy Signal and Gentlemen's Dub Club.

To ramp things up a bit more, we're honoured that their 1.5hr set at Corpus Ball will signal the start of the European Tour for their brand new EP! The performance will include a live band before the DJs truly take over.

Get ready for things to get hot.

A huge announcement for you today: the DJs from No Scrubs will be closing the main stage with a special two hour set!

Originating in Bristol, No Scrubs caused big waves on arrival on the Oxford scene - tickets for their nights have been selling out quicker than you can say "snapback" and the new kids have instantly become the hottest thing on the block. Playing all the hits from the 90s and 00s which we know and love, this is guaranteed to be a wild and energetic set to keep you grooving through the wee hours.

Make sure you and your friends don't miss out! http://www.corpusball.co.uk/ for tickets.

We are delighted to announce the second act ready to hit our second stage in a big way come May: RundFunk Oxford!

In their own words: "RundFunk is a new night all about bringing Berlin’s infamous nightlife and music scene to Oxford: from Berghain to the Bodleian and from Kreuzberg to Kornmarket. Expect funky-ass house music and raucous revelry."

Their DJs will be setting up a great vibe early in the evening to welcome you into our twisted Wonderland, before cranking things up to full madness once the sun has set and darkness has fallen. We cannot wait.

In the meantime, check out their Promo mix for a little flavour of what to expect: https://soundcloud.com/rundfunkoxford/rundfunk-promo-mix

And why not get down to Carbon tonight to hear them in the flesh? Guaranteed to be a crazy night (live video DJ set?!). https://www.facebook.com/events/1392225361046239/?fref=ts
