Whilst making my way towards the stage for the Vampire Weekend set at Coachella this year, I went to make a move between two ladies standing roughly half a metre apart. One of the ladies saw me coming, turned her nose up and shuffled across to fill the space. Being a little drunk and keen to fill the gaps nearer the front, I nudge past with a brief “Sorry Love” as I went. I turned to see her flip me off, which fuelled my antagonistic side and I blew her a kiss before heading further forward just in time to see her turn slowly purple. This was not the first time during this festival that I was met with similar hostility in a sparsely packed crowd and with the UK festival season underway, I began to pose the question, to push or not to push?

Chew Lips, Dirty Vegas, Alex Metric, Drums of Death, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool and Scarlet Harlots are the latest acts to be confirmed for GlobalGathering and will play the festival's Live Stage at the mammoth tenth anniversary event, 30-31 July in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
Relative newcomers to the festival scene, Chew Lips are tipped to be the next Florence and The Machine in terms of breakthrough artists. The band consist of lead singer Tigs, bassist Will and guitarist James and have been playing music together for just over two years. Compared by many to Hot Chip, the band's style of electro-pop is tinged with Yeah Yeah Yeahs-esque soul that never fails to enthrall their audiences.
