WORK to transform South Park has begun with this year's Common People festival less than a week away.

Organisers moved onto the site over the weekend to begin preparations for the two-day event May 26-27.

Oxford band Ride will headline the event along with James and The Jacksons.

Indie-rock band Ride will headline the Sunday line-up at Common People festival in South Park in a joint headline set with pop act James.

Saturday's disco-themed line-up is headed up by The Jacksons, who will play in the shadow of the world's largest disco ball, which will be suspended over the park.

The festival over the late May Bank Holiday weekend will also feature the world's biggest bouncy castle.

Tickets are £57.50 for an adult weekend ticket or £30 for an adult day ticket, from commonpeople.net
