Supernormal festival’s annual celebration of weird, wonderful and wacky music, art and culture takes place over the weekend of 9 August to 11 August at Braziers Park, Ipsden. The line-up is flippin’ massive – check it out in its awesome entirety here – but for a bit of fun here are eight excellent musical selections, presented without explanation to let you make up your own mind, that are not to be missed if you’re heading to the festival…

1. Shit & Shine

2. Terminal Cheesecake

3. Caravan Of Whores

4. Bass Clef

5. Mugstar

6. Clinic

7. Hookworms

8. Coma Wall

To be honest, pretty much the entire line-up falls under the ‘excellent’ bracket – the above are just some choice picks.

Day tickets are available for £40 per day, or £30 for the Friday. By way of an informative bit of story-telling, here’s how the organisers describe Supernormal:

“Supernormal draws a well of inspiration from its location in the Oxfordshire countryside, Braziers Park: the grounds of a 17th century mansion morphed into a Strawberry Gothic folly, Braziers Park has its own countercultural links spanning decades – from John Latham and R.D. Laing to Marianne Faithfull (and Mick Jagger), and is still home to Britain’s oldest secular community. The event is an evolution of BIAW (Braziers International Artists Workshop), an artists’ collective which began a residency at Braziers Park in 1995, working in a multi-disciplinary way with artists from around the world.”

“Supernormal is a three-day, experimental arts and music festival at Braziers Park in Oxfordshire, presenting an innovative weekend of art-focused practice in unfamiliar settings where both impromptu and timetabled events can surprise and delight. A collaborative event embracing art and music outside of the mainstream, Supernormal remains determinedly small and intimate (capacity: 1,000) and has been born from a place that values the currency of ideas and imagination rather than commercialism and profit.”
