Resuming duties on our favourite bit of grass Clapham Common, for a sixth consecutive summer, Get Loaded In The Park and South West Four will be kicking off the August Bank Holiday weekend in traditional fashion with dance-all-dayer South West Four on Saturday 29th August, followed by the indie-dance-loving Get Loaded in the Park on Sunday 30th August.

Lambeth Council have just granted the licence for 2009, so we’re expecting another sell out 40,000 crowd, split across the two days.
