Example, Diana Vickers and Tinchy Stryder are the acts set to be playing Royal Holloway’s Summer Ball on 4th June 2010.

The Stage

Vickers has received acclaim for her single “Once” which reached number one on Sunday 25th April, while her album “Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree” was top of the album charts midweek, and is expected to hold the top spot later today.

London-born rapper, Tinchy Stryder has had plenty of attention in the charts since his top-ten collaboration with Taio Cruz “Take Me Back”. His recent single, “You’re Not Alone” made it into the Chart Top 20 and the rapper played his part in the 2009 charity single “I Got Soul” performed by a collaboration of artists calling themselves Young Soul Rebels.

Example, who graduated from Royal Holloway in 2003, is the voice behind hits such as “Watch the Sun Come Up”, “Won’t Go Quietly” and the new Sub Focus-produced “Kickstarts”, which was featured as Zane Lowe’s Record of the Week on Radio 1 for 13th April and is set to be released sometime in June. The single has also been remixed by Fenech Soler.

These are the only acts to have been confirmed via Twitter by the Students’ Union so far (www.twitter.com/SURHUL_ENTS), but the Summer Ball’s Official Facebook event does mention Royal Holloway’s own Undergraduated playing the Ball, following an ongoing campaign by its members and fans.
