Celebrating our 50^th this year, Churchill will be bringing in the Spring of 2010 in true sixties style: with more psychedelic ents than you can shake a Woodstock stick at, to help you twist and shout your hardest day's night away like Yoko Ono after a steamy voyage on a lemon-tinted submersible.

Bowling you over on the night (with more force than a rapidly-tumbling stone) will be:

• The Rumble Strips — "If you see The Rumblestrips live, I defy you not to have a good time" - Drowned in Sound
• Human table football — because Germany didn't hurt enough the first time around.
• Moon-landing ball pit — for the conspiracy-theorists and the cheese-connoisseurs.
• Bowling alley — see to the pins with more drunken fervour than Mick Jagger on brown sugar!
• Silent disco — deep in the concrete, time-sealed cavern of the Archives Centre, why rave to the same song as your mates when their music taste is so much worse? Build buttercups your own way!
• Churchill Casino — the biggest casino in Cambridge brings you the perfect place to act out your tuxedoed 007 fantasies — without the danger of getting your crotch lasered!
• Giant Twister — in the sixties, sensibly sized Twister was unfathomable.
• Cuban Missile Crisis Cool-down Room — a relaxing massage parlour, for when the stress of preventing nuclear war/avoiding that ComSci with a thing for you becomes all too much!
• Beatles Rock Band — for an intoxicated, glorious fifteen minutes you are the British Invasion!

In three days of peace, love and music, who really cared about the peace and love? Tenderness never sold tickets, so we've filled our stages with a musical storm to escape all teacups:

• Blueprint — Cambridge's premier boyband will reduce girls and guys to screaming sixties groupie wrecks.
• Cadenza — the a cappella siren song of these Cambridge beauties wooed the nation on Last Choir Standing.
• EllaFunks — these up-and-coming Cambridge stars take no prisoners — you will dance to the funk-soul sound.
• Churchill Jazz Band — feel the crescendo that only brass can bring with Churchill's finest.
• Faith Taylor — Brimming with wit, Faith's perceptive folk-pop is pierced beautifully by her haunting high wire voice. Hear her here first.

In the whirling, jarring heat of the night there is an oasis of laughter to be found in the vast Wolfson Hall. Should you need, but for a moment, to rest your legs before you return to the fray, then exercise your jaw with the rising talent that just might grace our stages and our televisions by 2020:

• The Oxford Imps — Bored of the Footlights? Us too. That's why we've shipped that other university's top comedians. Fresh from last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, comic gold is served as standard.
• ICE — TCS described them as "the Nintendo Wii of theatre". We like Wii's, we hope you like ICE.
• Dannish Babar — Smoker regular Dannish is earning him self the reputation on the Cambridge scene as a very funny/odd man.
• Phil Wang — If his stand up is as funny as his name, you're sure for some great laughs.
• Jake Hoskyns — A home grown Churchill comic, he popped his cherry at this year's Virgin Smoker. This time round he's hoping he'll last at least ten minutes.
