Gaz Coombes has been confirmed for the inaugural OxfordOxford taking place Friday 26th – Sunday 28th September in South Park. Also confirmed is the event’s official charity partner, locally founded and leading international charity, Oxfam.
Three days of film, music and community activities are beginning to take shape as OxfordOxford unveils some of its inaugural programme. Friday’s theme will be film and the corn is popping in anticipation of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland and a special ‘sing-along’ screening of Grease.
Music will be the order of the day for Saturday with Gaz Coombes, Tunng, Pixel Fix and Dance a la Plage. A special ‘Movement Records Presents’ set will see Christian Gregory and Celeste (both Movement Records artists) curate a bespoke performance. OxfordOxford’s music headliner and further Saturday acts will be announced soon.
Last but by no means least, Sunday welcomes charities, community groups and more to OxfordOxford. Amongst the first to join the event are Dancin’ Oxford and the Museum of Oxford. Also present will be local independent espresso bar Missing Bean and G&D’s Ice Cream who will be developing a special flavor just for OxfordOxford. Any local groups, businesses or organisations who are interested in becoming involved are encouraged to get in touch via the OxfordOxford website.
Sunday will be free entry with tickets for the other days ranging from £6.25 to £32.50. Residents within the OX postcodes are able to purchase a special weekend discounted ticket at £43.25, £6 cheaper than the equivalent price of purchasing individual Friday and Saturday tickets.

Eleven 11 Events co-director, Owen Kent comments:
“After eighteen months of planning, we are thrilled to be announcing the initial elements of the OxfordOxford programme. Being able to celebrate the city through film, with Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, music, with local icon Gaz Coombes and all of the fantastic community activities on the Sunday is testament to Oxford’s cultural pedigree.
We are very excited about our next announcements for the weekend, especially the headline act for the Saturday music event – it will be an amazing show!
Staying true to the ethos of the event we are delighted to offer local residents the opportunity to purchase discounted weekend tickets.”
OxfordOxford takes place at South Park, Oxford between Friday 26th – Sunday 28th September.
