In what's unquestionably the cheesiest show of the year, 80s New Romantic popsters The Human League are to headline a massive rave on Clapham Common hosted by School Disco.

Fellow 80s eye liner lovers ABC, Limahl (Kajagoogoo), and Modern Romance will also be playing live at the daytime event, which takes place on Saturday July 13th from midday. Organisers are hoping to attract up to 40,000 over grown school kids, all of whom are in their 20s and 30s.

School Disco is undoubtedly one of the strangest (sub) club cultures to have emerged in the last 10 years, rejecting contemporary clubbing for a return to 80s pop music, strict school uniform and shameless dancefloor snogging. Its strict virtually fetishistic dress code attracts women in miniskirts and fishnets and men in white shirts and lose ties, which can be interesting when they all get on tube trains at the same time.

Clubbers staying in Ibiza's low budget British dominated town of San Antonio will also be able to enjoy watching hundreds of overage schoolkids strolling past, since the club will also be hosting Friday night parties at Eden throughout the summer.
