Mac Book Pro: Radio 1’s Annie to headline Leeds Ball
I haven’t heard of ‘Kitten and the Hip’ either
This year’s Leeds Ball will be headlined by Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac, Ella Eyre and Sub Focus.
The end-of-year party at the Union will also feature Kitten and the Hip and DJ Sets from Propaganda and Andy H.
The announcement has had a mixed reception from would-be ball-goers.
English fourth-year and culture vulture Bob Palmer said: “It is pretty shit. I mean, Sub Focus are OK but a bit irrelevant.
“The only plus side is that Ella Eyre has great hair.”
The reaction on Twitter has been more positive.
Leeds ball looks awesome, can't wait! 👍 @LeedsUniUnion #leedsball pic.twitter.com/VzkvctU11l

Early bird tickets are on sale for the night priced at £29, with general sale tickets costing £34.
LUU have clearly gone all out to cater to every student’s whim, with attractions like a photobooth, fire show and roller disco.
“Sumptuous décor” is also promised, presumably in an effort to take people’s minds off the fact they’ve spent thirty quid going to a party in the Union building.
Leeds Ball will also feature a fun fair, laser quest, headphone disco and cocktail bar.
Last year’s ball was headlined by Rizzle Kicks, so today’s announcement has generally been seen as an improvement.
