Introduction to… Theme Park
Theme Park are twin brothers Miles and Marcus Haughton and friends Louie Bhose and Oscar Manthorpe. They met at school and grew up making music together. Since then they have developed into a band, frequently compared to Talking Heads, not least because of their David Byrne-esque vocals.
Give us a brief introduction to Theme Park.
Theme Park are four friends, we met at primary school and secondary school!
What can people expect when they come to your live shows?
Hopefully some nice songs and a bit of dancing! But you never know…
If you could get one band to reform who would it be?
Cajun Dance Party!
How do you think Ley Lines will impact upon Oxford’s music scene?
Ley Lines should be a really good opportunity for Oxford people to find some new bands they’re interested in!

DHP Concerts are proud to announce outstanding British singer songwriter Jamie Woon is to headline Ley Lines festival at 02 Academy 1, Oxford, along with breakthrough London rock act Futures who will top the bill at Academy 2, heading a sonic gathering of contemporary talent performing at new multi-venue festival across the Oxford suburb of OX4 this October.
Already renowned for showcasing the hottest acts at Dot To Dot festival plus over 100 concerts annually in Oxford, national promoters DHP say festival-goers should expect something new, with a hand-picked line-up of treats from the best young artists and producers on the UK circuit from indie-pop, dubstep, electronica, rock and everything in between.
The first wave of acts to be announced includes the hottest band since Prince became a symbol and !!! was pronounceable ∆ ALT J, Liverpool based producer Melé, aka Krissy Peers, who has already made waves with his high-energy rave-minded concoctions; one-man experimental noise machine Hyetal; new London pop act Theme Park whose chiming synths and rolling percussion have gained comparisons to Talking Heads and Bon Iver; plus gothic multi-instrumentalist Catherine A.D, enigmatic indie rockers Anothers Blood, and hazy shoegaze and beat driven electronica from South Wales duo Man Without Country. Mix this lot up with the top of the Oxford crop and you’ll sample the freshest sounds of 2011 across venues in OX4!
