With over one billion worldwide streams and his hit single, 'You Don't Know Me' hitting number three in the UK charts, Jax Jones, is set to take 2018 by storm and it all starts at Royal Holloway this January. We've not stopped there though, and joining him on the line-up is 21-year-old East London rapper Yxng Bane who has surged the charts with his remix of Ed Sheeran's 'Shape of You' and his own single, 'Rhianna'.

Add in a whole host of club and society taster sessions at our Give It A Go afternoon to give you a taste of what you've been missing, a morning brunch rave and a black tie casino night and you've got the recipe for a cracking first week back.

Hint: Try searching for a society name, a club name or a location.
