The Big Moon practise festival filth dodging in their new ‘Cupid’ video

The Big Moon have never been afraid of getting a bit mucky. In our Class Of 2016 chat with the group, they gleefully chucked coffee all over our dictaphone and recounted the times they’ve eaten dog food; in our new Festival Guide, they tell us all their smuttiest, shittiest festival memories. In their new video for latest banging single ‘Cupid’, though, they enter an all-new plain of mess-making.

Setting up shop in a remarkably clean and shiny room, it takes exactly 47 seconds for The Big Moon to turn the whole place into a complete fucking state. Paint, flour, confetti, glitter, beach balls - the whole contents of every party shop in the country is flung at the four-piece, as they try valiantly to bust through their latest single. It’s barmy as hell, and has all the makings of a truly iconic clip. The clean-up operation must have been hell, mind.

Read the DIY verdict on ‘Cupid’ here (spoiler: we really like it).
