But probably no one celebrates it the way Cambridge students do. The celebration is held on a large scale and a huge amount of alcohol. But this year students will be lying drunk on the streets not in classic suits and evening dresses, but in unusual outfits or even without them at all. After all, the theme of the May 2018 ball is the music of the spheres.

The May Ball is one of the most important events in the life of Cambridge students. It takes place after passing exams in June. In 2018, about one and a half thousand students took part in the celebration.
This time, the students abandoned the classic costumes and ball gowns. The theme of the ball was the music of the spheres, so the students approached the choice of outfits with imagination, and some even abandoned clothes altogether.
The music of the spheres is a concept that originated in ancient Greece. Thinkers believed that celestial bodies could create music. Cambridge students made this concept the theme of the ball, armed with paints, sequins and unusual outfits.
Some students didn't bother much. One girl just covered her nipples with silver stickers, the other put on black underwear, stockings and a wire skirt frame. Men also borrowed things from the ladies' wardrobe: skirts, wigs, fishnet stockings, long dresses.
The ball is not a free pleasure. This year, a ticket to the event cost 70 pounds. The headliner was DJ Mr. Scruff.
