Bank Holiday Monday 26 May, we ventured back again to Brockwell Park for the fourth, and final, day of the Brockwell Park festival marathon! Today it was City Splash that brought us here for a smorgasbord of black music, with Soca, Dancehall, Reggae, Afrobeats, Amapiano, and many more genres on offer. Over 30,000 people were in attendance at City Splash, with many donning flags and colours of their nations, it felt like a beautiful painting of the cultural melting point of th

Festival season 2025 is nearing an end, but it’s by no means over yet. Boundary Brighton provides a fantastic bookend to a wonderful summer, and this year they added an extra day! Located at Stanmer Park, Brighton, the festival brings a mix of mix of House, Drum & Bass, Jungle, Garage, Bass, and more across five stages. Taxi drop off was a little bit of a walk from the festival, but I often enjoy that part with the reverberating bass getting increasingly louder whilst chattin

Blackheath Fireworks – a Winter event that all of us who grew up in the Lewisham (and probably all of South East London) area would look forward to, a rite of passage almost. For years it was a night that we all looked forward to until, like a spark fading in the dark, it vanished. But now, six years on, the Heath will blaze back into life once more. Yes, Blackheath Fireworks Festival is back, bigger than ever, on Saturday, 1 November 2025 from 4 pm to 10:30 pm. Lewisham Coun

The 2025 festival season has made a lot of noise. The sun stuck around, the politics spilled onto the stages (and headlines), and the dust made half of us feel like we’d wandered into Dune.A gloriously plentiful choice in line-ups means it really does feel like there’s a festival for everyone - whether you were at a slick, brand-backed weekender or a scrappy DIY field party. This summer didn’t just show us what festivals look like now; it hinted at where they’re headed. Weath

Following our capers at Wide Awake and Field Day, we were back for day 3 of Brockwell Park’s festival extravaganza weekend – Cross The Tracks. Cross The Tracks has become a staple in our festival calendar, a packed line-up across 7 stages featuring some of the best artists, new and old, in Jazz, Funk & Soul – a real love letter to those genres. Morning weather check completed, festival fit sorted and ‘just in case’ rain jackets packed, and we were off to Brockwell Park. The p

On Friday 15th August, I had the pleasure of attending South Facing Festival at Crystal Palace Bowl in South East London. With Busta Rhymes headlining alongside Redman and Big Daddy Kane, this was a highly anticipated event for fans of all ages. Also on this already legendary line-up was Chali 2na, so you already knew the highest calibre of hip-hop was about to unfold. Arriving at Crystal Palace Park, you could feel the excitement building as attendees eagerly approached the

The last time I walked through the gates at Reading, I was an angsty yet overexcited 17-year-old, surrounded by similarly angsty yet excited 17-year-olds at various levels of sobriety. I’d just dramatically dropped out of sixth form and was itching for a weekend of parentless hedonism. I’m now a somewhat mature, recently married, almost 30-year-old, and going back to Reading initially felt like a strange thing to do. 'It’s for teenagers' I thought. 'I have no place amongst th

The people of London certainly love their wings, and the return of Wingfest brought the inevitable hype and excitement this year. Thousands of chicken lovers flocked to the Olympic Stadium in London for a weekend full of fun, food and cocktails from Friday 25th July – Sunday 27th July 2025. Entry was quick and seamless, with all attendees being gifted a free trucker hat of choice as part of their ticket, which was a nice touch. On entry you were welcomed by the unmistakable s
