Quite often the best or worst night of the year - there aren’t many guarantees on a New Year’s Eve night out other than the inevitable transition into the new year itself. Will I get my midnight kiss? Will I even make it to midnight? Have I just already broken my new year’s resolution…? All these questions we cannot answer. However, what we can provide is a line-up that won’t disappoint. We present Bugged Out NYE – brought to you by The Hydra. With the mission to bring the f

Last year was the first time we went to Love Saves The Day, and it was genuinely one of the best we went to all summer, and it was one of the first! Situated in Bristol, the metropolitan hub that’s often forgotten to its ‘older brother’ London, it was spread over two days, fantastically blending underground and popular music within their line up. Championing what Bristol itself is all about. Every year the festival grows, coming from its inaugural days as a one day music fest

When you think of Blackpool you may think of ice creams, sandcastles and long family holidays you probably didn’t want to be on . . . and well, it’s still like that. BUT there’s now an unmissable music festival to go alongside it. And there you were thinking that music festival season was over right? Move aside Christmas, December has company. One night, five rooms, and twelve hours of dance – Blackpool Rocks returns for the third year with a top class line up. Billed as the

Changing from one venue to another over the previous three years, it feels like the festival’s finally found its home. Set over two days, and including the option of camping from the Friday, it was the proper festival experience people were looking for – and being so close to the city centre it was near enough for those who prefer a slightly more luxurious festival experience. It was a celebration of music across the electronic spectrum, and brought the biggest names and tale

Getting there is an adventure in itself. Many choose to drive, followed by taking the obligatory ferry, and arriving feels like a wonderful light at the end of a metaphorical tunnel. This is Bestival – and its beacon shone brightly on the Isle of Wight. The colourful, imaginative uniqueness that sets it apart from other festivals was set to end the music festival season with a bang. The 80,000devotees embraced the Summer of Love theme, and the year on year vision of Rob Da Ba

A relaxing alternative Sponsored by John Lewis, On Blackheath festival, now in its second year was a friendly festival situated on the gorgeous grassy heath of Blackheath Village, just south of Greenwich. It’s an expensive area and the demographic felt as though it was mainly from South Londoners there to enjoy the family-friendly event, which prides itself with its focus on good food, drink and music. The line-up isn’t radically different to last year with the Manic Street P

Forget about work - let's rave Whistles and glowsticks were mandatory – United Festival took you back in time to the days where people just danced, not caring in the slightest what they looked like.

Found Series provided another instalment of their summer of music festivals, each with it’s own unique identity – but all coming together as one.

Summer's not over yet... Found Series provided another instalment of their summer of music festivals, each with it’s own unique identity – but all coming together as one.

What you’re coming into is a music festival, with a line-up comprised of popular musical artists; music otherwise known as ‘Pop’. Now, people give this supposed ‘Pop’, conformist culture a bad rep – but this music is popular for a reason right? If you’re the kind of person who’d prefer the avant-garde feel a Glastonbury provides – this may not be your thing. For the rest of us, V Festival is a celebration of mainstream music. V Festival’s 20th anniversary just so happened to

The South rises... Never trust a weather app was the first thought. On an expectedly cloudy and drab day, the sun reached out through the clouds, giving the crowd of variously styled vest wearers what they desired. The move from East to South London had no effect on the House and Techno revellers that this festival attracts – after all, we all want to act silly and party during the day don’t we? (Well, maybe not some people, but apart from them – EVERYBODY DOES.) The queues w
