So here are some tips for Sunday 9th October 2016 (and the April 2017 resale) when the tickets go on sale: 1. Don’t have it large on the Saturday night As much as you may want to go out on the

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.

Not to mention the line up including The Wytches and The Thurston Moore Band. 2. F

Bugged Out are renowned for partying and they're one of the longest running club nights, having been around for over 20 years. This in itself should be enough to tell you that you're in for a treat. Apparently a standard Bugged Out event just wasn't enough, so they decided to step it up this year, teaming up with Dreamland Margate for the first time. The ticket didn't just get you a whole day of fantastic music, it also allowed free reign of the amusement park – not your stan
