We're jumping into bed with the lovely lot at Milk Filth to bring a few of our favourites back to The Shack.

It is time, my friends, once again for us to get spooky.

A double rollover means the biggest festival to date, with not one weekend, not two weekends, but an additional midweek lineup to boot.

Holy hell we're at it a-bloody-gain. Release your inner demons with Dirty, Dead Horse, The Black Lagoons, Big Peyote, Marlon Bianco & The Clones, Enemy of The People and DJs to boot.

You'll cry, you'll go into existential crisis, you'll dance. Our recommendations for the weekend ahead.

Saturday sees Warmduscher bring their deliciously depraved brand of sleaze rock to the stage at EartH, London.

Roadkill Records are back with another incredible Summer weekender, and yours truly are DJing the Sunday hangover shift. Enjoy a run down of what we think of Sunday's line-up.

The first announcement for the third installment of Oxford’s Ritual Union is here. And it’s a good’un.

Here’s the low down on the highs of Beat Connection... Apologies if that sentence was too much of a roller coaster for you.

Hold the phone, Did someone say a killer line-up at one of Reading’s most prized venues? No. No-one did. But that is what's happening next weekend.

We’re back from our day in Ox, and ready to brag about what a day we had. Come listen.

Our fave new festival is back for round two this October, and we’re more than a little excited.

We're headed back to Slam Dunk Festival, and as you can imagine, we're already pretty pumped.

It's not the first Roadkill of the new year, and it's not our first 2018 DJ set either. What it most certainly is, is the only way to kiss Dry January goodbye.

The Coronet stage has been graced by the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Justin Timberlike in the last 138 years. Last Friday night fell somewhere between the two.

Was our Halloween party a success? Depends... By the end of our headliner's set, the entire front row of the crowd had been thrown out for tearing shit up.

‍London has a new music festival to join the already packed roster of festivals across the country in what we laughingly call summer.

One day. Four venues. Too many unmissable bands to count. The birth of brand-new festival Ritual Union is nigh, and you’ll want to snap your ticket up ASAMFP.

Serving your Halloween plans to you on a platter. Dress to distress.

As the weather is currently making London look like wet newspaper, we’re gazing longingly into the future at the (fingers crossed) Indian Summer of Bestival 2017.

It is no exaggeration to say that Citadel 2017 is a true cornucopia of everything everyone wants to do. Well maybe just a small one.

This week we headed down to End of the Road (September 2-5, Larmer Tree Gardens) for a weekend of good clean fun.

Fashionably late, unfortunately wet.

Here’s the low down on the highs of Beat Connection... Apologies if that sentence was too much of a roller coaster for you.

We sent three theatre experts to a unique show at the Soho Theatre.

Chris Patmore tends to keep his festival activity to just one a year because: camping. And people. This year Kendal Calling's line up took the biscuit.

Reading’s annual charity music festival once again proves its worth.

In four words? Don't miss next year.

As veteran Field Day-ers, we're well aware that absorbing more than one day at a time of that much nonsense is too much for one writer, so we split it. Charlotte tackled Saturday.

With Field Day and Download Festival on the same weekend, we managed to drag ourselves to both – because we wanted to go to both, not because we double-booked ourselves. Obviously.

We partied all afternoon with the Roadkill Records team, things got weird, Rupert Hitchcox took photos.

It looks like our intrepid reporter made it all the way through Y Not Festival's tenth bithday weekend. It also looks like we should have a sponsorship deal with Hooch.
