Supersonic Festival 2025 – Sunday

Supersonic is the most forward-thinking and open minded-festival in the UK by far, and long may this continue. With only good vibes, and an eclectic gathering of artists and musicians from all across the globe converging on Birmingham, there is something for everyone. . .
Supersonic Festival 2025 – Saturday

Friday starts later and Sunday is usually a little more mellow (until The Bug anyway), but Saturday is the overstuffed filling in the festival sandwich – a ridiculous but delicious feast.

Battling mounting odds, and the encroaching horde of dead-eyed money men, the Supersonic crew keep the torches burning for the experimental and the just plain weird. Despite continuing venue difficulties, 2025’s edition of the festival was as great as ever, a defiant celebration of musical exploration and the shared magic of performance.

Bear Stone Festival 2025 – Part One

Welcome to Bear Stone Festival: a liminal zone where only the best values of the outside world still apply. When the sun’s out, it’s beach vibes all day; when it goes down, the trees seem to close in and create a fairy glade where real magic and pleasant madness can occur.

Desertfest London 2025

Once again, twelve years down the line, Desertfest still delivers a wonderful weekend, balancing the safe, solid and predictable with plenty of surprises along the way.
