Another year, another weather-confused bank holiday weekend, and another great set of artists from across the country, across the globe, and across the entire rock genre. Slam Dunk Festival has arrived in full force, and down in the grassy grounds of Leeds' Temple Newsam.

Cross the Tracks may not have the media attention of Wide Awake this year; but it still operates as a vital spot on the festival circuit offering up a celebration of the best of the past, present and future of Jazz in Brockwell Park that earn the festival’s status as the No. 1 funk and soul festival in London.

It’s that time of the year again. The start of festival season for many, it’s time to put on your eyeliner, shove on your raincoat, and return to Hatfield once more: it's Slam Dunk 2025.

Live at Leeds returns for another indie showdown at Temple Newsham. 

Wide Awake 2025 will go down as one of the most poignant festivals of the summer, as thousands flocked to Brockwell Park in solidarity with live music and live music venues, Palestine and Kneecap…and to catch a glimpse of the legend Jeremy Corbyn. 

Desertfest takes over Camden’s metal scene for a stoner/prog rock weekend of the best of that scene in the best independent venues in London.

Every May, a surreal combination of 6 Music Dads, mullet-boasting Brightonians, and champagne-swilling industry types converge in Brighton for 4 days of musical exploration. Yes, it could only be The Great Escape, back with another stellar lineup of emerging talent.
