From the archive... A lot muddy and a little the worse for wear, DiS' team of intrepid reviewers braved the weather at this year's Bestival on the Isle of Wight to bring you their highlights of the weekend, including My Bloody Valentine, CSS, The Specials, Aphex Twin, Neon Neon, Thomas Tantrum and much, much more»
Send one DiS writer to the first-ever Connect festival? We think not. Here, three intrepid festival-goers – Jordan Dowling, Dom Gourlay and Dave Kerr – bring us their experiences of three days that can only be summarised as: a muddy festival in Inveraray, Scotland. With some ace bands, as it happened…»
Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Download, Latitude, Bestival, Connect, Field Day, Truck, Lodestar... the list goes on. Just which festivals are worth your hard-earned cash, and can newer festivals survive in an over-saturated market? DiS's Ben Yates asks for your opinions...»
How could a festival boasting 22 stages with names like Lush Reggae Positive Vibration Stage, Tuborg HappyNoviSad Stage and Latino Be Positive Stage fail to be brilliant? DiS heads to Serbia's Exit Festival to find out about its East Anglia roots... and to see some bands... »
For a whole week, we barely touched a drop: too expensive, too cold, not a thing like what us Brits are used to. A dry county, Hove might as well have been; not a sip, not a tipple. For a week, teetotal. Lies: we just didn’t eat...»
It serves them right to suffer. While some of us sat scratching our arses from the comfort of our living rooms, occasionally pushing the red button to keep Jo Whiley at bay, some idiots actually went to Glastonbury. But we're not bitter. No. It would have been nice to have an invite, but that's all history now. Here, DiS’s Ben Patashnik, Joshua Cole and Georgina Terry attempt to fashion coherent narratives from their weekends of mud-soaked madness…»
T’other weekend, London’s Hyde Park played host to the now annual (and twin-site) O2 Wireless Festival. DiS was on site to catch some of the acts. Not literally, you understand – that would require a net too large for men of our stature to handle...»
Harnessing the energy of a rare minute in which a disparate range of artists from the past and present can look to the future and plausibly congregate on the same bill, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California has steadily become world renowned as the proverbial melting pot, tripping over itself with cultural icons both obscure and ubiquitous...»
One of the many things with which I struggle on my stumble through this hung-over farrago of protoplasm and pheromone-chasing called life, is defining exactly what it is that the radio show PMS does. What we’re there for, and why we do it...»
Yes, we realise this month’s A Month In Records is roughly a week late, but we’ve been suffering from something of an Our 66 hangover (click it for a link!). It’s okay, though: the painkillers have finally kicked in and, a few sour faces aside, we’re firing on all cylinders again.»
