Field Day: the DiS review
DiS sends five of its finest out east for the first-ever Field Day festival. On-the-day gripes aside - beer and toilet queues being the biggest thorn in the debut festival's side - in hindsight the bill was one of the best around this summer. DiS gets stuck into it...»
Summercase 2007: the DiS review
DiS heads to Barcelona for the second time this year - following Primavera at the end of May - for Summercase. What we find: a drunk Lily Allen, a chilled-out Chemical Brothers, and some dodgy scotch...»
The Weekly DiScussion: our alternative Mercury list...
So the Mercury nominations for this year aren’t so bad, a couple of proper WTF examples aside (The View? Really? Come on…).

Ladyfest London 2002: preview
Look at the line ups for the main music festival this summer. Notice anything peculiar? No, me neither.
