Green Man Festival 2011 - The DiS Review
O festival season what ails ye? Why does this fractured summer of 2011 choose to raise its ire with the likes of Truck, Supernormal and the Big Chill? Aye there’s the saturation point, the tough times of the economy, the rising ticket prices; but these were festivals that had dug their own niche, the ones that were presumed solid on the basis that they were doing things “their own way.” The piles of un-stubbed tickets that are left lying in the printers are a metaphor for the festival season, so many would have you believe, ever more available but many fewer taken upon.

A Field Day Q&A: Tom Baker on London's newest festival
What’s that, looming on the horizon? Why, it’s another new festival, threatening to steal custom away from the other 3,459 day-long-or-more events clogging up the calendars of music lovers nationwide. But wait a second: Field Day is a) pretty blimmin’ special, and b) right on your doorstep. Well, so long as your doorstep’s in London, anyway. DiS’s is. Get in...»
Latitude Festival 2007: the DiS review
Latitude has swiftly become a deep-rooted fixture on an ever expanding festival circuit, offering weary Glastonbury revellers an opportunity to recharge under the Suffolk sun and various meeejia folks the chance to check out a series of fine 'adult-orientated' headliners. DiS dispatched a handful of critical sorts to Henham Park, in Southwold, and asked them to select their personal standouts and new DiScoveries...»
DiS @ SXSW: the review
DiS went to South By Southwest t’other week. Perhaps you saw our amazing preview content? Touch wood.

You won’t read about them here...»
