Live music booking now

Pitchfork are putting on their annual European festival (1-3 Nov, Paris), and those who make the trip over the channel will be rewarded with a suitably cool lineup featuring Death Grips, Animal Collective, M83 and the Walkmen … Staying on the festival tip, Shakedown goes down a slightly more mainstream route with headliners including Dizzee Rascal, Chase And Status and everyone's favourite energy-drink ambassador Professor Green (6 Oct, Stanmer Park, Brighton) … The Bugged Out Weekender is set to return this January to warm (or completely blow away) the post-yuletide blues (18–20 Jan, Butlins Bognor Regis). It features the djing skills of Ben UFO, Blawan and the recently rejuvenated Erol Alkan ... Stepping away from dance music for a second, there's still time to hit the first Liverpool Psychedelic Festival (29 Sep, Camp & Furnace), an all-day/nighter with Dead Skeletons, Hookworms and Palma Violets … Finally, Blood Diamonds (6-12 Nov, tour begins Soup Kitchen, Manchester) is taking his Ellie Goulding-backed electro to some cozy venues.
