Fancy getting back the money from your festival tickets purchase? Fill in our festival survey and you could be ensnaring just that. And on that topic...

Festivals

Foo Fighters have sadly had to pull out of Glastonbury (Florence + the Machine will replace them), but we were there to see Fleetwood Mac make IOW - magical stuff for what will go down as maybe the greatest performance this summer. In other news, Festival No. 6 have released their Woodlands line up and we took a look at the Dominican Republic's festival Groove Fest - certainly better weather than the drab sky I'm currently gloomily looking at.

We also reviewed Wild Life and Field Day, both great days out. Looking for lighter entertainment at festivals? We picked five comedians you should try and see this year, as well five festival fashions and crafting the ultimate festival checklist - have you got everything you need?

Clubs

Tonight We Love starts in Sankeys Ibiza with Rudimental - boy what a season they've got lined up. Carl Craig will be making up part of their replacement on at Space on Sundays, and we were lucky enough to attend the Together opening party on the island.

On to matters on these shores - Annie Mac has released a compilation album, Covert have a stack of events lined up at Manchester's Gorilla and our favourite Carlisle lunatics Uber will show off Green Velvet, Claude Vonstroke and Jackmaster this August Bank Holiday.

Live Music

A man who can no wrong in my eyes, Mac DeMarco, has a new video, and it's just glorious. There's tour news for Glasto headliners Florence + The Machine and Finley Quaye, and live music is looking great at Ibiza Rocks this summer, so we made a playlist rounding up some of the best bits.

That's it for me, I'm going to pretend I'm still watching Fleetwood Mac and not beyond depressed at the rain.
