It's no longer dark when we finish work and winter is on the verge of becoming a distant memory, as bank holidays, sunshine soaked beaches and dancing in fields all become possible again. 2015 is starting to get its act together...

Festivals

The likes of Latitude, Wickerman and V Festival all had big line up announcements this week, and you can now get tickets for Creamfields with ourselves. There's plenty more news incoming as well, you might as well bookmark our Festival News page to keep on top of it all.

Fancy something with more assurance of sun? Our Croatian Festival Spotify Playlist (listen above) is that good you'll need to wear Factor 15 to listen. Also check out our killer competition for Outbreak Festival, with VIP tickets and signed Armand Van Helden vinyls among the prizes.

Clubs

JESuS is heading to Leeds, the four way DJ supergroup of epic proportions already a standout for Bank Holiday show of the year. Ahead of the D&B Awards on Saturday we spoke with host Evil B, and got excited about a handful of DJ sets from bass warriors Pendulum forthcoming on these shores.

The March podcast is here, featuring Paul Van Dyk in the mix ahead of Digital Society on Friday. We've also taken a look at The Arch which opens in Brighton this weekend, whilst the Hot Flush showcase in Leeds looks a good punt. 

Live Music

Luxury rap superstar Rick Ross heads to Manchester soon, the same city where you can catch men of the moment Peace DJing. Electronic experimentalist Bunty is heading to Bristol, Tune Yards will be in Liverpool Cathedral this weekend whilst Synth rockers The Birthday Massacre are on tour - be sure to catch them if you can.

I'll be back next week with even more options. Until then, stay safe.
