August 23, 2025 at Victoria Park

Supported by a majority-female lineup including JADE, Tyla, Cat Burns, and last-minute replacement FKA Twigs, RAYE’s sold-out All Points East day brought glitz, glamour and girl-power to London.

Returning to the dust bowl for one last effort, a fantastically curated day of 00s Indie nostalgia is on the cards this time.

Field Maneuvers 2025

Aug 15 – 17, 2025

Returning for its 11th installation, Field Maneuvers is a festival that, despite financial and logistical challenges, refuses to go away. And rightly so - not only is it a top-notch three day party, but now more than ever, its messages of unity, collectivism and care for each other need to be heard and felt.

Rock en Seine 2025: Vampire Weekend, Mk.Gee & Khruangbin

Aug 20 – 24, 2025 at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud

Many people will read the words Vampire Weekend and instantly think 'A-Punk, 2008, Inbetweeners soundtrack landfill indie.' This label haunts them unjustly - in the near 20 years since their debut, they have aggressively courted positive reviews with the hard-to-please Pitchfork, won several Grammys, and had numerous albums debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200.

We Out Here 2025

Aug 14 – 17, 2025 at Wimborne Saint Giles

Brownswood Recordings and We Organise Chaos are quietly putting together one of the country's best music festivals, pushing back against the commercialisation of live music events with vibrancy and warmth, and not enough people are talking about it.
