ICYMI: Knockengorroch, Summer Sessions among Scottish festivals awarded funding, Skiddle founders reflect on 25 years in new StandOut Magazine feature, renae unveil TOPP, a new creative space for Manchester’s underground
A fateful weekend has just passed by. The clocks went forwards so we can officially embrace longer and brighter days! There’s no better way to celebrate summer on our doorstep (forget the occasional rain, hail, and snow) than a freshly picked New On Skiddle popping up on your browser.
This week we have some of the usual, reliable fare — day raves, festivals — in addition to some more rogue shouts. From nostalgic bands that once ruled the pop and rock spheres playing in picturesque cathedrals to World Cup fanzones, it would be silly not to pick at least one of these events to fit into your pocket.
