Weekends Matter Newsletter - 20th May

The Bank Holiday is here again, and that means events are in excess with an extra day of recovery in the bag. Here's a handful of the ones happening over the weekend and beyond...

Festivals

Bullet for My Valentine will top this year's Camden Rocks, and elsewhere we've cherry picked five of the best acts at the Lost City Weekender and Lovebox, as well as delivered a Virgin's Guide for Festival No. 6.

If you want tickets to Kendal Calling, you're running out of time to enter our ultimate festival comp - keep those entries coming. Still not found the perfect festival for you? Then check out our Festivals Finder which nattily narrows down festivals based on your unique demands (sadly I've yet to find a gathering headlined by a dubstep unicorn).

Clubs

Steve Lawler and VIVa Warriors hit the Rainbow this Sunday and it's free. The elongated weekend also sees the return of A Wing and we've got a great comp ahead of that, as well as one for Covert in Manchester. We eulogised Lord Sabre himself, Andrew Weatherall in our latest DJ Love, and we've got a killer mix from man of the moment David Zowie.

Weekends Matter May 2015 (Ibiza Special) - Guest Mix Jon Rundell by Skiddle on Mixcloud

Over in Ibiza the latest exciting night to present itself is the global soiree Hyte, whilst Glitterbox also revealed their complete line ups and our latest podcast is all about the White Isle with a Jon Rundell guest mix (above). 

Live Music

This week we've spoken to Gengahr about their new album and Arcade Fire collaborator Owen Pallet, and got excited about a De la Soul tour and a Manchester date for Diiv. On top of that we've had plenty of amusement from Noel Gallagher recently, spanning anything from acid house love to career advice for Zayn Malik.

And as a final note, this week our festivals newspaper has gone out to the masses, so keep an eye out for a lovely physical version of the goodness you regularly see on your Skiddle screen...
