LIVE: 2000Trees Friday

By eight am, it’s too hot to stay in a tent. The stages are packed before lunchtime and we are raring to go for another day at Trees. Dashing between patches of shade, we’re hyped and hydrated for our Friday. Words: Kate Allvey and Rob Dand  //  Photos: Penny Bennett

LIVE: Deftones / Weezer / High Vis @ Crystal Palace Park, London

Deftones coming to London – for a giant sold out Crystal Palace headliner, no less – should have sparked hype from every one of us. Instead, worry arcs between us as we’re shuffled through the sun-bleached Victorian palisades. Deftones cancelled their Glastonbury appearance at short notice less than twenty

LIVE: 2000Trees Saturday

We’re older and wiser as Saturday dawns across the Cotswolds; our suncream is applied, the clashfinders have been checked, and we’re ready to kick the final epic day of Trees into gear! Words: Kate Allvey and Rob Dand  //  Photos: Penny Bennett and Paul Lyme Gen and the Degenerates “Cool is

LIVE: Hot Water Music @ SWX, Bristol

Rolling into Bristol on a poetically warm, rain-soaked Friday night, Hot Water Music arrive ready to kick off a celebratory UK run that culminates at Manchester Punk Festival.
