Soundcrash is renowned for running top tier music events in and around London, and they’ve lent their influence and expertise to several festivals over the years, most notably Soundwave. The Funk and Soul Weekender is distinct, however, in that it is the only festival run by the company from the ground up. Originally it was held at Camber Sands in Sussex, but this year for the first time it was transplanted to the more well known shores of Brighton Beach. […]

Environmentalism and festival culture are almost inextricably linked. At their heart, many festivals represent a utopian vision of society – balanced, vibrant, brimming with culture and free from prejudice. You would think then that sustainability would be an almost inherent side-effect of many festivals, but sadly this isn’t the case. Every year, the joyous swell of Glastonbury is dragged back down to reality as the images of a trash-strewn wasteland of abandoned tents sweep across the internet. Granted, Glastonbury is […]

There’s a somewhat uncomfortable mid-point between an urban park festival and a full weekend event. Ring-fencing a city park for a weekend and filling it with great music is one thing, trying to load two or three days of revelry into a space with no room for campsites and a local population too close by to risk noise pollution is quite another. By that rationale, arranging something like that on a beach should be a complete logistical nightmare, and yet […]

So, another year, another bizarre pre-fair voyage to Boomtown. Every year, Boomtown Fair opens its doors to the public, a host of incredible musicians and, primarily, the agents of chaos. While initial changes were slow, the town now undergoes some manner of metamorphosis, whether it’s a revolution, a corporate takeover, a hacker incursion or whatever Chapter 10 has in store. Two years ago I was given a private audience with The Masked Man, the apparent mastermind of the revolt that […]

The first time I heard about Eden festival was through whispered words back when I was at high school from my best friend, where he would entertain me with tales of drunken fun he had. So, when a friend of mine asked me to work at his stall selling burgers to the public with the opportunity of exploring the grounds during my free time, I hopped on the opportunity to attend a festival that was celebrating its tenth birthday. Based […]

The annual Canadian Music Week festival has brought hundreds of artists of all genres to Toronto to perform, and capping off the week would be a special Mother’s Day performance by 2 Chainz. Easily the most famous hip-hop artist at the festival, 2 Chainz would be returning to Rebel Nightclub after performing here in a wheelchair just last fall. Since that time, he has made some high profile guest appearances on songs by Eminem, PRhyme, Schoolboy Q, and Christina Aguilera, […]
