It is time, my friends, once again for us to get spooky.

A double rollover means the biggest festival to date, with not one weekend, not two weekends, but an additional midweek lineup to boot.

Holy hell we're at it a-bloody-gain. Release your inner demons with Dirty, Dead Horse, The Black Lagoons, Big Peyote, Marlon Bianco & The Clones, Enemy of The People and DJs to boot.

You'll cry, you'll go into existential crisis, you'll dance. Our recommendations for the weekend ahead.

Saturday sees Warmduscher bring their deliciously depraved brand of sleaze rock to the stage at EartH, London.

Roadkill Records are back with another incredible Summer weekender, and yours truly are DJing the Sunday hangover shift. Enjoy a run down of what we think of Sunday's line-up.

Apart from a disappointing lack of female performers, Community Festival is looking indie-licious according to Raw Meat's resident photographer and grown up(ish), Chris Patmore.

The first announcement for the third installment of Oxford’s Ritual Union is here. And it’s a good’un.

Slamdunk festival makes its return in one hot minute, and as expected there are some amazings acts on offer. Dust off that BFMV t-shirt and dive right in.

Here’s the low down on the highs of Beat Connection... Apologies if that sentence was too much of a roller coaster for you.

Hold the phone, Did someone say a killer line-up at one of Reading’s most prized venues? No. No-one did. But that is what's happening next weekend.

We’re back from our day in Ox, and ready to brag about what a day we had. Come listen.

Our fave new festival is back for round two this October, and we’re more than a little excited.

Apparently it takes 100 years for something to be a tradition by definition. So us lot and the Roadkill Records team have got our work cut out.

We don't know much about theatre, so we're calling in the experts.

Gender equality and awesome bands. See you there.

Send in the clowns, it's that time of year again.

Shocking British sunshine means an epic festival season for all. Our favourite photographer, Chris Patmore elaborates.

We're headed back to Slam Dunk Festival, and as you can imagine, we're already pretty pumped.

It's not the first Roadkill of the new year, and it's not our first 2018 DJ set either. What it most certainly is, is the only way to kiss Dry January goodbye.

The Coronet stage has been graced by the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Justin Timberlike in the last 138 years. Last Friday night fell somewhere between the two.

Was our Halloween party a success? Depends... By the end of our headliner's set, the entire front row of the crowd had been thrown out for tearing shit up.

‍London has a new music festival to join the already packed roster of festivals across the country in what we laughingly call summer.

One day. Four venues. Too many unmissable bands to count. The birth of brand-new festival Ritual Union is nigh, and you’ll want to snap your ticket up ASAMFP.

Serving your Halloween plans to you on a platter. Dress to distress.

As the weather is currently making London look like wet newspaper, we’re gazing longingly into the future at the (fingers crossed) Indian Summer of Bestival 2017.

It is no exaggeration to say that Citadel 2017 is a true cornucopia of everything everyone wants to do. Well maybe just a small one.

The JAWS & PINS Pit Party all-dayer line-up features Hey Colossus, Spectres, Phobophobes and a fair few more...

Following a sold-out fifth year in 2016, this Camden Rocks Festival will host 250 bands and artists across 25 Camden venues. Which is lots.

About six months ago I spoke to the brains behind Fluffer...

It's Heavy Leather Promotions' Roadkill #18 this Friday, and Raw Meat DJs are spinning tunes before, between and after Sunlight Service Group, The Venus Lyx and Saint Agnes.

Primavera 2022, somewhat of a bumper year. A double rollover. Plus the return to the midweek city-based shows, means things are bigger and better than ever.

This week we headed down to End of the Road (September 2-5, Larmer Tree Gardens) for a weekend of good clean fun.

Fashionably late, unfortunately wet.

Here’s the low down on the highs of Beat Connection... Apologies if that sentence was too much of a roller coaster for you.

We sent three theatre experts to a unique show at the Soho Theatre.

Chris Patmore tends to keep his festival activity to just one a year because: camping. And people. This year Kendal Calling's line up took the biscuit.

Including music from Lower Than Atlantis, PVRIS, Sleeping With Sirens and the ever eccentric Frank Carter. Words and images by the Raw Meat power couple, Kane and Kim.

Reading’s annual charity music festival once again proves its worth.

In four words? Don't miss next year.

Leefest is essentially a party that got out of hand. To the extent that it is now a fully fledged, award-winning festival, but one that still feels like a massive party.

In its eleventh year, Y Not Festival has proved itself to be on its way to bigger and better things.

The last weekend of July has to be the busiest of the music festival calendar; when seemingly all niche, boutique, small-to-medium festivals competed for both audiences and artists.

Bilbao BBK Live: a festival in the ridiculously hot climate of Spain, held on a mountain, with an ace line-up... it could only really go one way...

As veteran Field Day-ers, we're well aware that absorbing more than one day at a time of that much nonsense is too much for one writer, so we split it. Charlotte tackled Saturday.

With Field Day and Download Festival on the same weekend, we managed to drag ourselves to both – because we wanted to go to both, not because we double-booked ourselves. Obviously.

We partied all afternoon with the Roadkill Records team, things got weird, Rupert Hitchcox took photos.

It looks like our intrepid reporter made it all the way through Y Not Festival's tenth bithday weekend. It also looks like we should have a sponsorship deal with Hooch.

Time for day two of Emily Pilbeam’s whiskey-fuelled reporting on Y Not Festival’s tenth birthday.

Last weekend, us lot at Raw Meat were partying in the mud at Y Not Festival. 

Raw Meat danced to speakeasy jazz, gawped at The Bees Knees dancers and partied to electro-swing at the nostalgic club night, White Mink.
