London needs a salve to help soothe the sting of the Bloc debacle – and Eastern Electrics might well be it.
The one-day festival, curated by one of the capital’s most respected promoters, brings together some of the most exciting names in house and techno from the UK and beyond – and drops them in a new site just a stone’s throw from the Millenium Dome.
Tickets for Eastern Electrics have long sold out – but if you’re lucky enough to have one, check out our tips to help plan your day.
Azari & III
One of our highlights from this year’s Sonar, the Canadian band’s disco-tinged high camp is the perfect headline fodder.
