WHATS ON IN AUGUST
August should be a proper summer month. Tan’s, heatstroke, sunny’s and the temptation to spontaneously launch oneself into the Thames (please do not do this). And the London music scene for August does not disappoint. It’s going to be jam packed. So stay hydrated, take rest days and wear sunscreen.
Krankbrother’s day festival: Solomun All Day (Extended)
Saturday 3rd
Deep House and Techno Legend, Solomun, is bringing his one day festival to Finsbury Park. I’m sure if you’re a Solomun fan this has been in your Diary for months, but if it hasn’t, this one’s probably going to sell out. Solomun has one of the largest fan bases in the music scene and never fails to disappoint.
