A chance to see Aphex Twin's first London gig in nearly a decade is reason enough to grab a ticket, add Moodymann, Mura Masa and Run The Jewels to the mix and this is an essential outing.

July

Lovebox [14th - 15th]

Seeing LCD Soundsystem at Lovebox 2016 was one of the highlights of the year, so it'd be foolish not to give it a look in 2017. Frank Ocean, Jamie xx and Chase & Status will be heading to Victoria Park this year.

Secret Garden Party [20th - 23rd]

2017 will be Secret Garden Party's tenth and final year. For years SGP was one of the best kept secrets on the UK festival circuit, if you haven't been before, don't miss out on this gem before it's gone.
