Playlist: Mackem magic and a mystical remix
The big upcoming event for me is the Summer Streets festival in Sunderland - two days of top local bands in the best free festival in the region. We've got a couple of highlights from that show on July 6/7, plus a hazily beautiful remix of some gentle electro-folk from East Durham.

The Day When I Saw Green Day
While I got into Green Day relatively late, I did get to GelreDome venue for my first Green Day concert on time. That didn't stop me from still almost not getting to see them at all, but I digress. I did see them and it was awesome. So, with emotions still fresh from that day, I wanted to create a little microcosm of why I love this band, my rocky road towards finally getting to see them live and, of course, what an absolutely epic of an experience a Green Day concert is.

Twenty One Pilots
Live Music. Another new Album. Loyal Fans. Hype. These are all things I think Twenty One Pilots have succeeded at creating. They have created an experience that their fans are drawn to and can't seem to say no to. They have created a loyal fanbase that will follow them wherever they lead. They have unlocked the secret to not needing to write to the algorithm but instead, they get to write for themselves. A true level of creative freedom.
