BEYOND THE TRACKS

Because it’s essential to drag out festival season as long as possible, here is another opportunity to enjoy one before autumn hits. Set over three days, the event is headlined by British rock favourites Ocean Colour Scene (left), indie legends Editors and electronic titans Orbital. A real mix of dance and rock (see Faithless perform on the same stage as Carl Barat), the festival will be stocked full of gourmet food and drink to see you through. If you want to dance to the bitter end, after-party tickets are available, featuring a DJ set from Maximo Park. Birmingham, Eastside City Park, September 15-17
