As the sun has decided to come out for a bit over here in Scotland it has really started getting us hyped about the up and coming summer festival season. It's only about two weeks till Scotland plays host to it's first festival Rockness! This being the case we thought we would look into a few other festivals held further afield that we are pretty hyped about.
1. Sonar - Barcelona 14th, 15th and 16th June - Since 1994 Sonar has been celebrating advanced music and media throughout various venues in Barcelona. It is a real pioneering festival with an artistic programme that is divided between activities at Sonar by Day which showcases new talent and live shows and Sonar by Night which presents the headline artists. Sonar by Day is held right in the centre of Barcelona while Sonar by Night is held on the outskirts in a massive airport hangover. Having been there myself I can confidently say it was one of the best festival experiences of my life, and its full of Glaswegians. This year some of the acts include New Order, Richie Hawtin, James Murphy plus many many more. During Sonar Barcelona is party central with different parties put on all over the place such as the Mobilee rooftop -
2. Bloc - London 6th and 7th July - Now in its sixth year, Bloc a festival with a dedication to electronic music will be held in a new venue at London Pleasure Gardens. It was originally held at Butlin's Holiday resort in Minehead. This years festival looks bigger than ever as they are also using the MS Stubniz as a venue. The Motor Ship Stubniz is a deep sea fishing vessel that belonged to the German Democratic Republic before the collapse of communism. It was been transformed by a group of forward thinking artists into a moving platform for the sonic and visual arts, perfect for Bloc. The line up includes Snoop Doff, Gary Numan, Villalobos plus many more.
3. Dimensions - Croatia 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th September - Dimensions is a brand new festival created by the same team behind Croatia's Outlook festival. It is an underground music festival held in the iconic Fort Punta Christo, it also boasts boat and beach parties. In the beautiful surroundings of Croatia this looks to be something very special indeed. The line up includes Carl Craig, Little Dragon, Moodymann plus lots more.

Summer Blockbuster Releases
It's getting to that time of year we call summer when the clouds disappear, the rain is gone and there is nothing but blue skies, shining sun and hot hot heat. Sadly for us here in Scotland this is not usually the case for us. We may get a couple of weeks of sun throughout the following months but traditionally our summers are not as hot as we would like them to be.
Luckily summer is not all about the weather it is also the time of music festivals, time off work and of course summer blockbusters. When you are expecting some good summer weather and you end up with the rain there is nothing better than getting away from it all and enjoying a massive Hollywood blockbuster. Here are three massive films we are hyped about this Summer.
1. The Dark Knight Rises - The final instalment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy takes place eight years after the last film, which saw Batman take the fall for Two Face's crimes. A new character Bane has terrorised and taken over the city and the Dark Knight must resurface to save it.
2. The Amazing Spider-Man - This film is a re-imagining of the latest Spider-Man films we have seen over the last decade and goes back to the start of the Spider-Man story. Featuring Andrew Garfield replacing Toby Maguire as the hero on a quest to understand why his parents disappeared when he was young resulting in him colliding with Dr. Curt Connors (The Lizard) on his way.
3. Prometheus - This sci-fi thriller sees a team of explorers discover the clues of the origin of mankind on the earth by journeying to the darkest parts of the universe and engaging terrifying battle to save the human race along the way. Although conceived as a prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien series, the director states it has strands of "Alien's DNA" but will explore its own mythology and ideas.
We are extremely HYPED about all of these bad boys. What blockbusters are you looking forward to?
