Finally festival season is upon us, my favourite time of the year. Not because we get at least one weekend of sunshine - that we all complain about because we’re British and therefore miserable – but it’s a chance to see artists in their element.
So there’s no surprise that Brooklyn’s Joey Bada$$ covers our annual festival issue. For those that haven’t seen him perform, don’t think he’s anything close to subdued; I’ve witnessed the rapper kill stages, where girls literally left with the barriers imprinted into their chests and maybe even a clump of Joey’s ‘fro from all the reckless stage diving. In short, man knows how to rock a mic and crowd with finesse. Within our in-depth festival guide, expect Big Narstie to bless you with his Do’s and Don’ts, then Wilkinson, Pusha T and D’Banj give you their most memorable moments whilst DJ Target unleashes his very own festival survival kit.
