Behind the scenes, cancelling the festival's second day was no doubt a hard decision to make but I believe it was the right decision in respect to those affected and in the interest of everyone's safety.

My personal thoughts and concerns goes out to those affected by this tragedy. Any club and festival goers affected by or worried about drug-related issues, please visit education organisations such as talktofrank.com and wearetheloop.org for more information.

On a much lighter note, the electric atmosphere and vibrant production of the festival was second to none and showed just how far the festival has progressed in 5 year years.

This weekend kick starts tonight at Zanzi, Guildhall, as fresh promoters Purple Coast takeover the venue to present an end of exam blow out with a fine blend of house, techno and disco from their resident DJs. Advance tickets will only cost £3 or £4 on the door with more information at https://www.facebook.com/events/218534002268340/
