Tidy weekend goes to the dark side with a Star Wars theme

The force looks strong for the Tidy Weekender, which takes place in Pontins Holiday Park, Prestatyn, Wales, from 5-7 October... although they really should have had it on May 4th shouldn't they? Geddit? No? May the 4th be with you... I'll get me coat.

Spinning horrendous trance at the event will be Judge Jules, Lisa Lashes, Anne Savage, Sander Van Doorn and Rob Tissera (and more!) who'll be taking fans on a trip to the dark side. Wooo. The Pontins holiday park will be transformed into a Hoth wasteland of Class A drugs and gurning for the 12th Tidy Weekender. Expect house, trance and hard house in the four arenas, with music running from 10pm until 6am on Friday and Saturday (3am on Sunday). Expect a few impromptu after parties in the chalets too...

A spokesman said: "The theme has been set and it is guaranteed the Tidy faithful will faultlessly adhere to the intergalactic attire. Expect Storm Troopers and Ewoks a plenty and a fair sprinkling of Darth Vader masks. It's time to polish off those lightsabers, laser guns and blasters, as Tidy goes super sonic." Tickets are on sale now, priced £110, and are available HERE. Note that the chalet style accommodation requires group bookings.

Ravey festival round-up: tickets available for TDK Cross Central & Creamfields, but not South West Four

- This weekend sees the final TDK Cross Central in London's King's Cross Freight Depot. Shame for London-based ravers - the event provided a handy alternative for those city folk too namby-pamby to visit "proper" festivals. Apparently a new site will be announced for next year and beyond, but it'll need to go some to beat King's Cross's three-club line-up. Tickets are still available for both days here - this year's line-up includes Ben Watt, Killa Kela (pictured), Coldcut, Bonobo and Shitdisco

- If you're heading to Creamfields (tickets still available here) this weekend you can expect to be met with metal detectors, increased security personnel and more bag checks

Four Tet live!

A couple of my mates have gone to the Glade Festival to get nosebleeds from breakneck glitched beats and atomic sub-bass... and you can't blame 'em really. On a more mellow tip, here's Four Tet (live) to see what they'll all be recovering to.
