Latitude: Broken Records, DM Stith, The XX, The Airborne Toxic Event

There's less of the pushchairs and families at this year’s Latitude, but the site seems busier than ever - enough people to give Broken Records a pretty large crowd on the main Obelisk Arena stage.

Club Uncut @ The Great Escape: White Denim, School Of Seven Bells, Three Trapped Tigers, Banjo Or Freakout – 16/05/09

Banjo Or Freakout open the last of Uncut's nights at The Great Escape, perhaps the weirdest line-up of the weekend, with a pretty uncompromising set.

Club Uncut @ The Great Escape: Abe Vigoda, Vivian Girls, The Phantom Band, Crystal Antlers, Blind Pilot – 15/05/09

If last night was loosely the folk night of Club Uncut’s Great Escape bill, this is probably the ‘rock’ or ‘psych’ night.

Club Uncut @ The Great Escape: The Acorn, The Week That Was, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, DM Stith – 14/05/09

Yeasayer, Broken Records: Uncut @ The Great Escape – May 16, 2008

Tonight is the second night of The Great Escape festival and, of course, the second night of Uncut's selection of bands at the Pressure Point, tonight featuring Edinburgh's Broken Records and Brooklyn boys Yeasayer.

Bon Iver, Wild Beasts, No Age: Uncut @ The Great Escape – May 15, 2008

No doubt this was because of the opening act, a certain Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver.
