Time to take a look back at some of the festivals that have kept us entertained so far in 2024 – music, fringe, beer, street and carnival events from far and wide feature in our latest gallery below. With an ever-changing landscape in the field of entertainment, it’s great to see how many favourite events are thriving, and also to see new ones making their mark. Join us for a stroll through just some of the moments that have caught our eye this season – as always, these are in no particular order; pictures are simply mixed by subject, shape and style…

Images from Abyssal Festival in Southampton, September 2024
Having to have moved location because of the closure of the firehouse in Southampton being renovated into housing, the future of Abyssal was a complete uncertainty. The promoters Harley, Dave and Chris have worked tirelessly for the last year to bring us a bigger venue with a better line up and risk going to a larger venue. To see such a small promoter work so hard to keep the metal scene alive is really inspiring!
