The Lucid Dream
With plenty of us succumbing to the traditional bank holiday madness, Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald has your recovery sorted in this week’s guide.
Long car journeys, boozy all day sessions and random getaways are all part and parcel of the bank holiday weekend.
With many of you no doubt trying to recover from the madness by the time you read this, you better act fast, for this week’s acts playing Liverpool have enough power to make Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump go wobbly at the knees.
Crossing all the continents of the sonic landscape, from groundbreaking psych to pulsating hip hop, there is plenty to help you on your way. That’s even before Liverpool Disco Festival drops in at the Baltic too!
So hold tight, press play and get ready!
