Festival Watch

Dreary February weather got you dreaming of far-away places? If you're after salt, sea and sunshine, Annie Mac's Lost & Found Festival looks a very good shout. Happening in Malta over the Easter weekend (13-16 April), the event will star The Black Madonna, Armand Van Helden, J.E.S.U.S (Jackmaster, Eats Everything, Seth Troxler and Skream) and too many more to mention, plus boat parties, pool parties and castle raves.

At the other end of the temperature spectrum, the lineup for Austria's Snowbombing Festival – "8,497 ft above the ordinary" – is immense. Held from 3-8 April, it features Elrow's The Bronx Street Party, Groove Armada, Dixon, Hot Since 82, Eats Everything, and many more, including our own Denis Sulta and Theo Kottis.

If you're after something a bit closer to home, Groove Cairngorm, the UK’s first and only snowsports festival, is on 24-26 February this year. This fabulous, well-organised festival is perfectly sized, with no queues, good music, and lovely people. Spend the day on the slopes at the Cairngorm Mountains before joining the apres-ski set with world class artists and DJs including the inimitable Basement Jaxx, Mike Skinner (DJ set), and Horse Meat Disco.
