His death was announced by the French fashion conglomerate LVMH. 
The statement read: 
“LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Off White are devastated to announce the passing of Virgil Abloh, on Sunday, November 28th, of cancer, which he had been battling privately for several years.”

&nbsp;
<h4>Amy&#8217;s auction</h4>
In a recent auction that took place earlier in November, over 800 of the icons belongings sold for nearly £3 million. The event by <a href="https://www.juliensauctions.com/about-auction?id=320">Julien&#8217;s Auction</a>s was held in Los Angeles.
Items sold included the exact dress the star wore in her last show in Belgrade, Serbia, June 2011. The dress, a black and yellow mini halter with a desirable alternative and distressed bamboo and floral pattern, sold for around £180,000.
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_492" style="width: 259px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-492" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-492" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/dailymail-199x300.jpeg" alt="" width="249" height="375" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/dailymail-199x300.jpeg 199w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/dailymail.jpeg 468w" sizes="(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px" />Amy at her last show in Belgrade &#8211; Dailymail.com</div>
&nbsp;
Its style is a definition of the artist&#8217;s identity and was designed by Winehouse&#8217;s stylist Naomi Perry. Its original value is estimated to have been 16 times less than what it sold for in the auction, according to MSN Music News.
&nbsp;
<h4>10 years of Amy&#8217;s legacy</h4>
After 10 years since the singer&#8217;s death, her legacy and name still shine bright through the industry. The auction&#8217;s success is no doubt down to the relatability of the songwriter and her ongoing impact on society. This includes those especially who struggle with recreational addictions.
Raising £90,000 was the black and tan jumpsuit by Temperley London. Amy wore this during her performance celebrating Nelson Mandelas 90th birthday.
Amy&#8217;s heart-shaped Moschino red leather bag raised £152,000. It was worn to the 2007 Brit <a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/duck-sauce-mesmerises-at-the-uk-music-video-awards/">Awards</a> where she won &#8216;Best British Female Solo Artist&#8217;, and &#8216;Best British Album&#8217;.

<h4>This year’s UK Music Video Award’s ‘Video of the Year’ was awarded to DJ duo Duck Sauce, and their track &#8216;Mesmerize&#8217; featuring Armand Van Helden and A-Track.  </h4>
Duck Sauce are famous for their tracks such as &#8216;Barbara Streisand&#8216; and &#8216;aNYway&#8217;, the electronic duo has hit highs again with their 2020 release, &#8216;Mesmerize&#8216;.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_467" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-467" loading="lazy" class="size-medium wp-image-467" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/stereogum.com_-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/stereogum.com_-300x300.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/stereogum.com_-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/stereogum.com_.jpeg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Stereogum.com</div>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The hyper-reality video shows outdated game-like graphics of Duck Sauce in a club scene. They are wearing Armand Van Helden T-shirts under subtitles explaining what is happening in the fast-paced video. 
Flickers of scenes with ‘Getty Images’ and ‘Shutter-Shock’ watermarks across them are frequently shown, creating a sense of how a smaller AI world can so easily be created by someone else.  
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_468" style="width: 386px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-468" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-468" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/radiofg-300x206.jpeg" alt="" width="376" height="258" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/radiofg-300x206.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/radiofg-768x527.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/radiofg.jpeg 970w" sizes="(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px" />Radiofg.com</div>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>What&#8217;s the concept?</h4>
The idea that the world and everyone in it is in a simulation becomes the main concept very soon into the video. This is actually true from the perspective of the characters, making the video somewhat trippy and fitting to the music.  
The Duck Sauce characters explain their theory through more subtitles. The track is played alongside animated famous figures such as Morgan Freeman and Vin Diesel.  
The Keith Schofield self-directed video then propels into an overly fast-paced frenzy of reasons how they (the animated characters) might be in a simulation. It is essentially an explanation of how the universe works according to Schofield. Of course, unless the video is paused, the ideas cannot be read with the screen changing to each beat of the playing track.  
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_469" style="width: 386px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-469" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-469" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats-300x169.jpeg" alt="" width="376" height="212" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/shiningbeats.jpeg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px" />Shiningbeats.com</div>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>In true Duck Sauce style</h4>
The finale of the video shows what seems like endless entries into the animated people&#8217;s butts (yeah, I know) and back out again into another. The idea is unclear at first but is most likely linked to how we should be able to do what we want in this world because the idea of the universe itself is being questioned. 
Who&#8217;s to say that kind of content isn&#8217;t acceptable for a Duck Sauce music video? It won an award, didn’t it? 
&nbsp;
<h4>What the fans had to say</h4>
Underneath the music video, released on October 16 2020 on the official Duck Sauce YouTube channel, the double act commented: 
“We’ll let you sit with that one. Just let us know what you think.” 
Fan comments on the page consisted of “Why hasn’t this got millions of views, it’s an exquisite piece of art” and “At first I thought you were hating on all the fun boomers had in the 90&#8217;s club scene, so I was triggered. Then you started putting weird references in, which confused me. Then the simulation theory drew me in, and next thing you know, you&#8217;ve got me laughing with the thing you did. I enjoyed the amount of fun this would have been to make.”  
Another fan said “This is the dopest, weirdest, craziest, scientifically-intriguing and funny music video I have ever seen! If I continue to write it may go well up to 100 pages. Maybe more. Ahh, just about to forget to mention the track. Addictive and smooth.&#8221;

<h3>What is Twitch?</h3>
Twitch is originally known for its video game <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Music">live streaming and broadcasts</a> of eSports competitions. Now, the platform has new partnership plans and is expanding on what is already on offer.  
&nbsp;
<h3>Who is Warner Music Group?</h3>
Warner Music Group is responsible for the <a href="http://www.atlanticrecords.com/">biggest names</a> in the industry. With Atlantic Records being owned by WMG, they showcase names from the likes of Cardi B, Ed Sheeran and Lizzo.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h3>What is changing for Twitch?</h3>
<a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/ed-sheeran-nova-red-room/">In-real-time performances</a> and interactions will be on offer on the creator-first platform. Twitch already offers live streaming for gaming and music fans, so making for more intimate viewing an upgrade bound for success.
According to <a href="https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/warner-music-group-and-twitch-ink-first-of-its-kind-partnership/">Musicbusinessworldwide.com,</a> Oana Ruxandra the Chief Digital Officer and EVP of WMG said: 
“It’s clear that Twitch is an indispensable space for all types of creators to connect with their fan communities. 
“Our partnership creates an on-ramp for artists to come onto the service with strong support from Twitch, opening up an entirely new source of incremental revenue. 
“Between the artist-specific channels and the premium shows we’re planning to launch; music lovers will get a refreshing new view into the world of music and the lives of their favourite artists.” 
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_444" style="width: 420px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-444" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-444" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/newscientist.com_-300x200.jpeg" alt="" width="410" height="273" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/newscientist.com_-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/newscientist.com_-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/newscientist.com_-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/newscientist.com_.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px" />Photograph: Newscientist.com</div>
<h3></h3>
With the partnership in full swing, fans should start to see Warner Record’s Bella Poarch and Saweetie on the platform, as well as exclusive backstage footage from artists and performers on the WMG artist channels. 
WMG is the first major record label to partner with Twitch, so we can expect more from other music and entertainment brands as they follow suit in the next coming months.

Ed Sheeran to perform at Nova Red Room

BBC Radio 1 legend and icon, Annie Mac, left the station just over two months ago. The Friday night DJ made new lifestyle changes for herself and her family after seventeen years in her music career.

<h3>Unknotting with changes</h3>
In her latest article and podcast, the music guru reveals how she hasn’t quite adapted to her new lifestyle. She is gradually dissolving a ‘knot’ that developed within her. She explains how this has held her back from feeling any kind of stillness.
In her article, ‘<a href="https://www.anniemacmanus.com/articles/wanting">Wanting’</a>, she explains, “I have learnt that I have had a knot in my stomach for the last six years and I didn’t know it was there until it wasn’t.” The full article is accessible on <a href="https://www.anniemacmanus.com/articles/wanting">anniemacmanus.com.</a>
The radio superstar goes on to explain the guilt that comes with being a part of the busy industry. Not being able to attend every <a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/up-and-coming-events-this-october/">event or club </a>around the world made her feel as if she wasn’t working hard enough. 
Topped with the pressure of preparing radio shows and interviews, she explains how balancing both a hard-hitting career and a young family seemed almost impossible.

<h3>&#8220;What do I want?&#8221;</h3>
In her recent podcast episode on her show ‘<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0kiuqLDQ8wXGFeblBYyTiS">Changes with Annie Macmanus</a>’, her guest Jimmy Carr explains how he asked himself the life-changing question, “what do I want?”. 
When he was 25 he became unsatisfied with his life in the marketing industry. As a result, he decided to drop everything for comedy in the hopes to make it big.  
Now, Mac references hard, life-changing decisions to “doing a Jimmy.” 
The idea of putting yourself and those around you first to benefit your mental and physical well-being is something she promotes in her podcasts and specifically her recent article. She notes it is important even if the process is hard to adapt to at first.

<h3>Allow space for change</h3>
We all need space to breathe and for those in the music and events industry, it can sometimes seem impossible to even grab an inch.  
Annies journey is an inspiration to mothers, fathers, career-driven people and to those who need an all-around well-deserved break. It is a journey of changes we can all follow together and learn from, and it has only just begun.

Halloween 21’ – What to do and where to go

Hosted at Chelmsford City Racecourse in Essex, Clockstock festival 2021 was a world-class event that brought Ibiza to the UK. 
The Clockstock event was hosted by Danny Gould, A.K.A Danny Clockwork, and Andy ‘Manky’ Manston, founders of Clockwork Orange.  
<h3></h3>
<h4>What is clockwork orange? </h4>
&nbsp;
The 1993 born clubbing brand Clockwork Orange originated in London town as part of the 90s clubbing scene. Quickly, it expanded to the bustling rave scene in Ibiza, becoming one of the most influential and well-known brands from the rise of 90s dance culture. 
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_390" style="width: 483px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-390" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-390 " src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-300x170.jpeg" alt="" width="473" height="268" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-300x170.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-1024x581.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-768x436.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-1536x872.jpeg 1536w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9104-2048x1163.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px" />Disco Heads on the main stage</div>
&nbsp;
<h4>Inside Clockstock</h4>
Clockstock had nine stages as well as a last-minute addition of  ‘the secret beach’. The site was full of endless opportunities to let go and enjoy the music. There were well spread-out toilets, bars and food vendors for all to keep in distance from wherever they were enjoying the day.  
Bars could be found within the dance tents. This created easier access and quick turnovers for those who didn’t want to miss a second of the funky sets.
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_394" style="width: 462px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-394" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-394" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Clockstock-2021-v1-88-300x200.jpeg" alt="" width="452" height="301" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Clockstock-2021-v1-88-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Clockstock-2021-v1-88-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Clockstock-2021-v1-88-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Clockstock-2021-v1-88.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px" />Image owned by Sharpscape Photography Services</div>
&nbsp;
The bars had good pricing too, with double spirit and mixers being £7.50 (the average price in London being £11) and bottles of wine and prosecco available for £30 each. The easily accessible facilities made it more enjoyable for festival-goers, keeping them happy and lively.
The event had a connecting coach service that went from London to Chelmsford. Thankfully, this helped those attending get to and from the venue hassle-free.  
Having such easy access to amenities made for an ecstatic and loving atmosphere among fans. This created a sense of unity, unlike <a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/uk-festvials-the-summer-of-violence/">some 2021 festivals that arguably got out of control</a> and gave off tense feelings.
&nbsp;
<h4>Dancing with the stars</h4>
&nbsp;
Dance legends Armand Van Helden, Jeremy Healy and Mark Knight all played within the event. Clockstock ended with a legendary final set from Andy Manston, Danny Clockwork and Bongo Ben. This included Queen&#8217;s iconic &#8216;Radio GaGa&#8217; as the final song, including footage from the famous LiveAid performance from 85&#8242;. 
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_389" style="width: 492px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-389" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-389 " src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-300x150.jpeg" alt="" width="482" height="241" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-300x150.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-1024x511.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-768x383.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-1536x766.jpeg 1536w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_9084-2048x1021.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px" />Gok Wan on the main stage</div>
 
Newbies to the scene, including fan favourite fashionista Gok Wan, played sizzling sets on the main stage and got the crowd roaring. Gok Wan gained attention to his DJ skills through live streams over the 2020 lockdowns where he performed virtually to keep those at home in high spirits. 
&nbsp;
<h4>Turning your world around with Clockstock</h4>
&nbsp;
Dance classics from The Shapeshifters, ‘Lola’s Theme’, Duck Sauce’s, ‘aNYway’, and N Joi&#8217;s, ‘Anthem’ filled the main stage as dancers got down and lively.  
&nbsp;

“You know when you have been Clockworked” – Clockstock 2021

Is there a reason why the summer festivals of 2021 have been connected to conflict and violence?  
 
<h3>Show me more, show me less </h3>
 
When summer comes around, so does the UK festival season. 
Whether you have attended a festival this year or not, your social media accounts would have been plastered with endless videos and pictures making you feel like you had.  
However, a re-occurring theme appeared that made skipping out on bigger events such as Creamfields and Reading and Leeds a lot easier this year.
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_375" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-375" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-375" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stocksy.com_-300x138.jpeg" alt="" width="456" height="210" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stocksy.com_-300x138.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stocksy.com_-768x353.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/stocksy.com_.jpeg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px" />Image by Stocksy.com</div>

<h3>No dancing, just fighting </h3>
 
Violence and conflict were prominent within the grounds of festivals such as Parklife and Wireless this year. Both festivals are favourites in the scene. But there was a concern when bad behaviours dominated the atmosphere of the events. 
With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions, could it be that we <a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/were-we-really-ready-for-festival-season/">weren’t quite ready</a> to be social on such a large scale?  
Tensions among us have been brewed over the last year and a half. Higher bouts of anger and frustration have occurred due to countless lockdowns and restrictions. There have been higher cases of bad mental health too.
Some have let these loose through the form of aggression towards each other, causing problems for others.
 
<h3>Un-security at Wireless festival</h3>

&nbsp;
<a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/saturday-wireless-2021-highlights/">Wireless Festival</a> was hosted between the 10 and 12 of September at Crystal Palace Park this year. Big-name acts such as Future, Skepta and Migos headlining. The Hip-Hop and Grime event took a turn when a fight broke out between fans. 
Security guards took it into their own to strike back onto a girl who was being aggressive towards them, instead of being broken up successfully.

<h3>Get out of the way, Parklife </h3>
&nbsp;
A large-scale fight broke out at Parklife festival hosted at Heaton Park in Manchester on the weekend of the 11 and 12 of September this year. 
The fight happened at the Kuluki stage, putting a dampener on the event’s mood.

The fight was seen to happen in a mosh pit, which quickly dispersed after dancers were interrupted by the aggression and fists of others.  
A young 22-year-old boy was stabbed in the leg in another conflict. An investigation into this attack is still live according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-parklife-stabbing-man-22-24970064">Mirror</a>.

<h3>Where do we go from here for UK festivals? </h3>
&nbsp;
With aggression and violence not being new to the festival scene, it definitely has been more defiant in recent years. Conflict can be seen from more angles and in more capacities with social media in the hand of almost every event attendee. 
Fortunately, violence is just a small portion of what is to come with festivals, events and clubbing. A lot of this is due to the intoxications of drink and drugs. 
But, when in the midst of a crowded field, club or room, please remember to be safe and to leave your Covid frustrations at home.  
<a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/open-for-business-what-is-next-for-the-new-clubbing-scene/">The party is back</a>. So, let’s make sure we are enjoying the freedom, and not putting ourselves back into a cage.

UK festivals: The summer of … violence?

<h3>What went down on the second day at the Wireless festival 2021?</h3>
Ladies and gentlemen, autumn has officially arrived. Summer 2021 is officially over.
But, the month of September has been eventful, to say the least.

Last weekend, the Wireless music festival returned after a one-year absence due to the pandemic.
It was only right I went down to Crystal Palace Park to see the return of one of the biggest music festivals in the UK.
Upon my arrival, the sun was out and you just knew that it would be a good day.
<div id="attachment_367" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-367" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-367 size-medium" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/samuel-regan-asante-3BcNKoySAq0-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" />Festival settings.

Crystal Palace Park was full of young, vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic people who were all just looking to have a great time!
First to the main stage is none other than West London&#8217;s very own Central Cee, who performed his hit songs &#8216;Day in a life&#8217;, &#8216;Loading&#8217; and &#8216;Obsessed with you&#8217;.
<div id="attachment_365" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-365" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-365 size-medium" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_4700-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_4700-300x198.jpg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_4700-768x506.jpg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_4700.jpg 827w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Central Cee on the Wireless&#8217;s main stage.

Central Cee was then followed up by another West London giant, Fredo, who got the crowd jumpy, to say the least with his hit song &#8221;They Ain&#8217;t 100&#8242;.
If having these stars from West London was not enough, along came to the eminent AJ Tracey live and direct!
The hip hop giants kept arriving, and this time from across the globe, with the likes of Swae Lee and Meek Mill &#8211; who performed for the first time in London.

Last but not least, headlining Saturday&#8217;s edition of Wireless 2021, Grime pioneer and UK hip hop legend, Skepta, who had the best performance and production of the day with crazy special effects.

Saturday Wireless 2021 Highlights

There was an overwhelming buzz when UK festivals opened their gates to dance hungry music fans this summer.  
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Sold out shows include Creamfields, The Lost Village and Reading and Leeds Festival. 
The festival season had us prepared for a weekend of sweat, smiles and a lot of strange behaviour. 
But for some, the idea of being in a crowded space caused feelings of anxiety and regret when buying tickets. 
A lot of fans decided to miss out on the festival season this year due to the anxiety of catching and spreading the Covid-19 virus.

<h4>Re-sell, re-sell&#8230; no-sell?</h4>
Helping out the music and entertainment industry after a hard-hitting effect from the Covid-19 pandemic has been massively encouraged. 
Fans who impulse bought festival tickets caused an influx of re-selling just days before events went live.  
Re-selling event tickets isn&#8217;t an unusual process. 
Although, the amount of those re-selling this year due to illness and restriction related situations was a lot higher than usual.
 Those selling are finding it harder than usual to make a successful sale. 
&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Yo why has it been so hard for people to sell their festival tickets lately? Is it because of the policy change with vaccination?

Recently Scotland announced they are <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/aug/27/scotland-records-highest-number-of-daily-covid-cases">&#8216;proposing vaccine certificates for entry to nightclubs and large-scale indoor and outdoor events in an attempt to curb escalating Covid infections&#8217; </a>for late September this year. 
This has come shortly after the opening of nightclubs and has proved a <a href="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/open-for-business-what-is-next-for-the-new-clubbing-scene/">false hope for freedom in the future.</a> 
This affects those trying to buy event tickets. 
The idea of new restrictions being put in place in the UK will put off those who usually buy event tickets in advance.

<h4>No time to dance</h4>
Elrow Town London was cancelled this year <a href="https://new.enfield.gov.uk/news-and-events/a-statement-on-elrow-town-trent-park/">&#8216;due to significant damage to the grounds at Trent Park during a third party event on Saturday 7 / Sunday 8&#8217;. </a>
After being cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, the event was meant to take place on the 21st of August this year.
Many fans were upset and angry at the cancellation being so close to the event date.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<div id="attachment_336" style="width: 567px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-336" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-336 " src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/13-300x200.jpeg" alt="" width="557" height="372" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/13-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/13-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/13-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/13.jpeg 1300w" sizes="(max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px" />Sourced via Elrowtown.com</div>
&nbsp;
This then adds to the worry of purchasing tickets for events in the future.
The subject of cancellation being so prominent in recent years has made people reluctant to book not just festivals and events, but holidays too.
<h4></h4>
<h4>A few too many cases</h4>
The BBC reported that the music festival Broadmasters &#8216;<a class="ssrcss-9nsdc6-InlineLink e1no5rhv0" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-58309660">is thought to have created 4,700 coronavirus cases.&#8217;</a>
The event took place between the 11th and 15th of August this year and was held in Newquay, Cornwall.
Broadmasters was one of the first events to take place during the August festival rush.

<div id="attachment_337" style="width: 513px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-337" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-337" src="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/READING-LEEDS-FESTIVAL-NEWS-What-shoe-did-you-sacrifice-300x200.jpeg" alt="" width="503" height="335" srcset="https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/READING-LEEDS-FESTIVAL-NEWS-What-shoe-did-you-sacrifice-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/READING-LEEDS-FESTIVAL-NEWS-What-shoe-did-you-sacrifice-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://blogadmin.golyv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/READING-LEEDS-FESTIVAL-NEWS-What-shoe-did-you-sacrifice.jpeg 810w" sizes="(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px" />Sourced via festivalflyer.com</div>
&nbsp;
Despite the fears of festivals causing cases to rise, other events have taken strict precautions to stop this from happening.
Reading and Leeds Festival took many <a href="https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2021-08-26/how-covid-safe-is-reading-festival">Covid secure actions</a> to avoid cases from rising.
This included showing proof of full vaccinations and of an NHS approved negative test.
&nbsp;
<h4>Were we ready?</h4>
With all things considered, were we really ready for festival season?
As it seems, it is all down to personal preference.
Whether we are comfortable or not getting back into the world with fewer restrictions and precautions is up to our individual selves.
If the right actions are taken to avoid anxieties to creep in, such as pre-planning, being sensible and keeping safe, then we should be on the right track to a more prepared festival season next year.
If there is one thing to consider, it is to make sure you are making the most of what you have before the world potentially, if ever, stops again.

Were we really ready for festival season?

<h3>The Canadian superstar releases his long-awaited sixth studio album</h3>
After the release of 2018&#8217;s &#8216;Scorpion&#8217;, many anticipated what else they can expect from Drake. 
Three years on, the Canadian rapper teased the great music he had in the stash.

Firstly, he dropped the &#8216;Dark Lane Demo Tapes&#8217; mixtape in May 2020 &#8211; which showcased his delivery, versatile flows and catchy hooks. 
His next move was releasing the &#8216;Scary Hours 2&#8217; EP in March 2021, conveying his lyrical ability whilst having two features &#8211; Lil Baby and Rick Ross.

These projects built suspense for Drake&#8217;s sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy, which had been first announced back in April 2019.
On October 24 2020, Drake&#8217;s 34th birthday, it was announced that the album would be released sometime in January 2021.

However, Drake suffered a knee injury in January 2021 that led to the album being delayed for nine months.
On 30 August, Drake officially announced that the album will release on September 3 2021.

Leading up to the album&#8217;s release, Drake announced the features through billboards.
The billboards appeared in the hometowns of the featured artists.
Some of the most notable features include Jay Z, Lil Baby, Future, Young Thug, Lil Durk, Giveon, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott and Tems.

We can offer the dry hire to approved clients. More usually, we work in-house to take care of licensing procurement of infrastructure,  staff and security, and on-the-day-management. We specialise in new or ‘young’ festivals - by partnering with BJP Productions, we can support and advise bookings right from the start, to ensure you have the best chance of turning a profit from year one onwards. 

If you have an event you'd like to discuss, please contact me for details, availability, and pricing.

Experiential is our favourite word

At Bubba Oasis we love having fun. 

Whether it is a Spanish guitarist on a chilled Monday night, a puppy cuddling session as a break between your Tuesday afternoon meetings, or our house DJ accompanied by percussionists every weekend we just wanna make you smile.

We’re a laid-back vibe with an informal house party atmosphere and everyone is welcome.
If you’re a performer, we’d love to hear from you. Check out the PDF below for more information
