It's difficult to remember what hanging out in the park feels like at the moment, but think warming thoughts and before you know it, it'll be time for the Lovebox weekender, which this year turns 10 and comes a month earlier with another brilliant line-up that combines the best of UK bass, the freshest underground DJs, partytastic electronic live acts, upfront rappers, camp pop divas and some of the best names the London nightlife scene has to offer taking over its myriad themed stages, tents and arenas. Friday goes for cutting edge urban producers, with takeovers from Digital Soundboy, Hessle Audio and flagship London radio station Rinse FM. Saturday, meanwhile, boasts an eclectic and tropical mix featuring Hospital Records, the Crosstown Rebels crew and, on the main stage, some of the world's best female pop talent in Kelis and Emeli Sandé (and, on Sunday, Del Rey). Expect Sunday - Lovebox's effervescent 'gay day', this year commanded by the iconic new wave/reggae majesty known as Grace Jones - to have some of the biggest names in disco including Optimo and Horse Meat Disco taking over its legendary, tranny-filled NYC Downlow space and an area hosted by east London's favourite gay haunt, Dalston Superstore.
