SPOONFED Cambridge’s legendary drum and bass night returns to Fez Club with another line-up of genre heavyweights this month. Usually on a Thursday night (bad news for DnB lovers who also need to get up for work in the morning), this special edition of the event takes place on Sunday 5 May – the night before bank holiday Monday – and goes right the way through to 6am. The event is the brainchild of local producer DJ Logistics, aka Matt Gresham, and his older brother Dan (Nu:Tone), together with Saikon & In:Most, and offers a chance to see some of the biggest names in the game in an intimate setting. This month’s special guests are LSB and Pola & Bryson and tickets are available on FIXR. Search Spoonfed Cambridge on Facebook for more details.
HONEYBLOOD Glasgow’s Stina Tweeddale has fronted Honeyblood for seven years, but the third album, In Plain Sight (out on 24 May), sees the former duo now very much her sole vision. She’s collaborated with producer John Congleton (Angel Olsen, St. Vincent) for her most ambitious work yet. Catch Honeyblood at the Junction on 1 May, tickets £14. junction.co.uk
IDLEWILD Idlewild have dabbled in a range of styles over the years, which has seen them feature at Cambridge Folk Festival, among other big stages. They’re performing tracks from their new album Interview Music at the Junction on 1 May, with tickets priced at £22.50 in advance. junction.co.uk
