Next week brings us the return of the BRIT Awards as the music awards show takes over London on Tuesday 21st February. After our good (and sometimes terrible) predictions for last weeks BAFTAs we thought we would try our hand at music instead to see if we fair any better. Not only that, but fans are given the chance to [...]

Every year we generally get a treat when it comes to music, some new band will appear from no-where just when we have lost all sense of hope. And we pray the crap teen pop bands that are constantly pushed in our faces will hopefully disappear into obscurity (or the sea) and never been seen again. Well to help us [...]

The best of Jamaican nightlife is coming to London on 12th November, and we have teamed up with The Smirnoff Co to offer you the chance to say “I was there”. Its all sold out, so this could be one of your last chances to nab some tickets! Just head over to Facebook and enter now. I’m sure by now [...]

Now music videos are ten a penny, even music videos with hot women are pretty much the norm. Between them and Llamas with hats or a sneezing baby panda, it’s the only reason most of us scour YouTube. Well the blonde and long legged lovely that is Pixie Lott is next up with her new video ‘What Do You Take [...]

HTC commandeered the Camden Roundhouse for the launch of their brand new Goliath: HTC Sensation XL. The XL lives up to its name in more ways than one, and it wasn’t just your run of the mill tech launch event, oh no, this one literally took over the whole of London with anyone and everyone in attendance. Not only were [...]

The summer is well and truly coming to and end, but as well as the last parts of sunshine, there is still plenty of reason to be cheery! Xbox have spent the summer in Ibiza with Ibiza rocks, attending parties, get togethers and pretty much everything else on the party island for the last 18 odd weeks. The likes of [...]

Between us we’ve had 10 in a row and this was, quite possibly, our last music festival of the year. Thanks to HTC, it looked as though we may very well have saved the best for last. Creamfields has already earned a reputation and rich history in delivering the best dance music to a festival environment. The 3 night, 2 [...]

The Boardmasters Festival brings together the two loves of the South West. No, not cider and farming… surfing and live music. And, last week (10-14 August) saw the 30th annual festival take place. On Newquay’s Fistral Beach, surfing talent from around the globe battled it out for huge cash prizes but, at the top of the shores, there was another [...]

From Saturday night to early Sunday morning, the O2 Arena in London played host to the first UK outing of the internationally acclaimed Smirnoff Sensation event.

The Big Chill takes place in the deer park that surrounds Eastnor Castle, deep within the rolling hills and valleys of Herefordshire in the West of England and just spitting distance from the Welsh Border. Although as lovely as the place looked, we were not here on a National Trust weekend, we were there to enjoy the vast array of [...]

We are mostly southerners here at Average Joe’s. Yet when we were invited up to Kendal Calling, the award winning best small festival of 2010, we jumped in the car and sped up the country to look for a small fest YES from Lucozade. A festival with only a short history, which has seen its numbers increase tenfold, moved to [...]

Time flies when the sun is shining and you are having fun, and it certainly did this weekend. No we were not at T in the Park, we were in Wales at Wakestock! There in all our glory with the Lucozade team looking for our YES moment, and boy did we find it… The unique festival is one of the [...]

When a company called Equinux got in touch and said they’ve got some software that will quickly and aptly fill in missing track information and cover art for my iTunes music collection I was naturally cynical; after all there are hundreds of alternative solutions. And I’ve tried many such solutions in the past and I’ve found them to be not [...]

Some may say we live in the age of festivals. There are so many now that they range from music to literary, technology to comic book, and could be based in the UK, the US, Europe, Asia, anywhere really. Helping you choose your festival is one thing, but making sure you are fully equipped to survive and enjoy it is [...]
