 |  | …after hearing great things about Lina Stores, we’ve got outside counter dining on the mind. Foley’s is another fave – any others you can think of? We’re calling it now – these are the seats of the summer. In other news, this week marks the opening of Moët Summer House – day passes are sold out, but you can still apply for the waiting list; we’ve got our eyes on tickets for the curated performance by ex-Royal Ballet soloist Eric Underwood. We’ll be keeping an eye out. Overseas, it’s Sónar’s 25th birthday and it seems like all of the electronic music world will be in Barcelona next week. As for us? Find us at the intimate RED58 club for Seth Troxler all night long on Saturday, 16th June. It’s almost sold out so get tickets now if you want in!

Red Bull’s Music Odyssey may actually make the Thames a place we’d like to party this year, and the final tickets are flying out – catch them! And when you’ve had enough of the parties, book in for a night at the movies with the Luna Beach Cinema, right by the sand in Brighton, running all summer long.
