On the cover
Biffy Clyro front the DIY Festival Guide 2016!
The ultimate accessory for the summer’s events is out next week.

Every month, dear readers, we bring you a new magazine. Well, not this month. This month, you’re getting two - both our usual May issue, and an extra, completely different 84-page festival guide. Both available free in record shops, venues, bars and everywhere else you’d usually find us.
The 2016 Festival Guide in association with TicketWeb is fronted by Biffy Clyro, who not only have brand new album ‘Ellipsis’ freshly-announced and ready for release this July, but who’ve got a whole heap of massive festival appearances planned throughout the summer - including that giant returning headline slot at Reading & Leeds in August.
Preview the cover feature - Biffy Clyro: “Either love it or hate it, that’s what we want”
That’s not all - we’ve got words with Foals, Wolf Alice, Chvrches, Years & Years, The Maccabees, The Big Moon and Disclosure, plus lots of reasons to be Really Very Excited about the summer to come, including Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, all the best new bands, future headliners, old favourites and much more besides.
Stay tuned for news on our May cover on Monday (25th April). Both the Festival Guide 2016 and May issue will be out on Friday (29th April), available free at all the great places listed at diymag.com/stockists, or online below.
