Goodbye 2018 12 Months of ‘18: January, February & March

The Quality Streets have been scoffed, the Baileys is on hand and us lot at DIY HQ are getting all misty-eyed and reflective looking back on the last twelve months. And what a twelve months it’s been for music! So, in true end-of-year fashion, we’re running through some of 2018’s biggest highlights, along with a handful of our own favourites.

So cast your minds back all the way to the start of the year: when Lily Allen announced her first album for four years, Arctic Monkeys did what no other band could do and announced plans to play almost every festival in Europe - all in one bloody day - Frank Ocean got interviewed by actor du jour Timothée Chalamet, while Robert Smith was busy raiding his phonebook for the latest Meltdown Festival line-up. And obviously, loads of our faves returned with new music. All in all, it was a bloody great start to the year.

Dive into our highlights from January, February and March…
