Cirque du Soleil’s OVO at the Royal Albert Hall 🐞✨
Visually dazzling, seriously athletic, and bursting with colour, even if the story takes a back seat at times. Not every moment soars, but the sheer spectacle more than makes up for it.
A joyful, high-energy escape and honestly a perfect antidote to a dreary January night out.

Isle of Wight Festival 2025: Where Legends Return and New Sounds Rise
🎪 13–16 June 2025 | Seaclose Park, Newport

Summer isn’t summer without a pilgrimage to the Isle of Wight Festival. As one of the UK’s most iconic music gatherings, it’s where rock royalty, indie legends, and rising stars come together for one unforgettable weekend steeped in heritage and hedonism.

From its countercultural roots in the late ’60s—when Hendrix, Dylan, and The Doors played to hundreds of thousands—to its modern revival as a mainstay of the British festival scene, the Isle of Wight Festival mixes nostalgia with next-gen energy like no other.

🎸 The Line-Up: A Cross-Generational Playlist

This year’s headliners promise something for everyone. Expect Foo Fighters to bring seismic energy, Dua Lipa to serve up dance-pop perfection, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds to provide the Britpop gold. For the indie lovers, there’s Wet Leg, the island’s own breakout band, while electronic fans can dance into the night with Bicep and Peggy Gou.

🏕️ Beyond the Main Stage

There’s magic away from the spotlight too. Whether you’re into immersive art installations, comedy pop-ups, or wellness tents, the festival has grown into a full sensory experience. The Kidzone and boutique camping mean it’s not just for teens in wellies—families and seasoned festivalgoers alike will find their groove.

🌊 Island Vibes

What sets Isle of Wight Festival apart isn’t just the music—it’s the setting. With sea breezes, vintage fairgrounds, and that irresistible feeling of being ‘away’, it delivers escapism with every beat.

Whether you’re dancing barefoot in the grass or sipping something cold as the sun goes down over the Solent, is more than just a weekend—it’s a rite of summer.

Amazing night Cirque du Soleil– now playing at the Royal Albert Hall until 2 March

It delivers the usual blend of spectacular circus feats and puzzling narrative choices. The show follows Mauro, a clown imagining his own funeral. While the story seems a bit muddled, with the premise never fully explored, it provides a loose framework for the breathtaking performances that define Corteo.

Set in a transformed Royal Albert Hall, the show creates an intimate atmosphere by splitting the audience into two facing halves. The performances that follow are visually stunning—jaw-dropping aerial acts, stunning hoop tricks, and daredevil feats on trampolines and high bars.

Among the highlights, Stephanie Waltman’s suspended pole act is nothing short of extraordinary, demonstrating incredible strength and precision. Another standout moment is the Paradis act, where performers are flung between platforms with dizzying speed and trust. The whimsical Helium act, where performer Valentyna Paylevanyan floats across the arena suspended by balloons, is a memorable spectacle, even if it feels a little unsettling at times.

Despite its clear strengths in acrobatics, Corteo struggles with its thematic coherence - but ultimately, Corteo is a dazzling experience— if you’re there for the jaw-dropping circus acts, rather than a solid storyline, you’ll find plenty to admire in Corteo - it’s a must-see!

Corteo runs at the Royal Albert Hall until 2 March
