Rowe and Garen Scribner's libretto takes its liberties, setting the action in a world where everything is green and an evil princess has ruled that nothing be eaten but peas.

Abstract Lounge brings a calm musical atmosphere into the Golden Gate Valley Branch Library's main reading area. Patrons are encouraged to read, work, browse the collection or become absorbed in contemplation while enjoying a mind-expanding flow of sound.

AC Milan, Juventus, and Inter will head to Australia for pre-season, marking an unprecedented collaboration among three of Serie A's biggest teams, aiming to enhance the league's visibility.

The ridges of eucalyptus bark, the geometries of shell formations, moss-covered trees, Indigenous grasslands and the hidden networks of fungi beneath the soil. These landscapes produce organic yet abstract patterns - natural systems that quietly shape the way we see and design the world around us.

The first floor is now home to The Ballroom, a cocktail bar and events space with room for 250 people to sip cocktails and listen to vinyl. The room gives strong '70s vibes, with raspberry-pink walls, leather and PVC booth-style seating and oak details all adding to the old school aesthetic.

People kept using the same word - 'iconic' - whether they were thirty, fifty or seventy." The team interviewed staff who'd just joined and staff who'd been there for twenty years, customers since the 80s, locals, online shoppers, and LGBTQIA+ community members, revealing the bookshop's legendary status across generations and demographics.

Organizers canceled the 2026 Adelaide Writers' Week festival on Tuesday, after some 180 international and Australian authors withdrew from the event in protest of the scrapping of an appearance by an Australian-Palestinian author and academic. The event's director Louise Adler, the Jewish daughter of Holocaust survivors, said she was quitting her role on Tuesday, shortly before the festival was called off altogether.

At the event, you can expect talks from Daniel Savage, a multi-disciplinary artist, designer, and animator whose work often focuses on exploring modular animation systems and process-driven work. As well as that, the graphic designer Sarah Elawad will be joining the stage to share the process behind her ultra-neon and kitsch graphic work which celebrates beauty, love and her culture through experimental prints, garments, video art and collage.

FRI/30-SUN/1: PIVOT FESTIVAL The 11th annual installment of this incredible boundary-pushing music festival has enlisted Andy Meyerson of the excellent Living Earth Show duo to curate-and boy is he bringing it. (If you haven't grokked Living Earth's terrific Roar Shack venue, hop to it, btw.) The weekend fills Herbst Theater with hyper-San Franciscan sounds, with performances by vocalist Tanner Porter, San Francisco Ballet dancer- choreographer Myles Thatcher, and Bay Area ensembles Bucket List (featuring composer-creator Mark Applebaum),

At the end of last year, XOYO (along with other London venue The Camden Assembly) was acquired by the newly formed Propaganda Independent Venues group, run by Propaganda founder Dan Ickowitz-Seidler and TEG founder Richard Buck. By acquiring the Shoreditch club, the group wanted to help it "thrive under independent ownership and become a cultural hub for the area, offering opportunities and support to local artists and businesses".

The Pride organisation faced widespread criticism after announcing it would not uphold a set of resolutions proposed in November 2025 by members of the public during its annual general meeting. One of the resolutions rejected by the Board of Directors called for the main focus of the 2026 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival to be the rights of transgender and non-binary people by "encouraging parade floats to show support for the trans community."

Marshall Smith, aka Farsight, has consistently crafted gelatinously wobbling basslines that reverberate throughout his distinctive, progressive dancefloor arrangements. Over the past four years, the former San Francisco DJ-producer-painter has been refining the formula, enhancing a dynamic mix of trap, Jersey club, reggaeton-meets-UK funky, and tribal house. When we last spoke in 2022, he told me that his inspirations ran the gamut from experimental heads such as Photek, Pearson Sound, Bloom, to locally minted players Bored Lord and Bastiengoat.

A band called Ad Nauseam is dead set on keeping grunge alive in Portland, but no local venue will return their calls to play a show. Like the most iconic grunge acts, Ad Nauseam has deep PNW roots. They deliver sludgy, whining guitar licks and haunting, sandpapery vocals. They've even got an angsty tune called "Scab Pimple" for goodness sake. So why can't they land a gig? Well, it might be because all four band members are between the ages of 10 and 16.

A new listening bar has opened in Walthamstow, bringing Japanese-inspired interiors, a carefully curated sound system and a seriously strong drinks list to the neighbourhood. The Olfa Club offers 27 wines by the glass, with prices starting from a fiver, alongside a mineralised water menu, plus a record player for guests who want to bring their own vinyl or dip into the in-house selection.

At its peak, XOYO in Shoreditch was one of the best nightclubs in London, playing host to residencies from the likes of Benji B, Andy C, Artwork, Bradley Zero, Skream, Bicep and The Blessed Madonna. However the club struggled to maintain that level of cultural relevance post-pandemic and declined in popularity as it became a more commercial venue. At the end of last year, XOYO (along with other London venue The Camden Assembly) was acquired by the newly formed Propaganda Independent Venues group,

Night-owls will have the chance to dance along to an eclectic mix of electronic and pop music under the same roof as the gallery's more than 2,300 paintings, dating as far back as the mid-13th century. If that wasn't enough, the set will be headlined by Soundcloud DJ Mia Lily, as well as RuPaul's Drag Race UK season 2 star Bimini Bon-Boulash, better known simply as Bimini.

Tate Modern Lates is handing the keys to Honey Dijon this LGBTQIA+ History Month, turning the museum into a proper celebration of queer culture with music, talks, workshops and art running through the night. The Chicago house icon (and longtime London nightlife fixture) is curating a programme that nods to the dancefloor as both sanctuary and statement, including an intimate on-stage conversation about her roots, inspirations and the evolution of queer club culture - from basements to after-hours institutions.
