This is our list of stuff to do at Incubate! Obviously we’d love you to come to our residency at the Extase – and encamp there over the weekend – but it’s your time and you’ve spent your hard earned on a ticket so who are we to tell you what to do?

Here goes… Obviously we’d love you to come to our residency at the Extase – and encamp there over the weekend – but it’s your time and you’ve spent your hard earned on a ticket so who are we to tell you what to do? There is the odd manic sprint needed to cover everything below and one or two (frankly criminal) choices to be made; which may mean a finger wagging to the organisers – how can Chris & Cosey & the Membranes overlap, or Gul Night Out & BSP? that is very unkosmische in our books. We also tell you to go and see a band twice (the mighty WOLVON, you must catch them). But as ever it’s still the BEST underground arts festy in Europe & we support Incubate 110%, Ron. Further details to the list can be found here http://incubate.org/2012/timetables
