A brand new Birmingham event, Beyond the Tracks looks to transform the open space near Millennium Point into a buzzing three-day festival in mid-September. While Orbital brings the beats and sets the festival mood Friday, local success stories Ocean Colour Scene and Editors top the two other days’ bills, but there’s also a supremely healthy dose of local talent filtering into the earlier slots, from Jaws and Superfood to Goodnight Lenin and Dorcha – not to mention some highly tempting reunion appearances from shoegaze veterans Slowdive, legendary dance duo Leftfield and psychedelic dream-punks Jesus and Mary Chain. Take a look at the line-up and buy advance tickets here.
15-17 Sep, Eastside City Park, Digbeth, Birmingham, from 12pm. £44-49.50 seetickets.com
