So, welcome to the first official "Fat Friday" of 2009. We had a portly one last week, but this is the first fully fledged, fat-assed Friday... enjoy!

First up is the annual arts/ technology/ music festival that "places a strong emphasis on cutting-edge collaborations and visual culture". This year's event is a strong one, featuring heavy-hitters David Byrne, Brian Eno, Peaches, Royksopp and many more. Taking place over two-and-a-bit weeks from Thursday 9th April, tickets range from £12.00 to £40 and are on sale tomorrow (Friday 23rd Jan) morning at 10AM.

Lily Allen completes her hat-trick at the Shepherds Bush Empire, adding Sat 28th March to the schedule, which includes 26th and 27th March. Tickets costing £21.50 are available now for the 26th and 27th and from tomorrow morning (9AM) for the Saturday 28th date.
