Resistance is futile: super-producer and party rocker to the stars Mark Ronson takes over the main room, which also hosts a live set from superb London rapper, Sway, as well as the breathtaking turntable skills of the Scratch Perverts. Fabio and Andy C head up the drum & bass flavour of Room 2 and the third room reverberates to the housey sounds of Yousef and Luke Carr among others.

As One Presents Bugged Out
The End, WC1

Klub Kerrang!
Koko, NW1
They don't know how to spell, but that's rock 'n roll for you - right kids? Holding a special appeal for young people who hate their parents, the metal magazine's new monthly celebration of guitar punishment offers the chance to rock out in style. Malpractice and Kids In Glasshouse perform live, while the magazine's writers put all those free CDs to good use by throwing on an ear-splitting selection of punk, indie, thrash and death metal.
