This week’s Big Interview subject is MTV UK’s VP, programming, Kelly Bradshaw, who goes deep on the inner workings of the legendary entertainment giant.

Elsewhere, we speak to the team behind London Weekend Events about how they’ve revolutionised club culture in the capital, and interview Eastside Events’ Daryl Robinson on the importance of grass roots promoters.

There’s also a one-page preview on The Great Escape Festival, counting down the 10 bands you can’t afford to miss in Brighton this month.

Returning metal titans Linkin Park fill us in on how they embraced co-writers and grime for upcoming album One More Light, their boldest release yet.

In the news pages, we talk Eurovision with BBC Radio 2’s Ken Bruce and hear from the organisers of a 24-hour blackout taking place today (May 8) on 28 festival websites to promote increased awareness of sexual assault. We also talk to VMS about the new hires in its promotions arm.

Punk/country singer Jade Jackson is On The Radar, while Microsoft and Mura Masa occupy our latest Sync Story slot.
