The XLR team say they want to offer an affordable option to help encourage the area’s student clubbers to the venue; as a “corkage fee”, punters will be able to buy tickets for the venue ranging from £10 - £20, depending on the line-up.

“We’ve noticed a lot of venues these days are encouraging lower ticket pricing,” XLR Booking Manager Chris Hindle tells Mixmag. “Which is great, but then you get to the bar and it’s 12 quid for a double”.

“Whereas we’re going in the opposite direction: Once you’ve paid, the night is as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be,” he adds.

A homicide investigation has been launched after an unidentified man was found dead at Burning Man over the weekend.

The body was discovered just as festivities were kicking off for the annual burning of the wooden effigy on the penultimate day of the festival (August 30), at around 9:14PM. An attendee reportedly told a deputy that they had discovered a man “lying in a pool of blood”.

Authorities believe that the incident was a “singular crime”, but told attendees to remain “vigilant”. They also said that the incident is complicated since the city where Burning Man takes place - Black Rock City, Nevada - will be “gone by the middle of the week”.

“The safety and well-being of our community are paramount,” Burning Man said in a statement. “If you are in Black Rock City, do not interfere with law enforcement activity.”

It marks the third death in three years at Burning Man, with a fatality reported at each of the the 2023 and 2024 editions.
