BMC — on April 11th and 12th — is aiming to become the UK's answer to the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and the final line-up is looking super-strong.

Pierre's work with Phuture, messing around with a Roland TB-303 to create early acid tracks such as the seminal cut from 1987 (below), was crucial to the development of acid house, and he'll be sure to talk about his history, the 303, his 'wild pitch' sound and more during his interview onstage with DJ Mag's Carl Loben.  Keynote interviews will also be staged with Eats Everything, Martyn Ware from the Human League (interviewed by Dave Haslam from the Hacienda), Audiofly and AND.ID fro Mobilee, while Darius Syrossian, Jimpster, Skream, Dave Clarke and Paul Woolford have all recently been confirmed to DJ at the event.

• Dan Kavanaghs guide to surviving on tour
  Read more about Dan Kavanagh's guide to surviving on tour at MusicRadar.com As drummer for touraholics like Jamie Lenman and Godsized, Dan Kavanagh knows a thing or two about life on the road. Here we start a new series in which Dan tells you all you need to know about surviving on the road. So like many before you, your band is going on the road. Well done, this is a huge step to becoming a successful MUSIC an. But what will it be like and how do you prepare? Hopefully some of the things I've learned along the way might help you out, as proper planning can make your life a whole lot easier. This is a list of things I wish I could've read ten years ago. Cost You need to be ready for the price of your van, fuel, crossing charges, toll roads, merch, accommodation and food. That adds up fast. Advance the shows This is contacting each VENUE finding out who your point of contact is and getting all the details re load in, soundcheck, stage times etc. This is also your opportunity to mention any technical requirements your band may have. This is pretty standard stuff, but can build a relationship that makes the show day a lot easier. It also makes it harder for promoters to then stiff you on the rider if you have one (always specify the size of the bottle of JD!) The ride Make sure you've got what you need to be comfortable in the back of the van. A travel pillow is an absolute essential for long hauls, maybe also a blanket if it's winter and your van's drafty. I either like to sit up front so I can get a good look at the places I'm traveling through, or if I'm in the back I just like to zone out with my iPod. That's actually one of my favourite things in the world, and I save up records if there's a tour on the horizon. Get settled in, watch the world go by and get inspired by some new album on the way to a show - what could be better than that?! Have your passport on you, not in a bag in the back. Survival It can be brutal out there. A lot of people, small spaces. Make

• Popular Melbourne nightspot gets much needed makeover
  Popular Melbourne nightspot The Bottom End has come under new management and has received an exciting new face lift.Michael Delaney - the man behind Honkytonks, Third Class, Sorry Grandma!, Survivor!, Poof Doof and 77 - has taken over the CBD venue with intentions of bringing new life to one of the biggest and most versatile locations in Melbourne.He is joined by Nergal Youkana (Charades Sydney) and Peter Shopovski (House of Mince, Sydney) who will be bringing their veteran knowledge in promotions and bookings to ensure The Bottom End becomes a go-to spot for Melbourne nightlife.Speaking on the new direction of the venue, Delaney says they are making the best use of the place by "separating this massive venue into three distinct spaces". This will allow them to "provide the best drinking, eating and boutique clubbing spaces to different audiences, simultaneously.”So this is how The Bottom End is looking now:GROUND FLOOR – EASEY’S will be taking over the ground floor, cooking up their delicious burgers 6 days a week.MIDDLE FLOOR - BANANA : PEACH is a lightning rod for Melbourne’s world famous electronic music culture, able to host events of any shape or size.TOP FLOOR - FRANCIS28 – GAY CLUB Level 2 is Francis28, accessible only up the stairs from the Francis Street entrance.

• Florence the Machine review – gungho diva has OTT down to a T
  Royal Festival Hall, LondonShe can’t fetch a bottle of water without twirling around and waving her arms, but Florence Welch’s theatricality proves powerful as she performs tracks from new album High as HopeIn the multiplatinum, in-at-number-one, Glastonbury-headlining world Florence + the Machine inhabit, the Royal Festival Hall represents a low-key comeback gig after a couple of years’ absence. That said, low-key isn’t the phrase that immediately springs to mind when confronted with their performance. The stage is bedecked with so many flowers and so much foliage it looks less like the Royal Festival Hall than the Royal Horticultural Society spring show. The band numbers eight, including two keyboard players, two percussionists and a harpist who occasionally diversifies with glockenspiel, and the venue’s enormous pipe organ – usually concealed behind boards at the rear of the stage – is on display and primed for use during the encore.It’s intended as no slight on the organist to say it that doesn’t make much difference to the overall sound. One of the effects of cramming a band used to playing arenas into somewhere smaller is that they invariably sound immense, as if the venue is struggling to contain their sound. So it is tonight, which fits Florence + the Machine’s music. Their – well, her – stock-in-trade is high drama, heavy on the rumbling drums and roaring vocals. It says something that a song as breezily anthemic as 2015 single Ship to Wreck, complete with its Fleetwood Mac-like chorus, represents one of the more subdued moments. A handful of songs from the band’s forthcoming fourth album, High as Hope, seem to dial down the ostentation slightly – such things are obviously relative, but there is a folky simplicity about current single Sky Full of Song – at least until they get to 100 Years, a track so gung-ho in its theatrical swoops from gentle piano ballad to tom-tom pounding and violin scraping it makes the other gung-ho theatrical tracks they’ve come up

• Beach House review – sonic adventures against a starlit sky
  The Ritz, ManchesterThe Virginia duo deliver their echo-laden, Wurlitzer-whirling noise to a heaving venue in a slow-building dreampop spectacle“This one’s going to be in near darkness,” mutters the man on the door, and Beach House emerge in so much gloom that if one of them mislaid a contact lens, there would be a health and safety incident. It’s a typically unconventional entrance from a band who are doing things their way.As pop’s ever-baffling array of genres now ranges from skwee to (really) charred death, Baltimore’s Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally’s music doesn’t fit comfortably into any of them. Although their six albums have been labelled dreampop and shoegaze, neither tag quite captures their blend of the Cocteau Twins, 60s folk, the gentler side of My Bloody Valentine and the Ronettes’ wind-tunnel pop.
