UCI DOWNHILL<br />
WORLD CUP<br />
<strong>The</strong> Scottish Highlands have<br />
seen many battles throughout<br />
history, and that’s set to continue<br />
this <strong>June</strong> as the top downhill<br />
mountain-bikers meet on Fort<br />
William’s 2.8km track for the UK<br />
leg of the World Cup. Can Tahnee<br />
Seagrave successfully defend<br />
her victory here last year?<br />
Or will Rachel Atherton, who<br />
came third after a snapped chain,<br />
claim the throne on her newly<br />
built and tested Atherton bike?<br />

Manga<br />
<strong>The</strong> comic-book art form<br />
known as Manga is loved by<br />
adults and children alike in<br />
Japan, and has influenced<br />
Western culture through video<br />
games, cosplay, and movies<br />
such as Alita: Battle Angel.<br />
Witness the largest exhibit of<br />
Manga outside Japan, with<br />
examples from its origins in<br />
12th-century scrolls through<br />
to modern anime films.<br />

David Blaine:<br />
Real or Magic<br />
If that’s a question, the answer<br />
would seem to be ‘illusion’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> US magician forever blurs<br />
the line between trickery and<br />
endurance feat; in 2010, Blaine<br />
held his breath for a recordbreaking<br />
17m 4.5s. Judge his<br />
authenticity for yourself as<br />
he embarks on this nationwide<br />
tour. Various locations, UK;<br />

Field Day<br />
This three-day party is back for a 13th year,<br />
shifting roots from its 2018 site – Brockwell Park<br />
in south London – to an epic location in the north<br />
of the city: four gigantic interlinked warehouses<br />
and 10 acres of outdoor space near Tottenham<br />
Marshes. Does that still qualify as a ‘field’ day?<br />
Few will complain with a bill that includes Diplo,<br />
Octavian, <strong>The</strong> Black Madonna, Jorja Smith and<br />
Skepta (in his only London summer festival show),<br />
with after-parties at Printworks London.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Drumsheds, Meridian Water, London;<br />
