Mexico
On its 8th edition, this latin rock festival, the most important of its kind, will see the performance of 67 bands from 10 different countries. Cafe Tacuba, El Tri and Gustavo Cerati will be the headliners, and the British Steel Pulse and The Magic Numbers, the special guests.
Foro Sol, Mexico City

Forget trick or treat. Mexicans celebrate The Day of the Dead (Día de Meurtos) in outrageous style in remembrance of their dead relatives.
Living Room gay club is packed out most weekends, but especially worth a visit for the festival. This former church is busting at the altar with fire-eaters, monsters on stilts and house tunes louder than any male voice choir.
Arrive early to enjoy the queue and check out some of the city's hottest guys and girls.
