It's a mammoth project, 17 parties in 17 cities around the world taking place at the same time, all on the 11th October, featuring a juicy global line up - Bloc Party in Paris,  Mark Ronson and Supergrass in London, M.I.A, N*E*R*D and Hotchip in New York (but of course) and Earth, Wind and Fire (!) in Barcelona...to cite but a few. Diesel is celebrating their 30th birthday with aplomb at their 'unparalleled, astonishing XXX parties'. The hilarious, super riské Diesel XXX video has to take the (birthday) cake - if the parties are going to be anything like the video, be scared, very scared. Nice one Diesel. Just a pity there's no bash in Africa. But I guess we can't have it all.
