The Croisette Beach may not have been The Overlook Hotel (thankfully), but this year's shots beach party, which took inspiration from our annual comic, which itself took inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic The Shining, was an equally thrilling destination.

When the first shots party took place is lost in the annals of time, but each year we manage to bring great people, great music and a smattering of alcohol which is then mixed to perfection to create the best party of the week... in our opinion, anyway.

If you were there and want to relive the night, or if you weren't there and want to see what all the fuss is about (or if you were there, but would appreciate a gentle reminder of what happened), then you're in the right place.

As ever, we would like to thank our headline sponsor for the party, Story:, as well as our other sponsors, Lobo, Ninch, La Doble and Felt Music, which provided the night's incomparable DJ, Raven.

Thanks, too, to our comic-creators, writers Fitch/Baker and artist Joe Totti, and of course, the night wouldn't be the same without the 2,000-or-so partygoers letting off some rosé-tinted steam, so thank you all for being there. 

See you next year for more of the same.
