Festival Season is Here!
The summer is here and to music lovers that means only one thing - festival season! It appears that almost every year, a new name pops up on the festival circuit. And that can only be a good thing surely, who wouldn't enjoy a good old-fashioned knees up after a long cold winter? Brits are spoilt for choice, with festivals catering for every musical taste. Weather you're a die-hard metal fan or a techno junkie, Britain has it covered. It can be difficult however, to know which festival(s) to go to.
In recent years, Brits have become spoilt for choice with new festivals cropping up every year it would seem, catering for every genre of music imaginable. From heavy metal and indie to trance and techno, Britain has it covered. One of the first festivals to pencil into your diary is Rockness, cleverly named so because of its location on the shores of Loch Ness just outside Inverness. With past acts such as Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers, the Scots really know how to put on a festival.
For the rockers and metal heads, Britain has an abundance of festivals to wet your whistle, none more so than Reading and Leeds. Taking place simultaneously at Bramham Park in Leeds and Richfield Avenue in Reading, this festival has had a long history of providing revellers with some of the biggest acts in rock. This year, expect to see Deftones and Offspring tearing up the stage.
The mother of all festivals and arguably the most famous in the world goes by the name of Glastonbury. Taking place from 22nd to 26th June on a farm in Somerset, Glastonbury has a long history behind it dating back to the summer of 1970, the day after Jimi Hendrix died. Beginning life as a small hippy festival and gradually expanding into a 135,000 capacity super festival whilst staying true to its hippy routes.
Towards the end of the British festival season, party animals are given a last chance to let their hair down before the long winter draws in. Bestival, situated on the Isle of White is organised by radio DJ and record label owner Rob da Bank. Held in September deep in the beautiful countryside of the Isle of White. With huge acts playing to a hedonistic crowd every year, this is a quirky little festival that you have to try out.
