Festivals are everywhere. There are loads of them. They are coming to get us. But it’s ok; they come in peace, man.

These friendly festivals are a great place to see your favourite bands and check out new ones. And hopefully the sun will be shining; you will get drunk; you might stagger to the wrong tent: you will have the time of your life, with friends that you quite like. You might even make some new ones.

But alas, maybe you can’t make it to any and you are missing out. Or maybe you are going to all of them and just can’t wait. Well, we’ve checked out the line-ups of some of the biggest and best festivals this summer and hereby present the highlights. The list will grow and grow, so be sure to come back for new pages (navigation at the bottom).

So set the tent up in the sitting room (if it’s not already up!), download the music from the festivals that take your fancy and play it so loud that your neighbours will think you are having a festival of your own. Before long they’ll all be round with their tents. What larks.
