Summer Music Festivals

United KingdomCultural experiencesDate pending official confirmation

The UK's summer music festivals bring together a wide range of sounds, from folk traditions rooted in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to modern styles such as rock, pop, metal and drum and bass. The festival season usually runs from late May to early September, with June included in this broad period. Visitors can explore major events and discover performances across varied genres; Glastonbury is one long-established example, held since the 1970s. Because programmes and arrangements vary from year to year, check current official dates, locations and visitor information before making plans.
