Reading and Leeds Festival
This festival takes place on August 26-29.
Taking place on a bank holiday weekend and just after GCSE results day, it’s probably best visited by teenagers that hope to let off steam after a lot of studying.
This year’s headliners are Stormzy, Post Malone and Liam Gallagher.
There are plenty of reasons to go; one being blue vodka slushies. Leeds Festival is always a reliably no-nonsense affair, you can forget the artisan food stalls, here you get burgers and chips, one type of lager and an absolutely enormous amount of music. A festival with its priorities in the right place, albeit with a shedload of tipsy teenagers shoved in there too.
End of the Road
This festival takes place on September 2-5.
Taking place in the charming location of Larmer Tree Gardens with loads of guitars on the line up and fitting summer vibes that serve to round off another musical summer. Also a festival that can be credited for being one of the first places to push for a gender balanced line up.

This festival provides a wonderful means to make the most of your summer. Not only having great music it also has a beautiful swimming lake.

With the addition of glorious banquets from top chefs it really is the full package.

It’s consistently considered one of the UK’s best festivals, but even if you just went for the beautiful scenery, it would be one to remember.
