Hey everyone...
As I mentioned before in my
Hello Summer post June means the start of the UK festival season and this post (along with my next few) are all going to be based around the UK festival season. The reason I am sticking so close to home is because the American and European festival scene is so big it would take me years and years to pick favourites (maybe some time in the future... maybe). Today I'll be showing you 3 festivals that are perfectly tailored for me, that I am loving.
The first is
Glastonbury Festival. I have already mentioned this in my Hello Summer post but I really cannot get enough of this festival this year. With the line-up being the most controversial (I think) for years, I personally think its one of their best. Kanye West, Foo Fighters and LIONEL RITCHIE (yes I am a 20 year old who is excited about that) headlining it really is catering for everyones music taste. I haven't come across anyone who hasn't heard at least one song from either of those headliners and wont sing along to them. If you don't fancy those headliners (you must be mad) they have James Bay, George Ezra and Alt-J performing on the famous pyramid stage over the weekend too. I cannot wait to watch this on the tele 24-28th June, if you were lucky to get a ticket I am so jealous. Its not a bad price either at £220 for the weekend including camping!
The next is
Boardmasters. This is a festival I recently have come across but have fallen completely in love with. Set on the beautiful beaches in Cornwall this festival has been said to be the closest thing to Bondi beach in England. The line-up is perfect too, headliners this summer are Faithless, Rudimental and Bastille. All providing summer classics to fully enjoy beach life. Other artists performing that I am super excited about are Catfish and the Bottleman, Everything Everything and Sea Sick Steve. I will have to keep my eyes peeled for reviews and highlights as sadly I don't think this festival is televised (why not?). However, if you are around 5th-9th August and like the sound of Boardmasters pick up a ticket its only £119 for the weekend.
The final festival I am crushing on this year is one very close to home,
Reading and Leeds festival. I attended Reading festival religiously since the age of 16 before heading to University. This was partly due to the festival being moments down the road and the fact that I find myself falling in love with the line-up almost every year. This years headliners are Mumford & Sons, Metallica and The Libertines. It's Reading and Leeds doing what they do best, making each headliner a little different to cater for everyones likes. I was a little skeptical about Mumford and Sons as headliners but since hearing their latest stuff I am excited to see them rock that stage. Other artists on the line-up include Alt-J, Royal Blood and Kendrick Lamar. There are so many more that I could list as there are so many bands I like playing. Like Glasto I am so excited to see this on the TV. However if you want to go keep the 28th-30th August free and £205 spare.
The three festivals I am loving are very rock music based, if that isn't your scene check out
New Look Wireless festival or
V Festival. They are perfect for those who like a bit of pop/chart music. If you are heading to a festival this summer let me know on Twitter or Instagram, I'd love to know what made you want to go. Or are you loving my favourite festivals for this summer? Just drop me a tweet.
See you Thursday,
Love Katie x
