Finsbury Park has long been home to music festivals and music lovers alike. Just over two weeks ago the park held host to thousands of excitable festival goers for what was set to be a brand new experience. Community Festival did not disappoint. The one day festival kicked off with a huge line up of indie, rock and pop artists all of whom have made the their mark this year in the music scene. The real fun started with Slaves who absolutely stood out for me as a main stage act

Originally a pop-up, Anchorage Beach Club has grown massively since its inaugural festival in 2015. Hosting some of the most renowned international DJs, thousands of revellers will descend onto Mersea Island for a day of summer partying. Sam Feldt and Sem Thomasson are the first to be announced, with more artists still to come – so expect a packed line-up filled with well-known DJs and some of the best up and coming talent around. Usually a tranquil spot, Mersea Island will b

Corona SunSets was one of our favourite music festivals last summer without a doubt. Something very different to anything else we’ve experienced. Set amongst the beautiful London backdrop at the Greenwich Peninsula, the location is stunning. For one day only, this derelict space is turned into a beach paradise – feel the sand between your toes, grab yourself a Corona and let the music take you away. This year the line-up is shaping up nicely with José Padilla, Mambo Brothers,

Wonder Fields is as free and easy a festival as they come. This small bijoux festival is a refreshingly delightful alternative to the mainstream. Creative siblings Alice and Nick have certainly succeeded in their desire to ‘create a space to celebrate life away from the shackles of the outside world’. Now in its third year, this journey of undiscovered sensory delights is tucked neatly into the folds of the beautiful South Devonshire countryside. The surrounding land of Great

Strawberries & Creem has grown rapidly over the last few years. Started off by a group of university friends, it returned for the fourth instalment. The music festival is a celebration of grime, rap, hip hop and everything in between and is one of very few of its kind, the choice of doing it in a very middle-class Cambridgeshire countryside was very much a conscious choice. No shits given. Music festivals are generally in the middle of nowhere, so we ALWAYS drive – we rolled

It's summer, get yourself out the house and surround yourself with some of those happy vibes. We've picked out Citadel Festival as a music festival you need to check out this July, here are some of the reasons why. You can get your tickets here. Music After the magical craziness that is Lovebox the previous two days, Citadel is more of a chilled soul nourishing affair. This year sees the likes of Foals with their only London festival appearance this year, Bonobo with an incre

Maxi Jazz (Faithless) has been announced for Soul Circus this year! This big announcement shows just how wide ranging and big hitting this festival is. He’ll not only be providing a headline set on the Saturday, but a DJ yoga class (yep, you heard right) AND he’ll be hosting a talk on Buddhism. This will be alongside a range of talks, music and workshops from some of the most influential names in the industry. Taking place in the Cotwolds, Gloucestershire you can enjoy the la

Lovebox is a permanent fixture in most festival calendars nowadays. The years pass but it continues to feel as fresh as it did when it first hit the scenes. Situated in the leafy East London surroundings of Victoria Park, it feels like an escape from the grind of daily city life, allowing you to enter a world of music, mayhem and mischief. Last year was a treat. We were blessed with fine weather and an even finer selection of artists. The grounds itself are large enough that

Wildfire Adventure Camp has been a festival we’ve wanted to go to since it first began in 2015. We here at Festival For You love something that’s a little bit different, and if that something a little bit different is done well – you’ve got something very special. The festival is a hybrid between a music festival and a 1950’s adventure camp, sounds cool already right? You can take part in the carefully curated activities in the day led by the ever energetic tour leaders, then

An escape you would’ve never experienced before. Soul Circus is all about balance, chill by day and party by night. Set it the heart of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, the surroundings are beautiful, and you’re given a playground to embrace your inner hedonist and escape reality. The festival is simple – yoga, food and music. You can spend your days doing hot yoga, indulging in the Bamford spa, sipping on some fresh juice, then spend your evenings trying out the wide range of

Hogsozzle is all about the wonderful hog and having fun, simple. Started off by a group of friends, this boutique, independent music festival has continued to grow every year, adding more hogs, more stages, more people and most importantly, a whole lot more fun! This year was a near sell-out, with nearly all 1500 tickets being sold – an unsurprising outcome after we experienced the music festival ourselves. This year there was the epic hog roast, 4 stages of party inducing be

Goldcoast Oceanfest – 16th - 18th June 2017 – South England Oceanfest blends a potentially intoxicating, eclectic and laid-back mix of quality music, exhilarating surf, action packed sports, locally sourced food and family‑friendly fun. It’s big enough to

People often forget that the smaller festivals can offer something so much different to the larger, more commercial festivals. Here are some we've picked out. Wonder Fields - 7th – 9th July 2017 - South England The festival first came about when two siblings (Alice and Nick) wanted to create a space for adventure, music, community and travel. This became Wonder Fields. There’s a huge amount of variety at this festival despite its size, staying true to the grass roots beginnin
