2022 is the year of the festival. As the music scene returns to (certainly a new) normal, our live gigs and festivals are back! With Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary finally going ahead after two years, it’s got people thinking, what other festivals are out there? Let’s take a look at some of the other festivals you do not want to miss this summer.
All Points East

This collection of days will also include Field Day Festival which partnered with All Points East last year to add to an already incredible weekend. As the festival continues to grow, so does our love for it. With something for everyone, you will find the perfect day for you (if you haven’t already booked off the whole week for it like us).
