The Dirty Dozen
Our guide to 12 of the barmy best from this year’s UK festivals. Get stuck in!For us hedonistically inclined folk, nothing defines the British summer quite like festivals. Come thunderous rain or glorious shine, us Brits seem to have a half-mad obsession for trudging round the green fields of our land — off our chops and feverishly in search of new sounds, friends and experiences to blow our minds.
Be it boutique gatherings, sprawling mash-ups, hippy havens or colossal commercial powerhouses, there’s something for all in the UK’s ever-crowded festival fields, so we’ve delved out into the lands to select our dirty dozen from this year’s offering. Get stuck in.
