Festivals in the United Kingdom

[dcbell05]

Hello fellow festival fans,

I've been going to Coachella for the past few years, but I am now going to be spending at least a year in Aberdeen, Scotland working. I'm sad to miss Coachella this year, but I am excited to get to some other festivals in the UK. I was wondering if people could help me track down the names of the other major festivals in Scotland and the rest of the UK? I know of Glastonbury, Rewind, and Rockness.

I know there must be more in the UK. What are the big ones?

Also, I guess since Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden are all pretty close, anything located over there would be appreciated too.

I appreciate any help in advance!

Thanks,
D

We went to Bestival in September and had fun.

Roskilde is supposed to be great. It's a week of partying then a 4 day festival at the end.

In addition to the CoS list, there's a uk website called "efestivals" that keeps up to date information on all things festivals. Particularly Euro festivals.

Thanks for all the help! I'm starting to read through all the websites you guys recommended.

T in the park always looks like a good line up. Crowd looks fun and into the music. Only downside is that there are a lot of NEDS and the festival gets a bit trashy, from what i have heard and read.

if you're into riots and moshing, then Reading is the place

Boomtown Fair looks like a fun party.
