Your guide to the UK’s
biggest music festivals
Around this time of year, tickets for the biggest and best festi-
vals the UK has to offer are up for grabs… but which one
should you invest in? Read this to make your decision.
Reading & Leeds
Headliners this year
for this (mainly rock
music) festival, in-
clude The 1975, The
Foo Fighter, Twenty
One Pilots, Post
Malone an amazing
mix of British and
American acts.
Reading & Leeds fes-
tival goers say it can
be whatever you
make it; a family
friendly weekend or a
teenage rave, but
guarantee it will be
an unforgettable ex-
perience.
Top tips:
Buy a bigger tent
to fit your stuff in,
if there’s 2 people
sharing a tent, get
a 3 man as it’s a
good idea to keep
your stuff inside
where it can’t be
taken.
Camp slightly up-
hill and away from
the path.
Make your tent
recognisable with
lights, glow in the
dark paint, flags,
etc.
Bring bin bags,
wipes and gaffer
tape– trust me on
this one.
Stash spare money
in your phone case
and don’t bring too
much.
Reviews
“I thought it was really
good, centrally located
so can park or stay in a
hotel if camping isn't
your thing.
Food and drink were
quite expensive.
Bands and acts were
easy to get to, clear
sound.”
Latitude
Headliners this year are
George Ezra, Snow Pat-
Action At
Reading Fes-
tival 2018
rol and Lana
Del Ray plus
many more in-
die artists.
Latitude is per-
haps a ‘calmer’
festival with
family areas
and fun work-
shops so this
festival is ideal
for families,
first-time festi-
val go-ers and
of course for
music lovers.
Top tips:
To camp in a
quieter area, ask
gate staff on ar-
rival and they’ll
point you in the
right direction.
BBQs are al-
lowed but recy-
cle at one of the
recycling sta-
tions in the site.
Reviews

Latitude as a family.

choice for food,
plenty of gluten free
