3. Big Smoke Festival
Dates: 9–10 August
Location: Crystal Palace Bowl, London
Tickets from: £100.80 (weekend)
Skepta’s new two-day event is a must for fans of UK rap, grime, and club culture.
He leads the lineup all weekend, as well as live sets from the likes of Central Cee, JME and Frisco on Saturday, and a DJ takeover, featuring tracks from his Más Tiempo label, on Sunday.
4. Creamfields
Dates: 21–24 August
Location: Daresbury, Cheshire
Tickets from: £137.50 (day) & £310 (weekend)
Since 1998, Creamfields has been the home of UK dance music.
This year David Guetta, Chase & Status and Swedish House Mafia, headline a weekend of dance, bass and (hopefully) blue skies.
*PLUS new ‘downtown’ and wellness areas now offer inflatable sports games, hot showers and saunas, so there’s more than just raving on offer - although you’ll get plenty of that too.
5. Reading & Leeds
Dates: 22–24 August
Location: Reading / Leeds
Tickets from: £125 (day) & £325 (weekend)
If you missed her at Primavera, fear not - Chappell Roan is bringing her "Pink Pony Club" energy to the UK this August.
She’s one of the standout names on a stacked Reading & Leeds line-up, performing alongside the likes of Hozier, Travis Scott, AJ Tracey, Becky Hill, Lola Young and more.
The festival runs simultaneously across both locations over the bank holiday weekend, with artists rotating between the sites.
And while the music will be loud, the weather might be louder - last year’s edition saw stage closures and tents flying during Storm Lilian, so come prepared.

BONUS Festival Survival Checklist:
Whether you’re heading for a field in Reading or a city park in Glasgow, pack smart:
🎟 Tickets (obviously)
🧢 Suncream & hat - better to be safe than sorry
🕶 Cheap sunnies - so you don’t get upset if you lose them
👟 Comfy shoes - you’ll be on your feet for hours so try and make it as least painful as possible
💊 Myrkl - Get it here - take it before you start drinking and wake up refreshed (ideal if you're not ready to waste £15 on a pint and then miss half the line-up in bed)
🥤 Reusable water bottle - most festivals have refill stations now (so save your money)
🧻 Tissues / toilet roll - just trust us
🧥 Layers - evenings get cold, even in August
🧼 Portable chargers - your battery will run out faster than you think
🍬 Snacks - avoid items that melt or need to be stored in a fridge
Like what you see?
There’s still time to make your summer one to remember - just don’t leave your ticket, tent pegs or Myrkl at home.
