As the summer sun slowly sets, we can't help but reminisce about the unforgettable Glastonbury festival that has just passed. The memories of that epic weekend are slowly fading, along with the sun-kissed tans and lingering hangovers of its attendees. For five days, music lovers from all over the world gathered at Worthy Farm to revel in the performances of Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. But fear not, the festival season is far from over, with a few more months of summer still ahead of us.
There are still plenty of festivals for music fans to get their fix, ranging from the big names like Reading and Leeds, to the heavy metal extravaganza of Bloodstock, and even a performance by the iconic Kylie Minogue in the park. Not a fan of music? No problem. Head over to Leicester Square for a thrilling bank holiday weekend filled with horror films and world premieres that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
