It’s feeling a lot colder than it was yesterday, isn’t it? Between the festivities, the New Year and the snowfall, plenty of music fans are already keen to get back out onto the fields, get a drink in their hands, and listen to some live music.
And, thankfully, Great Britain is one of the most festival-filled countries in the world. So, as host of some of the world’s biggest and best-loved events, it’ll prove to be the right place for music fans this year.
But, combing through the many festivals may be daunting. As a result, we’ve collated our five favourite festivals below, along with ticket links for those who just need to be pointed in the correct direction.
And, considering getting a Glastonbury Festival ticket is nigh-on impossible, these festivals give fans a better chance of attending.
We’ve also included some resale links for fans who want to ensure they have their perfect pick as soon as possible. Here’s the information you need:
Don’t miss…
Sites such as viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee.”
