This is the Coolcampervans guide to the best Music Festivals in 2010
You will see our Campervans and Motorhomes at the various music festivals
this year and you may even meet Suzanne and I who are regular music festival
goers.
Our favourite is Glastonbury because of the wide range of music and arts.
Glastonbury is the daddy of all music festivals and we love it!
Please book your campervan early to avoid disappointment as for some festivals
we book one year in advance.
Big
Chill
If the word festival conjures up images of muddy wellies, soggy burgers,
tattooed teens and chemical toilets, then the Big Chill events may persuade
you to think otherwise.
More of a three day holiday than a festival, this is a festival with a
difference. Both quiet and family camping is available on site, with a
clean covered dining & cooking area, but quality edibles will also
be available for those too chilled to cook!
Glastonbury Festival
Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts
Glastonbury is the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival
in the world set in 900 acres of the Vale of Avalon, an area steeped in
symbolism, mythology and religious traditions dating back many hundreds
of years. The modern day festival has also etched its way into rock history
since it started in 1970, and acts as a benchmark by which all other festivals
are compared. None will ever match it in terms of its unique atmosphere,
which eclipses the actual music. As well as being one of the most spectacular
events on earth Glastonbury Festival retains its ethos as a positive force
for change locally and internationally; each year that the Festival trades
at a profit major donations are made to a variety of good causes.
Isle of Wight Festival
Historically the Biggest UK Festival EVER!
After an absence of 32 years, the Isle of Wight Festival returned in 2002.
History dictates that over half a million came in 1970, making it the
biggest UK Festival ever - not even Live Aid, Knebworth, Glastonbury or
Reading achieve those numbers. The IoW Festival now packages together
and brands as many musical events, in as many different venues, under
the one Festival umbrella to create a complete attraction to music lovers
across the UK - from beach parties to jazz, jamming sessions to lectures,
rock concerts to inter-band football matches...
Leeds
Festival
Reading's Northern Sister!
The Carling Weekend
Leeds Festival was born in 1999, allowing festival-goers in the North
of England to enjoy the stunning and often exclusive line-ups that its
older brother Reading secured. Both festivals make up The Carling Weekend,
the UK's only simultaneously occurring 3 day festival, with the line-ups
rotating between the two sites. In contrast to the more urban setting
of Reading, Leeds takes place in the smaller, but far more picturesque
setting of Bramham Park (10 miles outside the city), having moved from
its original venue (Temple Newsham Park) in 2003.
Radio 1 One Big Weekend
Tickets might be free, but because of that they are sure to go fast -
so make sure you are first in the queue
Radio 1 play host to a free festival weekend of indie, rock and dance.
Solfest
Get Celtic in the country!
Nestled between the mountains in the picturesque setting of West Cumbria,
Solfest is a Celtic, world and roots three-day event, featuring a range
of musical, cultural, and eye-opening experiences.
T in the Park
Scotland's legendary super-fest
From its beginnings at Strathclyde Country Park in 1994, T in the Park
has grown in size and influence to become one of the most important and
critically acclaimed music events on the UK and European festival scenes,
and is firmly established as Scotland's most popular weekend out. The
festival is now situated in the lush Scottish countryside of Balado, near
Kinross. This popularity can be attributed to the festivals unique party
atmosphere, and also to the fact that it has one of Europe's most exciting
line-ups with over 120 bands and artists playing nine stages, from the
finest unsigned talent to world-wide stars.
T4
on the Beach
Oh I do like to be beside the sea side, oh I do like to be beside the
sea!
Channel 4's summer music event, T4 on the beach takes place this year
in sunny old Weston-super-Mare, which will feature exclusive performances
from some of the best current bands around. A day of great live music,
plenty of ice cream and hopefully lots of sunshine should ensure a day
well spent, so join the T4 presenters at the sea side to see your favourite
bands play your favourite summer tunes!
V Festival
The Original Stereo Super-fest!
It slices, it dices and it'll even get you high if you let it. Welcome
to the phenomenon that is the 'V' Festival. Like all Virgin products,
cynics will whinge that it's just not the real thing, but the converted
will rejoice in its modern approach, and that certainly includes us. Most
festivals revel in their ideologies, and V's is simply that a bit of corporate
sponsorship is a small price to pay for a secure, mud-free site with low
queuing times and premier league artists. V is also the UK's first and
only dual two-day site, occurring simultaneously in Chelmsford and Staffordshire,
with the line-ups rotating each day.
