Top UK music festivals this summer

What better way to spend a summer weekend than listening to music with thousands of like-minded people? Even better, you don’t have to brave mud, camping or pouring rain at night either. Rent one of our fabulous holiday cottages nearby and get the best of both worlds!

Here are five of the top music festivals you can enjoy during summer 2014. Each has a range of our quality holiday cottages within easy reach.

Isle of Wight Festival – June 12th to 15th

The Isle of Wight Festival is what kicks off the summer of music every year and 2014 is no different. With headliners such as Calvin Harris, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kings of Leon, there’s a lot to love about this weekend.

The Isle of Wight is lovely too, so if you can combine the festival with a longer holiday, it’s even better.

Download Festival – June 13th to 15th

The Download Festival at Donington Park near Derby is another amazing music festival. If you like your music live and loud, this is the one for you. With Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park and Aerosmith headlining, it’s set to be a good one this year!

We have dozens of holiday cottages within easy reach of Donington, so accommodation is sorted too!

Glastonbury Festival – June 25th to 29th

Glastonbury Festival is the daddy of all music festivals in Britain and this year is no different.  Headliners are Arcade Fire on Friday, Metallica on the Saturday, and Kasabian on Sunday. Other acts include Blondie, Disclosure, Dolly Parton, Elbow, Jack White, James Blake, Lana Del Rey and Lily Allen.

The Glastonbury Festival is set in lovely Somerset surroundings making it an ideal spot for a longer holiday before or after the festival too. Check out our holiday cottage listings to find a property nearby.

Wireless Festival – July 4th to 6th

Wireless Festival is held in Finsbury Park in central London and Birmingham. Each usually has a great lineup, with 2014 being no different. Headliners include Kanye West, Drake and Bruno Mars.

Scotland is a fantastic place to visit for any reason and a music festival is one of the best reasons.
