It is well known that British music festivals are renowned the world over for their ability to attract the coolest acts around.
Brothers Cider, as you know, is intrinsically linked with one of the best camping festivals in the UK – Glastonbury, which is usually held in June each year. The 2023 lineup includes headliners, Artic Monkeys, Guns & Roses & Elton John and acts such as Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and Texas to name but a few.
If you are planning on going to Glastonbury Festival 2023, make sure you take some time to come and say hello and enjoy a refreshing hit of our famous fruit cider at the B-Bar, located in our usual place by The West Holts Stage.
But let's not forget some of the other amazing camping festival experiences that go on around the UK.
Isle of Wight Festival
The Isle of Wight Festival 2023 lineup features some big names including Pulp, George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers, Robbie Williams, Blondie, Nial Horan, James Bay and Courteneners. The festival began in 1968 and was one of the UK's first outdoor music festivals and is still going strong 50 years on.
Boardmasters Festival
The Boardmasters Festival is held in Cornwall during August and mixes the best surf boarders and skaters in the world to thumping soundtracks from the likes of Gorillaz, Foals, Jorja Smith, Sam Fender, Loyle Carner, Jamie xx, Lianne La Havas and Blossoms.
Reading & Leeds Festivals
The Reading and Leeds Festival is usually a sell-out event held in August each year so booking early is advised. The festival is a fantastic platform for both rising and already established indie bands, metal, dance and alternative pop acts.
You can expect to see headliners here such as Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, Imagine Dragons, Lewis Capaldi, The Killers and Foals.
Download Festival
Download Festival is a rock festival held annually in June at Donington Park in Derbyshire. Since taking over from the Monsters of Rock annual outdoor festival, Download has become one of the most popular camping rock music festivals in the world.
The Download Festival features some of the biggest rock names, including Metallica, Slipknot, Placebo, Alter Bridge, Bring Me The Horizon and more.
