The Best UK Festivals This Summer

By Caitlin Taylor

The suns officially back out so it’s time to grab your tickets to the best music the UK has to offer this Summer season. 

East London Block Party, London

Saturday, 25th July

It’s the fourth edition of this Shoreditch festival where you’ll discover some of the best emerging artists in the UK right now. Taking place across 4 East London institutions, you’ll be guaranteed both a great night and bragging rights after being the first to see the music everyone will be obsessed with in the next few years.

Jazz Cafe Festival, London

Sunday, 2nd August

One of the five festivals taking over Burgess Park this year, our favourite is Jazz Cafe’s dreamy Sunday lineup. With a carefully curated mix of  singers and DJs, it’ll be all you want to talk about at work the next day. 

RALLY, London

Saturday, 29th August

We’ve been at RALLY the last two years, and each time we’ve loved it. This year even boasts Blood Orange as a co-curator and headliner. We’ll be counting down the days, reminiscing about the Agnes stage and pints of Guinness in the Skehans tent.

Green Man Festival, Wales

20th-23rd August

Famous for its great programming and even better vibes, the 2026 edition of Green Man is filled some of the most exciting names in folk, alt, indie and electronic music. This years Saturday lineup is particularly impressive, pulling names like Four Tet, Sorry, Daniel Avery, Mannequin Pussy, and Big Long Sun. 

All Points East, London

21st-30th August

We’ve already done a deep dive into why you should go to All Points East this year but to reiterate, 2026’s lineup is packed full of diverse artists who are the best in the game. Featuring Tyler, The Creator, Jorja Smith, Deftones, Lorde, and many more, there’s something for everyone here.
