Get excited about... Autumn and winter festivals: where to go now the wellies are away
The traditional summer festival season ends with Bestival next weekend, but there’s still so much left to come
You’re all surely exhausted by now, right? Festival line-ups this summer have been utterly superb, from Kanye trumping every single doubter at Glastonbury to Kendrick ending the season with world-beating shows at Reading and Leeds, and the three weeks spent in a cramped tent from June to August because of these line-ups mean this rest as autumn approaches is truly deserved. If your appetite for festivals hasn’t quite been satisfied by everything that’s happened up until now though, there’s a hell of a lot more to come before the end of 2015.
The words ‘festival season’ tend to mean something that ends in early September to British music fans. When Reading, Leeds and Bestival are done, the wellies and tents are indeed packed away, but off-season all-dayers and weekenders are growing in stature and becoming a more than satisfactory fix for festival-goers in the colder months, complete with no mud and a roof. Here’s six left to come in 2015 that we’re excited about.
