Start planning your summer
The UK summer may not always play ball, as anyone who’s woken up inside a damp tent in a muddy Glastonbury field can attest to, but our festival programme always delivers. If you don’t fancy the schlep out of town with your wellies, your sleeping bag and your sanity to the likes of Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Latitude and Wilderness, there’s plenty of festivals – and plenty of big name headliners – pitching up in the capital in the spring and summer.
Stalwarts like All Points East, Field Day and Mighty Hoopla are all returning this year and are bringing the likes of Lorde, Tyler the Creator, CMAT, Little Simz, and Maribou State with them, and LIDO is also coming back after a successful first edition last year. There’s still plenty of festival news to come too, so whatever genre you’re into and whichever artists you like, you’ll find plenty to dance to at the best London music festivals in 2026.
