BEST MUSIC FESTIVALS

And just like that, we’re into festival season again. The 2023 calendar is looking nicely packed, with the return of big guns like Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Wilderness and Latitude, and even bigger headliners – we’re talking Elton John, Arctic Monkeys, The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and more. The London line-up is extremely strong this year, with stalwarts like All Points East, Field Day, GALA and Mighty Hoopla returning for 2023 and bringing the likes of Stormzy, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jayda G, Aphex Twin, Kelela, Kerri Chandler, Overmono, Years & Years, Roisin Murphy and Kelly Rowland with them. There are some newbies joining the London line-up this year too, including Project 6, which’ll be taking over a host of clubs after the day event in Brockwell Park; and RALLY, a community-focused fest in Southwark Park.

From the best one-day festivals in London to multi-day camping festivals in the UK, these are the best music festivals of 2023.
