Summer is always jam packed with music festivals, and while Glastonbury may have been and gone music buffs won’t be disappointed by this month’s festival offering. Below are some of the best.
Wilderness (August 7 – 10) – Conbury Park, Oxfordshire
This multi-award winning festival offers an extensive programme of events covering anything from live music and theatre to banquets and lively debates. Crooners including famed American singer-songwriter Burt Bacharach will help to keep crowds entertained while the Lakeside spa complete with wood-fired hot tubs and sauna will help to revive spirits after a late night.

V Festival (August 16 – 18) – Weston Park, Staffordshire & Hylands Park, Chelmsford
A firm fixture in the musical festival calendar V continues to impress with its musical line up year after year. In 2014 revellers can look forward to musical acts including The Killers, Justin Timberlake, The Manic Street Preachers and so much more. The lucky winner of V’s onsite competition will also get to enjoy the festival like a celeb, with the impressive prize package including Helicopter transfer one way to V Festival and 3 night’s accommodation in the V Style Luxury Campsite.

Reading Festival (August 22– 24) - Richfield Avenue, Reading
With a line up that includes acts such Paramore, The Artic Monkeys and Annie Mac alongside lesser known acts such as Cage the Elephant and Drenge, it’s not hard to see why Reading bills itself as the ‘The BEST festival for music lovers’.

South West Four (August 23 –24) – Clapham Common
Showcasing the best in electronic and dance music South West Four attracts a party hard crowd from all corners of London and beyond. Wowing the crowds this year include legendary DJs such as Pete Tong, Sasha and John Digweed. As the festival is over the bank holiday weekend you won’t have any excuse not to put on your best dayglo gear and party until the sun comes up.
