More good news for festivals is that the COVID-19 vaccine is being rolled out across the UK. Organizers hope that the vaccine, rapid testing and the reduced risk of infection outdoors will mean that festivals can go head this summer. You will of course need to pack twice the amount of hand sanitizer, plenty of wet wipes and your best designer face masks.
• Major UK festivals such as Parklife, Boomtown and Eastern Electrics will happen in late August and September.
• London festivals that have been announced for September include the Mighty Hoopla, Cross The Tracks and Hospitality In The Woods.
• The organizers behind Newsam Park and Mint Festival are adamant the events will happen this summer (July and September respectively).
• Headroom in Wales will happen at the end of July.
