England. Scotland. Wales. Northern Ireland.
Each with its own distinct history, culture, and vibe, but together make up the great United Kingdom. And what’s the United Kingdom got in spades? Besides tea, castles, black cabs, and rainy days?
Epic music festivals! And a TON of them. From hip-hop to funk, dance to pop, rock to folk, and everything in between, you’ll be hard-pressed not to find a music festival a stone’s throw from. It seems to be festival season all year. Many of the best UK festivals 2025 has to offer also feature on my list of the top music festivals in Europe.

But a year later, it returned triumphantly on a new site, headlined by The Libertines, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and Jamiroquai.
