While Glastonbury is taking a well-earned rest in 2026 (its fallow years are roughly every five years), there are plenty of other festivals this summer that are well worth the short hop over the Irish Sea.
From metal riffs in the midlands to folk festivals on windswept Scottish Islands, almost every genre is celebrated and good times are promised all round.
