Music Festivals

Welcome to The Riff Report Music Festivals โ€“ your home for muddy fields, massive stages, unforgettable weekends and more riffs than any sensible person could possibly need. ๐ŸŽช๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿค˜

From enormous international festivals to independent grassroots events, we'll cover the festivals keeping rock, metal and alternative music thriving.

Expect festival announcements, line-ups, stage splits, ticket information, guides, reviews, photography, travel advice and survival tips, helping you plan your next adventure from the first announcement to the final encore.

We'll celebrate huge headline performances while making plenty of noise about the smaller stages where tomorrow's favourite bands are waiting to be discovered.

Grassroots festivals matter, and supporting independent events helps keep the entire live music ecosystem alive.

Being proudly Welsh, we'll put plenty of focus on music festivals across Cymru, alongside events throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. ๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŽช

Pack the tent. Grab the battle jacket. Check the weather forecast.

Then ignore it completely. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bands. Fields. Festivals. Riffs. Memories.
