According to a survey by UK Music, UK music festivals attracted 7.7 million visits from overseas and domestic tourists and had a total spend of £1.4 billion in 2009. What's more, overseas music tourists spend nearly 25% more than the average tourist to the UK. From the huge, multi-day events like Glastonbury to one-day local festivals, you could visit several venues every day during the summer months and still not get to them all.
The summer music festival has become a tradition ever since Woodstock changed the way that people experienced music forever. Whether you are into heavy metal or jazz, rap or international sounds, there is a music festival just for your kind of music.
Have you ever heard of the top 8 UK musical festivals? They are Glastonbury, V Festival(a two-day event in August), Glade(the major electronic, techno dance festival in the UK), Isle of Wight Festival, Reading, T in the Park, Download, which is the premier UK heavy metal festival and is hold at Donington Park in early June, and the Glastonbudget, a family-friendly budget music festival showcasing tribute and new acts which began in 2005.
Among there eight UK musical festivals, I want to talk more about the Reading Festival and T in the Park. The Cure and Foo Fighters are popular acts at Reading Festival, which runs for 3 days in August. While, T in the Park was hold in three days in July at Balado, Kinross-shire start with a themed Fancy Dress Friday, to get people in the mood.
Before attending for a music festival, you should make a good preparation. Like on any camping trip, you need some essential items so you don't end up in a nightmare scenario. Although there are floodlit stages and hastily-constructed shanty-towns, it's important to remember that you are essentially spending the weekend in a field, unless you want to find yourself with diarrhoea in a hellish portable toilet which has no toilet roll. The most basic thing you need for a music festival is your camping gear, including camping tents, warm sleeping bag, ground sheet and others. Of course, you can lack the Medical kit, sun cream, torch, toilet poll, etc.
Moreover, in order to assure you to enjoy your experience and survive a music festival, here are five piece of tips for YOU.
1. Attend with a friend. It will not only be more fun than going alone, but it helps keep both of you safe.
2. Travel lightly to avoid valuable gets lost or stolen at a music festival, even in your pop up tents.
3. Locate safety stations, for instance, police stations, or first aid stations, which it helps keep the information fresh in your mind should you need to get help quickly.
4. Wear ear plug to protect your hearing. Hearing damage caused by loud noise like live music is irreversible.
5. Hydrate yourself. Drink lots of water throughout the day and eat at regular intervals as well. As summer music festivals mean days of hanging out in the sun amidst crowds of sweaty fellow music lovers.
