5 Festivals That You Should Definately Go To Before You Die Right On Your Doorsetp

Music festivals have been a staple of the UK music scene since the late 1960s and began to flourish in the 1970s. Today the festival experience is a big part of summer in the UK for fans of music of all types to gather and enjoy entertainment from diverse artists. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman starred in a movie called "The Bucket List." It was about making a list of things to do before you die. In the same vain, here is a list of five music festivals you should go to before you die. 1. Wireless Festival - This festival takes place at Hyde Park in London, usually in June. Live Nation runs this festival that attracts big names each year. Some of these include The Strokes, David Gray, James Blunt, Pink and Jay Z. The Black Eyed Peas and the Chemical Brothers are among acts confirmed for 2011. 2. V Festival - This festival is held on the next to the last weekend of August simultaneously at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park in Staffordshire. The same artists play both locations, playing once on Saturday and again at the other site on Sunday. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of the band Pulp, came up with the idea in 1996 when he thought it would be fun to play two outdoor events in one weekend. 3. Reading and Leeds Festivals - This is a pair of music festivals taking place in Reading and Leeds in the United Kingdom. Events take place simultaneously from Friday through Sunday during the bank holiday in August. Campsites are available at each location, but there are also day tickets for those who do not want the camping experience. Many festivals include camping, it is something festival-goers should enjoy at least once. Generally most festival crowds are friendly. More than 150,000 people come to each location annually. 4. The Big Chill - This festival has been held since 1994 and takes place at historic Eastnor Castle in Ledbury, Herefordshire, England. The festival got its start as a series of parties before officially being organized into a festival. The festival attracts many of Europe's top DJs and live acts including M.I.A., Lol Hammond and the Parrish. The castle grounds are an ideal setting offering an amazing view and plenty of space to enjoy the energetic live performances. 5. Isle of Wight Festival - The Foulk brothers created the original incarnation of this festival in 1968. It was revived in 2002 and has taken place at Seaclose Park in Isle of Wight, UK every year since.
