Wait, what? It's August already? Time has a funny way of flying when you're deep in festival season, but we're not complaining. As we enter the final stretch of summer 2024, we're thrilled to announce our packed August schedule. From mountain bike trails to mystical islands, this month truly has something for every festival lover.
Where you'll find us this August
Boomtown Fair
The ultimate immersive experience awaits at Boomtown, where reality bends and creativity knows no bounds. This isn't just a music festival – it's a fully-realised alternate universe complete with themed districts, theatrical performances, and storylines that unfold across the entire weekend. Whether you're exploring the Wild West district or getting lost in the steampunk wonderland, Boomtown delivers an experience unlike any other.
Lindisfarne Festival
Set on the magical Holy Island of Lindisfarne, this festival combines stunning coastal scenery with an incredible music lineup. Accessible only at low tide via a causeway, Lindisfarne offers a truly unique festival experience where ancient history meets modern music. The island's mystical atmosphere and breathtaking views create an unforgettable backdrop for a weekend of great tunes and good vibes.
Cannondale Malverns Classic
Mountain biking enthusiasts, this one's for you! Cannondale Malverns Classic brings together the UK's best riders for an adrenaline-fueled weekend in the beautiful Malvern Hills. From challenging trail routes to demo zones where you can test the latest gear, it's a celebration of everything that makes mountain biking amazing. The festival atmosphere combined with world-class riding makes this a must-visit for anyone who loves two wheels and dirt.
Isle of Wight Scooter Rally
Mod culture comes alive at the Isle of Wight Scooter Rally, where vintage Vespas and Lambrettas take center stage. This isn't just about the bikes – it's about the lifestyle, the music, and the community that surrounds scooter culture. Expect classic soul and ska sounds, pristine vintage rides and the kind of camaraderie that makes the scooter scene so special.
Firevolt
Bringing electric energy and cutting-edge sounds, Firevolt is where the future of festival culture gets plugged in. This high-voltage event showcases the best in electronic music while creating an atmosphere that's both futuristic and utterly engaging. It's the perfect way to charge up your festival batteries before the season winds down.
Why we love festival season
Each of these events represents something different – the theatrical magic of Boomtown, the natural beauty of Lindisfarne, the adrenaline rush of Cannondale Malverns, the vintage charm of the Scooter Rally, and the electric atmosphere of Firevolt. Together, they showcase the incredible diversity that makes the UK festival scene so special.
