The 2022 festivals you can still get tickets for in the UK
The UK festival scene is back and there’s still time to witness the action
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There’s something truly hedonistic about watching your favourite band perform in a field to thousands of people while you’re covered in glitter, mud and some kind of cider or beer.
As many events were cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 due to COVID, this year’s festival line-ups are better than ever as artists have missed performing just as much as we’ve been dreaming about getting back to the mosh pit.
While tickets for the biggest events such as Glastonbury sold out within minutes, there’s still time to book tickets for a live music event or two that will be one of the highlights of your summer.
And if you’re not fussed about camping, many events still have day passes remaining so you can catch the action and then check into a hotel.
