Any seasoned festival goer will already have secured their tickets for this year’s hottest festivals. From the slickest Afrobeats by Chronixx and Koffee at City Splash on 29th May, to throwback anthems by Kelis and Shola Ama at Mighty Hoopla on 3rd June, London’s 2023 festival lineup is set to dominate the global stage – and you’d be sorry to miss it. But it’s not just about the capital; we’re also hyped for Aitch and Little Simz at Parklife in Manchester, Lizzo at Glastonbury in Somerset and Craig David at Camp Bestival in Shropshire.

Serially disorganised? You’ve still got a chance of seeing your favourite artists on stage. If you’re yet to nab a spot at Glasto and the likes, try TicketSwap or Skiddle for last-minute spots. You might even luck out with a discount!

Whether you’re new to festival life and you’re wondering what to pack, or you’re a festival veteran looking to streamline your backpack, we’ve put together a guide to help you stay safe, improve your sustainability and have plenty of fun this summer.
