The U. K\u2019s festival scene is expected to make a spectacular return this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young festival goers are excited for a summer of music, mosh pits and boozy nights with no restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival experience has been substantially disrupted in recent years due to the discovery of new strains of the covid 19 virus, which has resulted in restrictions being loosened and then reimposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As limitations are lifted and life returns to normalcy, some of the largest events have confirmed their schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glastonbury, the largest of them all, has been confirmed to take place in 2022. Glastonbury festival tickets sold out in just over 20 minutes, and hundreds of angry social media followers took to Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming summer is shaping up to be an extravaganza, so here’s a list of some of the biggest festivals, how to get there, costs, and top performers to help you prepare ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
