We're taking a break from festivals in 2013, but we'll be back soon with a new set of festival reviews for you next year...

Over the past few years, the festival seen has exploded, and trying to decide which one to get your hard earned cash out for a ticket is not always easy. We've been going to festivals for some time now and through our reviews we're hoping to give you the low-down on what they're really like, and bypass the usual press favourites and focus on the sort of acts you really want to hear about...

Just choose from the menu on the left for links to our illustrated reviews

or see below for links to articles published on other web-sites...

Again this year, you'll be able to read most of the events we review via the already well established Virtual Festivals web-site

...but there'll still be some exclusives you won't see there

If you missed our views on the festivals we attended last year, and want to find out what you can expect, you can read all our reviews here

Virtual Festivals is the biggest dedicated festival web-site, and sponsors of the UK Festival Awards.
