We’ve Got The Festival Line Ups For 2023 That You Won’t Want To Miss

Searching for that event that will make your Summer this year? Look no further. We’ve compiled a list of the very best festivals both in the UK and abroad that have already dropped insane line-ups. Have a look at what tickles your fancy but be quick – these tickets won’t last forever!

Reading & Leeds

Alongside Glasto, Reading & Leeds is the first festival that springs to mind when you think of the quintessential British festival. And there’s good reason for that. Year after year the festival has been delivering the best music acts, crowd, food, and atmosphere guaranteeing you a riotously good memorable weekend. This year is destined to be no different with ‘Bad Habits’ singer Steve Lacy, Grammy-nominated indie band Wet Leg, princess of alt-pop Billie Eilish, and Britain’s biggest rapper Central Cee among those taking the stage.

All Points East

Victoria Park in London will house the fifth All Points East Festival this Summer. Despite being fairly new this festival has already staged some of the biggest names in music including Lorde, St Vincent, Little Simz, Christine and the Queens, Jorja Smith, Gorillaz, and Tame Impala. So far only the headliner Stormzy has been announced on the 18th August but he alone is enough to make us itch to join the fun. More amazing artists are to be revealed for the date soon according to All Points East’s Instagram account.

If indie rock is your jam, then the line-up on the 25th August will be the one for you. With The Strokes, Girl in Red, Angel Olsen, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs playing and with more acts yet to be revealed there’s plenty of good music to soak up.

All Points East will also be hosting Field Day Festival on the 19th August which boasts some of the best innovative artists working in electronica and EDM today. Aphex Twin will be headlining, performing for the first time since 2019 in a triumphant return. He’ll be joined by R&B singer Kelela, the eccentric Fever Ray, and It-girl Sudan Archives.

Coachella

To be in the sunny California desert sipping a margarita whilst watching our favourite musicians live would be dreamy right now. Coachella is the exemplar luxury festival with gourmet food, soft grass, influencers cooling off under palm trees, and of course not a drop of mud in sight darling. This year’s line-up is as stellar as always with Bad Bunny, Gorillaz, Charlie XCX, Frank Ocean, and Kali Uchis performing – and that’s just to name a few! If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket, make sure you bring plenty of sun cream because it’s not just that artists that are scorching hot out there.

Boomtown

Boomtown is the trippy festival that transports its citizens to another reality each year with creative scenery, dedicated actors, and of course other-worldly music acts. After having to take a couple of years off due to Covid-19 the ‘chapters’ for the festival have reset making the theme this year Chapter Two: The Twin Trail, which follows on from last year’s theme Chapter One: The Gathering. Although the line-up has yet to be announced we know it will include some of the best artists in electro, house, DnB, hip hop, and jungle. On their website Boomtown announced they “made the decision to keep most of the line up a secret until just before the festival” – the wait is tantalising! Last year included such gems as the Nova Twins, De La Soul, Four Tet, and Shy FX. If you’re a raver at heart this fest is for you.

Primavera Sound

You’ll want to book flights for Spain or Portugal as soon as you see the line-up for this year’s Primavera Sound. The festival is taking place in three different locations this year with slight tweaks in each fest but is still jam-packed with the best artists on the scene. With the line-ups featuring such greats as Halsey, Kendrick Lamar, Christine and the Queens, Georgia, Japanese Breakfast, Calvin Harris, Rosalía, FKA Twigs, Arlo Park, Caroline Polachek, Yves Tumor , Alex G, PinkPantheress, and Alvvays, we’re not surprised this one of the most-attended festivals in Europe.

Mad Cool Fest

The Spanish music festival Mad Cool held in Madrid has released a star-studded line-up full of pop, rap, and DJ artists you’ll be desperate to see this Summer featuring ‘About Damn Time’ singer Lizzo, our favourite stylish cowboy Lil Nas X, the super chic Rina Sawayama, and the iconic DJ The Blessed Madonna. The festival also promises heat, yummy Spanish cuisine, and one hell of a party.

 British Summer Time Festival Hyde Park

British Summer Time Festival is a legendary event started back in 2013 that is held over multiple weekends. In the past, the festival has seen some iconic headliners such as Kylie Minogue, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and Florence + The Machine. Now K-Pop fans will be overjoyed to hear that BLACKPINK have been announced as one of the headliners for this year’s British Summer Time Festival held at the beautiful Hyde Park in London. The performance will be their UK festival debut and they’re sure to bring their A-game. Support acts for the festival have yet to be announced so keep an eye out for more killer acts. Tickets are on sale now.

Superstar P!nk will also be headlining British Summer Time over two dates due to popular demand! Supporting the bubble gum princess will be fellow pop songstress Gwen Stefani. With tickets already sold out for the Saturday make sure you snatch up your tickets for the following day.

With more headliners to be announced soon British Summer Time has something for everyone.

Dates: BLACKPINK will headline on 2nd July. P!nk will headline on 24th June & 25th June.

Boardmasters

Those who have been to Boardmasters before know it’s a truly unique experience attending a music festival by the sea. The festival takes place on the beautiful Cornish coastline with the opportunity to explore the surfing bars and shops, watch the sunset on the beach, or even take surfing lessons yourself. Although the full list of artists is yet to be confirmed with Little Simz and Florence + the Machine there this year will be a vibe.

Parklife

We are beyond hyped for Parklife this year. The Manchester festival dropped their line-up on the 1st February with a host of incredible artists such as modern hip hop royalty Little Simz, house hero Fred Again…, the queen of jungle Nia Archives, the contemporary girl group FLO and the captivating Shygirl. Tickets will be on sale Friday 3rd February – hurry they’re bound to be swooped up with this mad and very tasty bill.

TRNSMT

Glaswegians won’t have to travel very far to hear some great live acts with TRNSMT just around the corner. This year the festival, which takes places on Glasgow Green, will host a myriad of amazing artists over the weekend including FLO, Cat Burns, Mimi Webb, The 1975, and Becky Hill. TRNSMT first started in 2017. After receiving criticism in 2019 that only 20% of the line up were female the festival opened the ‘Queen Tut’s’ stage hosting female only musicans. The line-up looks a pretty even split this year with some of our favourite female acts on the bill. See you in Scotland.

Wide Awake

Wide Awake is an independent festival for those looking to discover their newest favourite act. The festival, which takes place in Brockwell Park, London, will host some of the most exciting new acts in indie, electronica, techno featuring Caroline Polachek, Shygirl, Two Shell, CouCou Chloe, Molchat Doma, and Alex G. Starting in 2021, the festival has been praised by attendees as a jubilant and joyful event celebrating the best new acts on the scene.

Wireless

Wireless has announced the first acts in their 2023 line up and already it looks like it will be the best weekend of the summer. On 25th January, the Wireless team took to social media to announce that ‘Magnolia’ rapper Playboi Carti, pop culture legend Travis Scott, hip hop collective D-Block Europe would be headlining, and Grammy-winning rapper 50 Cent will appear as a special guest. The cheeky Lil Uzi Vert, exciting newcomer Ice Spice, British rapper Headie One, R&B singer Bryson Tiller, the badass from Brooklyn Joey Bada$$, the hottest new girl group FLO, and Jamaican singer Popcaan will be performing, and the baddie GloRilla will be making her UK festival debut. With more names on their way and such a stellar line-up already, we’ll be dancing all weekend.
