List of UK Music Festivals Remaining

What do we mean by 'music festival'?

A music festival means a single event offering a series of music performances or music and other entertainments which is marketed as a festival. It may be held at a predominantly outdoor site using temporary infrastructure which is

(i) erected for the purposes of that festival (including as a minimum all of the following: the construction of infrastructure relating to performance areas, the presence of temporary perimeter fencing or controlled access by other temporary means and the provision of toilet facilities and a clean water supply),

(ii) used mainly for the purposes of that festival, and

(iii) substantially dismantled after the festival

or it may be held across more than one indoor fixed venue (ie a ‘multi-venue’ festival).

A Qualifying Festival may take place over a single day or over consecutive days (but no more than ten in any calendar year) with at least twenty unique music performances in the official line up (or at least ten if the event is held over no more one day).

A charge is usually, but not always, made for admission which allows entry to any performance areas holding performances of artists listed in the official line up. There may also be some elements of separated charging.
