The 2020 festival season was wiped out by the emergence of a global pandemic. With thousands of people now being vaccinated each day and local lockdowns coming to an end, life is slowly creeping back to a form of normality.
With events now taking place, festivals are being considered in order to ensure the 2021 season can go ahead. Here is your guide to finding the best events this summers that cater to your specific music taste.
Virtual Events
Although some events have been given the go-ahead this year, some organisations like BBC Radio 1, have decided to record their virtual festival in replacement of their usual “Big Weekend”. With over 50 performances ranging from rock bands to pop singers, this could be a great opportunity for you to get your festival fix if you are still not feeling comfortable to step back into the festival world just yet.
Heavy Metal
If you love to immerse yourself into the sounds of heavy metal, then you’re in luck. There are a decent number of heavy metal festivals taking place this year across the globe. You may find that a lot of festivals have had to re-vamp their line ups to accommodate for the fact that some bands from over-sees will no longer be able to make it. In most instances, an artist or a band would have been replaced by someone else so there are no fears that you are getting less performances for your ticket price.
Techno Music Events
The rise of techno and house music has taken over, with the popularity of these two genres growing by the minute. To find the best Tech House music events in 2021 you won’t have to look far with sites like Blanc having all the information you need to make sure you don’t miss out on the hottest upcoming events.
Dance Festivals
One of the things many people have missed about festival culture is the freedom to dance until your hearts content to live music. This year, dance festivals like Creamfields are making a comeback. Tickets to the festival sold out in record time back in February so if you didn’t get your hands on one then, you may struggle. However, there are lots more dance festivals happening in and around the UK so you can get your dance music fix and make up for the lost time.
Family-Friendly Events
If you want to take your family to a festival, the chances are you will need a festival that has varied music genres and facilities for you all to enjoy. Luckily, the emergence of family-friendly festivals is happening with long weekends like Camp Bestival getting the go-ahead. Festivals like these will be packed full of different music for you and your family to enjoy and there will be performances suitable for younger children if you need it.
2021 is the year for festivals to emerge back onto the scene. With the season losing out last year, you’ll want to make sure you are hot on ticket sales so you can grab one whilst you can.
