In Somerset, Outcider Festival promises a rural escape with live bands and late-night DJ sets, while Shindig Festival in Wiltshire delivers a family-friendly blend of beats and bands across intimate stages.

Northern Ireland is going all out, with United Tribes transforming the Sperrin Mountains into a three-day celebration of music, art, and immersive rave energy. Meanwhile, EMERGE lands in Belfast with a heavyweight house and techno line-up, showcasing both global headliners and standout local talent.
