No go Glasto

Here's a list of other exciting music festivals going on in and outside of the UK in 2011 for those of you who, like me, sat on the internet or hung on the phone for hours on Sunday waiting patiently to get your hands on tickets for Glastonbury 2011 and never did.

Lowlands, a festival which takes place in Holland in August, this is the link to the unofficial English site (the official one is in Dutch). Last year they had the likes of Massive Attack, The XX, Blink 182, Queens of the StoneAge and Placebo playing, as well as a whole host of other cool things like movie tents and street performers.

Latitude, another fairly new festival which is held in Suffolk from the 15th to the 18th of July. There are multiple arenas, for not only showing musical acts but for poetry sessions and film screenings as well!

So there's a few of many cool festivals which will be taking place next year. And of course those of you who didn't get your Glasto ticket will know that if you really had your heart set on going there, tickets go on re-sale in April of next year.
