If you're anything like us, you've been longingly looking out of the window wishing festival season would hurry the F up. The good news is, it's nearly time to chip off the crusty mud from your wellies and start thinking about whether it's a good idea to check if your tent is in a fit state for 2018.

With Glasto having a year off, some festivals upping sticks to new sites and even more brand new festivals popping up, the choice is, once again, almost intimidating. Thankfully though we've pulled together a huge list of what's going on all summer long, up and down the UK and Ireland, in our festival guide here...
