9 incredible alternatives to Glastonbury you can still get tickets for
Every summer, like clockwork, Glastonbury dominates the UK festival conversation. And fair enough – it's iconic and tends to secure some of the most talented names in music. But while everyone's obsessing over Pyramid Stage headliners and Worthy Farm mud forecasts, a wave of equally thrilling, genre-spanning festivals is quietly redefining the live music scene across the UK. From superstar-studded bills in central London to transformative woodland retreats, these alternatives aren't just second choices – they're experiences that offer something far more unique than Glastonbury.
