Or, if you’re reading this on the 28th February - TOMORROW. This year’s Wakestock (sponsored by Relentless energy drink), which offers musical delights as well as plenty of opportunities to watch people attached to string flying through the air, will take place at two locations. First there’s the Oxfordshire leg, which will take place in the salubrious setting of Blenheim Palace (left), don’tcha know. Apparently this is the first time a contemporary music festival’s been held in these esteemed grounds, so BE GRATEFUL.
Then you have the North Wales leg, held between 4th and 6th July in Abersoch, which is on the coast and will therefore allow you to live like that beach bum you always wanted to be, for a few days at least.

The musical line-up is pretty impressive - I’m not sure whether all these acts will be performing at both locations, but acts confirmed include (copy and paste from press release ahoy): Groove Armada, The Streets, Supergrass, Funeral For A Friend, Young Knives, Hadouken, Audio Bullys, Friendly Fires, Royworld, Metronomy, The Dykeenies, Jazzie B, Norman Jay and Brandon Block.
Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9am from Ticketmaster, See and Stargreen, among other outlets.
