Vote in the Festival Awards and win a prize!

The summer is over and festival season has officially come to an end. Now it's time for you to vote, which Festival was the highlight of your summer! The UK Festival Awards will be taking place in Central London (where else?) on November 6th and is the industry’s only awards voted for solely by the people who really matter – the fans. Although it's unclear whether those that matter - the fans - are allowed in.

With so many festivals to choose from brace yourself for a hard decision. There are over 20 categories to vote in this year, including Best New Festival so it’s not all about the big guns. The UK has arguably the most vibrant festival scene in the world, and it is time to honour those who made this year a little more special. Have your say and set the standard for next year by voting now at www.festivalawards.com. As well as making a difference to the festival scene, your vote will also qualify you for an exclusive money-can’t-buy prize draw to win a pair of tickets to every winning festival in 2008! You can vote on a whole host of things, from Best Act to Best New Festival... and even Best Toilets. Sadly, we aren't in that category...

Festivals round up - Tuesday update

As previously reported, a lot of the weekend’s festivals were a muddy mess. But some brave reviewers have now made it back from the edge, so here’s a more detailed round up.

- At the Lovebox Weekender Sly and the Family Stone’s late arrival did nothing to detract from their performance or dampen the audience’s enthusiasm for the band’s first reunion in two decades, or so says the Telegraph.

Festivals round up – the weather rains on everyone’s parade

You may have noticed a teeny tiny bit of rain across the UK this weekend. And BOY did it affect the festivals!

- The Glade Festival was one of the first to be badly hit by this weekend’s apocalyptical storms. With the Overkill Stage under nearly 2 feet of water and tents being washed away, organisers were forced to stop letting ticket holders in and many frustrated fans headed home without setting foot on site.

Four Tet live!

A couple of my mates have gone to the Glade Festival to get nosebleeds from breakneck glitched beats and atomic sub-bass... and you can't blame 'em really. On a more mellow tip, here's Four Tet (live) to see what they'll all be recovering to.
