Line-ups, tickets and dates
AI is now woven through UK festivals – spotting crowd surges early and fighting ticket bots, but also flooding streaming with fake bands, forging line-up posters and powering ticket scams. UKFG weighs the evidence on both sides and sets out a five-point AI pledge for festivals to sign up to.
The 2027 UK festival season is already on sale. Glastonbury is back, Download, Isle of Wight, Boardmasters and Creamfields have dates, and registration deadlines are days away. Here's how to pick the right festival for your crew, from first-timers to families to ravers, and what to sort now.
Creamfields, the iconic electronic music festival, marks its 30th anniversary with the announcement of The Prodigy as the first headliner for the 2027 edition. Learn about the history of Creamfields and the impact of this exciting reveal.

What We Thought
"FeastyFest returned to Cheam Park on 12–13 September 2026 for two days of street food, tribute sets and old-school rave. From General Levy's Secret Stage takeover on Saturday to Sunday's Complete Madness singalongs, here's why Surrey's biggest food festival earns a full five stars."
"After a summer of glorious sunshine, the natural world desperately needed some rain. Hallelujah, we got it in bucketloads! We even had to wade through thick mud, that all-too-frequent rite of passage at British festivals. And yet, praise the lord, it hardly dampened proceedings a jot. What rain? "
"Six headliners, three secret sets and some of the best live music of the British summer. But Reading Festival 2026 also cancelled dance sets over crowding, scrapped BBC Introducing after 18 years and charged £325 to do it. UKFG wasn't on site — our full weekend verdict."
