Event Details

Grammy-award-winning music trendsetter and icon SZA will continue her touring trek with four shows at The O2 this June. She’ll be joined by British pop sensation RAYE.

The 2023 tour follows SZA’s hugely successful sophomore album, SOS, which was released in December and earned the superstar the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the United States. The album also claimed ten non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart - the most among albums by women in seven years. During the first run of the S.O.S. Tour earlier this year, SZA gave unforgettable performances night after night. The platinum recording artist performed  classics like “Love Galore” and “The Weekend” in addition to newer mega-hits such as “Kill Bill,” and “Shirt.” Fans also got to experience special performances from a number of surprise guests including Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B, Summer Walker, Lizzo and more.

The S.O.S. Tour marked SZA’s first-ever arena tour and earned the superstar endless praise, with Rolling Stone noting that “SZA lives up to all the anticipation” on opening night. The New York Times called her Madison Square Garden headlining debut “vigorous, confident, theatrical and intimate — the sort of show that manages the rare trick of feeling both vibrantly communicative and also protectively insular,” while Billboard proclaimed that the performance “delivered a message that she’s truly made a next-level step in her career.”

Born in St. Louis and raised in Maplewood, NJ, genre-defying, and GRAMMY Award winning recording artist SZA released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017. Revered for its raw and honest lyrics, it landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart, No. 2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen Music. The now RIAA-certified 3xPlatinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are currently certified multi-Platinum and Gold. Ctrl remains on the Billboard 200 chart since its release in 2017 and holds the record for the longest run for any Black female artist’s debut album. In 2022 alone it sold over 600,000 units and is the 10th best-selling female album this year in the country and 50th best-selling album in 2022 overall.

To close out the trying year of 2020, SZA gifted fans on Christmas Day with the hopeful track “Good Days.” Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Song, the single quickly became SZA’s greatest gaining solo single release, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and marking her first time in the chart’s top ten as the main artist. December 2021, SZA scored her second lead artist top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with the official release of “I Hate U,” which debuted at #7. The song also entered at #1 on both Spotify and Apple Music US charts and broke the record for the most streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music in its first week.  Fan favorite “Shirt” has garnered over 60 million streams globally since its release in October.

On December 9, 2022, SZA released her long-awaited sophomore album SOS.  Instantly and universally met with acclaim, SOS debuted and claimed ten non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200, the longest run for an album by a woman in seven years. Standout track “Kill Bill” is RIAA-certified 3x Platinum and earned the #1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 chart and several Apple Music and Spotify charts globally. Currently RIAA-certified 2x Platinum, SOS includes features by Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers and Ol’ Dirty Bastard; with production by Ctrl hitmaking collaborators ThankGod4Cody and Carter Lang, alongside Jeff Bhasker, Rob Bisel, Benny Blanco, Kenny “Babyface'' Edmonds, Emile Haynie, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Jay Versace, and more.

To this day, SZA continues to set the standard on creativity and songwriting, while shattering records with over 10 billion streams worldwide across all platforms. SZA has won various awards since the release of Ctrl including a 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat, Billboard Music Awards’ Top R&B Female Artist, BET Awards’ Best New Artist, BET Soul Train Awards’ Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and Best New Artist, MTV Video Music Awards’ Best Visual Effects for the “All The Stars'' with Kendrick Lamar, and NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding New Artist. In 2019, she won NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding Duo or Group for “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar and Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation for the Black Panther Soundtrack. SZA also received Billboard’s 2019 Women in Music Rule Breaker award. More recently, SZA was crowned the 2023 Woman of the Year at the Billboard’s Women in Music Awards and won iHeart Radio Music Awards for R&B Artist of the Year and R&B Song of the Year for “I Hate U.”

The international R&B star will headline venues across the UK including two consecutive nights at The O2

American singer-songwriter SZA has announced a run of summer 2023 UK tour dates. Tickets go on sale at 12pm on Friday 14 April.

The 'Kill Bill' singer is set to headline the AO Arena in Manchester on Tuesday 13 June before heading to the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Thursday 15.

The announcement comes in support of the global star's latest studio album SOS which was released in December last year. It's her third record since 2014 debut Z and follows 2017's Ctrl which earned her five Grammy Award nominations and the Best New Artist title.

SOS includes the viral singles 'Good Days', 'I Hate U', 'Low' and 'Kill Bill', as well as collaborations with industry giants such as Phoebe Bridgers and Travis Scott. The record-breaking album spent its first five weeks at the top of the US Billboard 200 Albums Chart.

SZA at AO Arena Manchester – tickets, support act, stage times, and more

The powerhouse US singer-songwriter is performing in Manchester as part of her SOS tour.

SZA is soon set to touch-down on UK soil, and she’s coming to visit us here in Manchester for the first stop on her major tour.

It’s been a good few years since SZA’s hit the road, but 2023 is the year that sees the powerhouse US singer-songwriter – real name Solána Imani Rowe – head out on tour to celebrate her second studio album, SOS , which was released to critical acclaim last December, and shot to the top of the albums chart in America and reached number two here in the UK.

It came five years after the release of her debut album Ctrl , which went on to sell over five million copies worldwide.

As well as selling millions of records, and claiming her first number one single with ‘Kill Bill’ earlier this year, SZA has also scooped up masses of awards – including a Grammy, two MTV VMAs, and two Billboard Music Awards, as well as an Oscar nomination for ‘All The Stars’ with Kendrick Lamar.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SZA (@sza)

Not only is SZA one of the most respected artists among her peers, and one of the most loved by critics within the music industry, but she also has a loyal fan base supporting her every step of the way, and tens of thousands of those fans will get to see her sing the hits live as she takes to the stage here in Manchester .

Heading to see SZA at the AO Arena ? Here’s everything you need to know.

When is SZA playing in Manchester?

Manchester is just one of three UK cities that SZA has chosen for the European leg of her S.O.S tour – with the singer also set to perform up in the Scottish capital of Glasgow later this week, before performing two night’s at London’s O2 Arena shortly after.

She will take to the stage here in Manchester on Tuesday 13 June.

With the AO Arena having a maximum gig capacity of 21,000, fans in their thousands are expected to travel to our city from far and wide to see SZA in a rare live UK appearance.

Are there any tickets still available?

Given that SZA isn’t known for heading out on tour very often, especially not here in the UK, tickets to see her in Manchester were in pretty high demand when they first went on sale back in April – but now, it does seem like there are some still available if you’re looking to grab yourself one.

At the time of writing, a quick search on Ticketmaster shows both standing and seating tickets available, however they are a little pricer than when they first went on sale – with seated tickets starting at £98, and floor standing at £181.

As always, if you try to buy tickets second-hand, please make sure you’re using a reputable resale site so you don’t get caught out by scammers.

Who is supporting SZA in Manchester?

If getting to see SZA live wasn’t enough, fans who head to the AO Arena a little earlier are also in for a real treat when it comes to the support act, as one of the UK’s fastest-rising music names is also taking to the stage in Manchester.

Raye – real name Rachael Keen – is a British singer-songwriter who initially rose to prominence after being featured on a number of commercially-successful singles, including ‘By Your Side’, ‘You Don’t Know Me’, ‘Secrets’, and ‘Bed’ – but in 2022, she decided to step out on her own to properly make a name for herself.

The 25-year-old received further recognition as a solo artist after her single ‘Escapism’ reached the top of the UK Singles Chart, and also became her first song to chart in the US.

She released her debut studio album,  My 21st Century Blues , to critical acclaim back in February.

What’s the potential setlist?

We all know artists tend to switch up their setlists from gig to gig and throw in a few surprises here and there, depending on the energy of the crowd and what they’re feeling that night, but it does seem like SZA has roughly been following a particular order of songs since her 2023 European tour began earlier this month.

Here’s a typical SOS tour setlist.

• Seek & Destroy
• Love Galore
• Broken Clocks
• Forgiveless Play Video
• UsedPlay Video
• Bag Lady (cover)
• Smoking on My Ex Pack
• All the Stars
• Garden (Say It Like Dat)
• Drew Barrymore
• Doves in the Wind
• Nobody Gets Me
• Kiss Me More
• Love Language
• Kill BillPlay Video
• I Hate UPlay Video
• The Weekend

Stage Times

Although everything is subject to change, and it’s always best to keep your eye on the venue’s official messaging on the day of the event to get the latest stage times, the AO Arena has confirmed that doors will be opening at 6pm for the SZA gig on Tuesday 13 June.

Raye is expected to perform from 7:30pm, before a short interval follows, and SZA then takes to the stage any time before 9pm.

The gig is set to run to 10:30pm – but of course, you always have to make room for an encore.

Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, has just announced a brand-new world tour along with releasing his latest album, all in the space of just a few hours.

With virtually no warning whatsoever, the multi-talented musician, actor, writer, filmmaker producer and comedian decided to drop the completed version of 3.15.20 , the experimental record he quietly dropped four years ago, along with a brand new music video and a series of global tour dates.

Titling the ‘finished’ fourth studio LP, Atavista , and releasing a music video for ‘Little Foot Big Foot’ – which features what we’re sure will go down as an equally iconic dance routine akin to that seen in ‘This Is America’ – it seems like he’s been quietly plugging away at new music in the background.

Just hours later, Manchester’s AO Arena confirmed that they would be hosting Childish Gambino’s Manc gig this fall, with the tour itself kicking off in the US this August.

After dropping the surprise release of Atavista and music video for Little Foot Big Foot, Childish Gambino is making a return to the global stage with The New World Tour. Join us in Manchester on Tuesday 26th November. 🌍💫 Tickets go on sale on Friday 17th May at 10am. pic.twitter.com/2nMRdX7d3s — AO Arena (@AOArena) May 13, 2024

But the surprises don’t stop there either.

As detailed in a statement on social media , in which he informed his fans that “there’s a special vinyl coming soon [with] visuals for each song” from Atavista, he also revealed that an “all new Childish Gambino album comes out in the summer.”

There’s so much information to take in right now we can barely catch our breath.

Joining him as the main support act for the newly announced world tour is Amaarae, a Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter and fellow R’nB star. Here’s what she sounds like if you’ve never come across her before:

• Keane’s Manchester gig has finally been rescheduled after Co-op Live postponement

With his gig at the AO Arena scheduled for Tuesday, 26 November, this isn’t just the first time he’s been in Manchester for a good long while but it’s also the first Childish Gambino tour since 2018/19.

Alongside his various TV and movie projects like Atlanta , the Amazon reboot of Mr. & Mrs. Smith franchise, as well as the upcoming standalone Star Wars film, Lando (just to name a few), it’s clear that Glover is still as busy as ever.

General admission for the Childish Gambino and ‘The New World Tour’ goes live at 10am on Friday, 17 May and if you think these things are going to stick around for long, think again.

A brunch event that showcases Manchester’s vast musical talent is returning to the city this month for its second instalment. 

Manny’s Loudest, created by Loud__Mcr who provide a platform for untapped talent, will again be helping artists to kick-start their careers over the bank holiday weekend. 

Alongside live performances and DJ sets, there’ll be food served up by NamFuzion, which blends Vietnamese and Jamaican grill.

The first Manny’s Loudest event in February pulled in 500 people, and organisers are hoping to push this even further for part two on 26 May.

It will all be taking place at the Manchester Recording Studios in Hulme, which has a capacity of 600.

Mervin and his team will be creating an immersive audience experience around the DJ decks, which Mervin describes as ‘a niche that can be scaled into the modern day talent show but with a party twist to it’.

And every penny made from Loud__Mcr’s brunch event is put back into the process, acquiring mainstream headliners to perform and become part of their community. 

It means that up-and-coming and undiscovered talent can perform on the same stage as experienced artists, providing an unparalleled platform and a chance to learn from those who have been in the industry for longer. 

Loud__Mcr are proud to be providing artists with a chance to show their creative work, but also offering a supportive community. 

Event organisers are also looking for any possible sponsor opportunities to help promote the event.

Manny’s Loudest will take place at Manchester Recording Studios in Hulme (3 Archway, Birley Fields, M15 5QJ) on 26 May. You can get your tickets here , and follow @Loud__mcr on Instagram for updates.

Solana Rowe (born November 8th, 1990) a.k.a SZA, hails from St Louis, Missouri, US, with the American singer-songwriter delivering alternative neo-soul and ethereal R&B that has gained respect from her peers.

Rowe grew up listening to the jazz greats, finding a love for Billie Holiday, John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane, before later developing an interest in the music of Bjork. She also found a love for hip hop, with her name being inspired by Wu Tang Clan’s RZA. These influences can be heard in her music with her voice garnering comparisons with Ella Fitzgerald in its rasping tone.

SZA began making music in 2012, releasing her first two EPs as a free download, featuring production from the likes of brandUn DeShay, Felix Snow, Zodiac, Hassan Insane and APSuperProducer, . These two releases, “See.SZA.Run” and ’S” showcased SZA’s dreamy, atmospheric brand of soul with hip hop inspired beats.

Following the success of these releases, she drew the attention of Top Dawg Records, with whom she signed, joining Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul on their roster. SZA found further exposure through the video for her single, “Ice Moon,” as well as her appearance on the track, “His & Her Friend” for Schoolboy Q’s album, “Oxymoron” in 2014.

Shortly after, SZA released a ten-track digital download, “Z,” which featured a host of hip hop artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and Isaiah Rashad. The album was a commercial success, reaching 197 in the UK charts and number 39 in the US.

Live reviews

Solana Rowe, aka. SZA is a singer/songwriter that I’ve been following since the release of her first track back in 2011. Although she’s not been creating music for too long, her original R&B fusion with neo soul is something that’s not covered extensively in the industry, and therefore puts her at a great advantage. From her beginnings studying marine biology at college, her change in career path was a risky one, but most definitely paid off for the best!

She opened the show with Babylon, one of her newer tracks, and had everyone singing along right away. Her incredible voice washed over the auditorium, and held everyone in silence, before she shouted out for us to join in. Her soulful voice of someone way beyond her years powered through everyone, and sent the energy of the room sky high.

She interacted really well with her band, and gave them the opportunity to play solos between her verse and choruses, which was a great touch. They were incredibly talented, and to hear such a high class musician perform with incredible musician rather than her usual DJ was wonderful.

The most incredible, angelic, beautiful person to ever grace this earth. I've never been more stunned by a performance. SZA met and exceeded all of my expectations, I cannot put into words how amazing she is live. It's an experience you don't want to miss if you get the chance to see her. She was so happy and humble and was continuiously appoligizing for being sick and I honestly couldn't tell, that's how great she is. Also the experience brought me life not only because I got to see her preform but because everyone was singing every single word to every song with her. Truly incredible when you are surrounded in a room full of people singing your favorite songs at the top of their lungs. Needless to say I want a live version of ctrl after all of this so I can reminisce.

This is the second SZA show that I've been to and once again it was fantastic!!! Her energy onstage is electric and the performance was so amazing!! And as always her beautiful bubbly silly personality made the show that much more amazing. I am so in love!!!!!!!. Not to mention the fact that she held my hand at one point. I just about cried tears of joy! Definitely looking forward to going to her next concert!! Best night of my life.

This show was electrifying! Sza puts so much energy and emotion into her music; when she sings the entire crowd can feel it. She is an extremely beautiful and talented perfomer. She dances intensely when shes feeling and involves her fans. Loved it so much I got teary eyed. She is my favorite singer thus far. I definitely recommend if you want a concert you will never forget.

Truly amazing! Her performance was full of heaps of energy and soul. A beautiful mixture of singing, dancing and a quick preview of her of her acrobatic skills! One of the best musicians to see in concert. Would be darn near impossible to not sway and jump when she's on stage. I've waited so long to see her and she did not disappoint. Really hope to see SZA in London more!!!

Amazing show! Sza sounded amazing! She looked like she was having an awesome time while performing and the crowd loved her. The energy in the venue was hella dope! At one point she instructed security to find any cases of water around to pass out to the people on the floor, saying "get the cases from the tour bus." I thought that was super cool of her.

I saw her last night in San Antonio, TX, it was my daughter first concert, and she did not disappoint. She is amazing live! Well worth the money spent. From the settings to the chorography her team did a fantastic job. The concert kept us on our feet the entire time. I will defiantly go see her again when she returns.

SZA is an amazing performer.

I saw her December 2014 with the Enter the Void tour with Jhene Aiko and the Internet.

She was amazing and energetic then and now that she is headlining her show was so LIT!!

I was dancing and sang all the songs and got my entire LIFE. You will too!

SZA was absolutely amazing. I saw her a few years back, and she came back even better and energetic with contagious good vibes. I totally recommend going to see her any and every time she comes to your city. Well worthy your time and money. And it's definitely a good time.

This concert was simply awesome. Her vocals were wonderful even when she lost her voice. You can tell she is dedicated to her fans and her craft! Can't wait till she is back in Atlanta!!!

How The Light Gets In

Music comes from alt-rockers Sea Power, dub icon Mad Professor and electronic titans The Orb. There’s a list of smart thinkers including the former director of the CIA David Petraeus, theoretical astrophysicist Priya Natarajan, AI expert Shannon Vallor and… John Bercow. 

25 May Brockwell Park, London  From £59.50 

An independent day festival showcasing cult favourites and some of the hottest up-and-comers about, Wide Awake is one for those who like to keep their finger on the pulse. Prolific psych-rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and the blistering Young Fathers headline, but wander over to any tent or stage and you’ll find something exciting. Our tip: don’t miss Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul’s irresistible grooves. 

25-26 May  Bristol and Nottingham  From £35 

Discover the next generation of alternative music at Dot to Dot, which takes place across grassroots venues in Bristol on the Saturday, before the artists all head up to Nottingham to do the same thing again on the Sunday.

The best UK festivals in June 2023

Cross the tracks.

26 May  Brockwell Park, London  From £69.50 

Cross the Tracks has made a name for itself as one of London’s best day festivals and this year’s stacked line-up shows why. Erykah Badu headlines a day crammed with soul/jazz/hip-hop giants from BadBadNotGood, Eve and Madlib (DJ set) to En Vogue, Three Sacred Souls and Lady Wray. Regulars Channel One Soundsystem, David Rodigan and Gilles Peterson will be spinning tunes. 

Fire In The Mountain

30 May-3 June Aberystwyth, west Wales  From £195  

A small farm festival staged in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains, Fire in the Mountain focuses on folk music from around the world and aims for strong representation from LGBT+ musicians. Performing this year are US singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop, This Is The Kit’s Rozi Plain and multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon. 

Birmingham International Ska And Reggae Festival  

31 May – 2 June  Thornborough Farm, Birmingham  From £99 / day tickets from £45 

Where better to host a UK ska and reggae festival than the West Midlands? The event is the first of its kind in Birmingham and original rude boy Neville Staple from The Specials will be performing a headline set of 2 Tone classics. Jamaican ska great Stranger Cole is also on the bill, along with The Ethiopians, Susan Cadogan and The Pioneers. 

8-9 June  Heaton Park, Manchester  £135 

A commendable – and rare – ticket price freeze has not impacted Parklife’s ability to book exciting acts. This festival, a short trip from Manchester city centre, is always crammed with chart-friendly artists and industry veterans. Disclosure, Doja Cat, Kaytranada, Becky Hill, Sugababes, J Hus, Peggy Gou and Nia Archives all perform, while DJ producers Fisher and Chris Lake will stage their Under Construction show in a European festival exclusive. 

Eden Sessions

12 June-13 July  Eden Project, Cornwall  Ticket prices vary 

Another series of concerts that offer something for everyone. One day you have Rick Astley and The Lightning Seeds, and another, JLS and Tinchy Stryder. We’re most excited for Suede and Manic Street Preachers, Fatboy Slim and Charlie Boon, and The National supported by This Is The Kit. 

13-16 June  Carreglwyd Estate, Anglesey  £284 

Gottwood is a boutique electronic music festival taking place in the middle of the woods that books the finest underground acts around. Stage curators include north-east party starters Ape-X, underground website Freq and Nottingham record label Wigflex. Performers include Willow, Enzo Siragusa, Ploy, Voigtmann, Ruf Dug, Move D, Cinthie and Sonja Moonear. 

14-16 June  Eridge Park, Kent  Weekend tickets from £214 

Black Deer has established itself as the UK home of Americana, country and roots music. This year’s line-up boasts headline slots from Sheryl Crow, Rufus Wainwright and Joe Bonamassa, alongside Seasick Steve, Courtney Barnett and even Homeland ’s Damian Lewis. Our top tip is soul crooner Jalen Ngonda, who sounds straight out of the 1970s. Then immerse yourself in motorcycle displays and a barbecue arena of “world famous eating competitions”. 

14-16 June  Donington Park, Derbyshire  From £300 

The UK’s most famous rock festival has done it again, unveiling a host of huge names that put Guitar Hero to shame. Headliners Queens Of The Stone Age, Fall Out Boy and Avenged Sevenfold will keep the mosh pit going for three days. Royal Blood, Pantera – playing their first UK show for 20 years, Machine Head, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit and Enter Shikari also play. 

Glasgow Jazz Festival

19-23 June  Glasgow, Scotland  From £28 

This festival sees world-class musicians and upcoming superstars descend on the Scottish city, which is known for its vibrant jazz scene. Not much has been given away yet, but one confirmed act is pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie, whose career has skyrocketed with the success of the Mercury Prize shortlisted Forest Floor , which was crowned Scottish Album of the Year in 2022. 

Isle Of Wight

20-23 June  Seaclose Park, Isle of Wight  £270

The iconic IOW festival packs a real nostalgic punch this year with headliners The Prodigy, Green Day and Pet Shop Boys. The Streets, Johnny Marr, Keane and Suede will be ensuring everyone can feel 20 again. As will The Darkness, S Club, Simple Minds and The Pretenders. You know what you’re getting here. The official theme is ‘summer solstice’, so don’t forget your midsummer folklore gear. 

Glastonbury

26-30 June   Worthy Farm, Somerset  £355 

The Eavis family have corrected last year’s all-male headliner misstep and booked pop sensation Dua Lipa, R&B superstar SZA and the one and only Shania Twain, who will perform in the legends slot on Sunday afternoon. Coldplay also get top billing, performing after Little Simz, who is surely edging closer to her own headline slot. Anyway, the real fun is to be had elsewhere, with absolutely loads of amazing acts over the weekend. 

29 June  Queen’s Park, Glasgow  £63.25 

Beloved Glaswegian noise wranglers Mogwai have put together a strong line-up for their first hometown festival. As well as a headline set from the organisers, expect NEU’s Michael Rother to give a krautrock masterclass, subversive pop thrills from Nadine Shah and shoegazing soundscapes from a resurgent Slowdive. White Rabbit books – publishers of Mogwai mainman Stuart Braithwaite’s excellent memoir, Spaceships Over Glasgow – will also host a literary tent. 

The best UK festivals in July 2024

Love supreme.

5-7 July  Glynde Place, East Sussex  £177 

Widely renowned as one of the best jazz and soul festivals on the circuit, Love Supreme always draws in the big hitters, and this year is no different. Get down to Chaka Khan and Kool & The Gang, enjoy a huge singalong with Dionne Warwick and groove with New Orleans maestro Trombone Shorty and UK neo-soul sensation Olivia Dean. 

10-13 July Upcote Farm, Gloucestershire   From £196.50 / day tickets from £36 

Voted the best medium-sized festival at the 2023 UK Festival Awards, 2000Trees is an independent rock affair with a firm focus on community and a loyal following. Headlining this year are US rockers and  Springsteen favourites The Gaslight Anthem, Aussie ‘shed rockers’ The Chats and Bedford’s Don Broco – in what will be their only UK live show of 2024. Last year’s headliner Frank Turner also returns, alongside much-hyped electro-rockers Wargasm, Bob Vylan and Welsh indie veterans Los Campesinos! 

11-14 July  Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Herefordshire  From £255 

Do some yoga, meditate, relax in a hot tub and then dance the night away at a festival hosted by the UK’s top party starters Cirque du Soul. You can see why it’s called El Dorado. Gracing the stages at this intimate gathering are Geordie rap star Casisdead, disco-pop titans Boney M and DJ/producer/vocalist sensation Eliza Rose. 

Funk And Soul Weekender

12-14 July Dreamland, Margate  From £99.50 

This funk and soul extravaganza by the sea does what it says on the tin – it doesn’t get much funkier than Nile Rodgers & Chic, does it? Dance the night away with banging sets from Norman Jay, Craig Charles and Horse Meat Disco. 

Mostly Jazz

12-14 July  Moseley Park, Birmingham  £170 

This jazz, funk and soul festival in the second city’s suburbs has an incredible ability to ensure you only need to stop dancing to go to the bar. Kool & The Gang, London jazz star Yussef Dayes and Leftfield headline, with jazz-funk legends The Blackbyrds also performing. The Kurupt FM boys are also in town with their hilarious and actually-quite-competent UK garage set. 

12-14 July  Glasgow Green, Glasgow  From £210 

You know what you’re in for at this Scottish big hitter, which this year welcomes Liam Gallagher, Gerry Cinnamon and Calvin Harris. It’s not the most diverse line-up on this list – with other acts including Chase & Status, The Courteeners and Blossoms. But it’s nice to see Garbage on the bill, and much-hyped band The Last Dinner Party are also playing. 

Tropical Pressure

12-14 July  Mount Pleasant Eco Park, Cornwall  £155 

This festival celebrates the vibrant cultures of Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean. Musical highlights include creator of the Afrolectric sound Franck Biyong and psychedelic Afrofunk from Hannabiell & Midnight Blue.

12-14 July  Finsbury Park, London  From £94.60 

The annual celebration of modern rap, hip-hop and Afrobeats keeps bringing in the top names from around the world. Nicki Minaj, Future and Doja Cat headline alongside local lad J Hus and London-born US star 21 Savage. Nigeria’s Asake and South African sensation Tyla are ones to watch. 

13 July  Herrington Park, Sunderland  £43 

The north-east’s biggest pop festival is here to transport you back to the 1990s and early 2000s – a more innocent time. Busted, Vengaboys, BoyzLife (Keith from Boyzone and Brian from Westlife – who knew?), Girls Aloud’s Nadine Coyle and even Rednex are performing. You get the picture. 

17-20 July Lews Castle, Outer Hebrides  £155 

The unique Hebridean Celtic Festival has been a fixture in the cultural landscape of the Outer Hebrides for almost 30 years. It aims to protect and promote Gaelic and traditional music, platforming local talent as well as internationally renowned acts. This year headliners include James and Scottish pop-rock veterans Del Amitri, while genre-defying Irish musician Sharon Shannon will also perform along with Celtic icons Skipinnish. 

Beat-Herder

18-21 July  The Ribble Valley, Lancashire  From £239  

What started in 2006 as a small rave in the trees has now blossomed into a pretty huge rave in the trees. This year’s line-up features a who’s who of dance music, including Leftfield, Orbital, Erol Alkan, Dub Pistols, Sarah Story, Jamz Supernova and Channel One Soundsystem. 

18-21 July  Monmouthshire, South Wales  £150  

This four-day music and arts extravaganza in the South Wales countryside is one of the friendliest small festivals around. This year’s full line-up has yet to be released, but headliners include daisy age hip-hoppers Arrested Development. As well as live acts and DJs, the festival boasts circus performers, creative workshops and art installations. 

Secret Island Festival

20 July  Mersea Island, East Mersea  £42.50 

A one-day music, arts and culture festival blending disco, house, techno, and drum and bass with activities like yoga and ecstatic dance. Their ambition is to become a mini-Glastonbury by the sea! The festival has partnered with Youth Music Charity for 2024, who believe that every young person should have the chance to change their life through music. 

Folk By The Oak

21 July  Hatfield Park, Hertfordshire  £58.50 

A family-friendly festival of the finest folk, roots and acoustic music set against a backdrop of beautiful leafy parkland. Circuit mainstays the Levellers are headlining this year, topping a bill that also includes folk duo The Staves, Kora master Seckou Keita and his esteemed Homeland Band and the captivating six-piece Heisk. 

25-27 July  Belladrum Estate, Inverness  £180 

The family-friendly festival in the Scottish Highlands celebrates its 20th year by putting on a pop music feast. Deacon Blue, Sugababes, James Arthur and The Futureheads all feature, as do Teenage Fanclub, Ocean Colour Scene, Jake Bugg and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who is unsurprisingly higher up on the bill than she would have been this time last year. 

Camp Bestival

25-28 July/15-18 August  Dorset/Shropshire  From £210  

The ultimate family festival takes place in two separate locations. For the kids, there’s everything from skateboard lessons to space camp and beekeeping. The music stages are equally as fun – McFly, Orbital, Paloma Faith, The Darkness and David Rodigan, to name a few. If you’re going to Shropshire check out Say She She, who make fine disco-infused pop. 

The best UK festivals in August 2024

1-4 August  Cerne Abbas Brewery, Dorset  £125 

This is an old-school day festival set in the grounds of a Dorchester Brewery. Expect sound system bangers from the likes of Mungo’s Hi Fi (ft Eva Lazarus) and Zion Train, reggae from Macka B, punk hip-hop from PENGSHUi and while you’re there get down to the sounds of Manchester’s Riot Jazz Brass Band. 

1-4 August  Winter Gardens, Blackpool  £230 

Dust off your studded leather jacket, rip those jeans and head to the seaside for the UK’s biggest independent punk festival. Iconic acts such as The Stranglers, Sham 69 and Stiff Little Fingers will take to the stage, while there’s plenty of room for new blood, with upstarts Bar Stool Preachers, HotWax and The Chisel set to keep you pogoing into the night. 

1-4 August  Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire  £278 

One of the most sophisticated festivals around, this. Music, comedy, literature, wellbeing – they’ve even got a review of the Sunday papers. Underappreciated national treasure Michael Kiwanuka headlines along with Faithless, Bicep (DJ set) and Jessie Ware. De La Soul, Alison Goldfrapp and Ibibio Sound Machine show how deep this line-up goes. Comedy highlights include Edinburgh Comedy Award holder Ahir Shah and screwball sketch trio Crybabies. 

Reggae Land

3-4 August  Milton Keynes National Bowl, Milton Keynes  From £110 

As the name suggests, this festival is all about reggae and Caribbean culture. Dub, dancehall and jungle also get a look in with celebrated acts including roots pioneer Burning Spear, UB40, Shabba Ranks and Aswad appearing alongside stars of the younger generation such as Koffee, Popcaan and Skip Marley. 

Boardmasters

7-11 August   Newquay, Cornwall   From £279 

Spanning two seafront locations in Newquay, the long-standing Boardmasters festival combines live music with surfing – from pro competitions to beginners’ lessons – and wellness. Headlining this year are Chase & Status, Sam Fender and Stormzy, with strong support from The Streets, Nia Archives, Becky Hill and The Courteeners. 

7-11 August  Matterley Bowl, Hampshire  From £300 

“A festival, but not as you know it.” That’s how Boomtown describes itself – and it’s hard to argue. The site is split into eight ‘city districts’, where you’ll encounter ‘citizens’ (actors). Guests are encouraged to play along and discover the underlying message – how we can transform our world. This is a green festival that offers discounts if you travel by public transport and aims to have net zero emissions by 2026. The music is set across 12 main stages and 50 hidden venues. The line-up is still TBA. 

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention

8-10 August  Banbury  £190 

Folk rock veterans Fairport Convention have been hosting this annual reunion in Oxfordshire since they called it a day back in 1979. This year features Rick Wakeman & the English Rock Ensemble, Tony Christie, The Trevor Horn Band and, of course, Fairport themselves.

8-11/22-25 August   Holkham Hall, Norfolk/Powderham Castle, Devon  From £205 

Get down to this adventure festival hosted by Bear Grylls. If you make it through the heart-pounding action, there’s a pop music feast waiting on the other side with McFly, Example, Sam Ryder, The Feeling, James and Ocean Colour Scene playing across the two separate events in Norfolk and Devon. 

15-18 August  Brecon Beacons, Wales  £260 

There’s something for everyone at this award-winning independent music, science and arts festival held in the beautiful surroundings of a national park. This year indie-folk darlings Big Thief and electro-soul crooner Sampha headline. 

We Out Here

15-18 August  Wimborne St Giles, Dorset  £240 

Gilles Peterson is back with the fifth instalment of his global music love-in. Headliners are flute newbie Andre 3000 and Sampha. Spoken word performer Kae Tempest, electronic producer Floating Points and Afro-pop star Obongjayar are our other tips. 

15-18 August  Tilford, Surrey  Day tickets from £50  

Set in The Rural Life Museum, Weyfest offers a festival experience like no other with a working light railway running both steam and diesel trains around the perimeter of the venue. They also have an eclectic line-up featuring the classic pop of The Feeling and The Lightning Seeds, acid jazz pioneers Incognito and irie vibes with Dreadzone. 

All Points East

16-25 August  Victoria Park, London  Ticket prices vary 

Running over two weekends in East London, headliners include cult pop icon Mitski, DJ/producer Kaytranada, disco punks LCD Soundsystem and rapper Loyle Carner. Field Day, which is now part of APE, will be headlined by alt-pop star PinkPantheress and disco veterans Justice. 

Creamfields

22-25 August  Daresbury, Cheshire  From £240 

The dance music Mecca never disappoints. Leading the bill are a flurry of A-listers including Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, Eric Prydz, Chase & Status and Charlotte de Witte as well as rising stars Peggy Gou and Eliza Rose. 

22-25 August Boughton House, Kettering From £214 

What was once a small evangelical Christian music festival has grown into a much bigger event welcoming those of different faiths and none, with a focus on activism. The festival has a ‘pay what you can afford’ ticketing model and does its bit to challenge global injustice. Among the acts playing this year are Corinne Bailey Rae, the House Gospel Choir, spoken word artist Jaspreet Kaur and rapper turned social justice campaigner Darren McGarvey , aka Loki. 

Lost Village

22-25 August   Norton Disney, Lincolnshire  £324 

One of the most creative festivals out there, Lost Village offers a surreal festival experience in a secluded woodland dressed up as an abandoned world – think dilapidated buildings, old junkyards, hidden gardens and a disused airbase. The focus is on forward-thinking music, art, food, immersive theatre, comedy, talks and workshops. Maribou State, Ben UFO and Jyoty are in town, and there will be live performances from Neil Frances, SBTRKT and Sofia Kourtesis. Rosie Jones and Josh Pugh are among the comedy highlights. 

22-25 August   Solway Coast, Cumbria  £165 

An independent, anti-corporate, family-friendly festival overlooking the sea? Nestled between the mountains of the Lake District and Southern Scotland? What more do you want? Solfest is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a dizzying array of rock, drum and bass, folk, reggae, and world music. Headliners include golden age hip-hop legends De La Soul, The Wailers and Peter Hook & The Light. There’s also a kids area, workshops and even a steam room and sauna on site. 

Reading and Leeds

23-25 August  Richfield Avenue, Reading and Bramham Park, Leeds  £325 

You won’t find a steam room or sauna at this classic rock festival, though Reading and Leeds has diversified a bit when it comes to booking acts – and all the better for it. Lana Del Rey joins Liam Gallagher and pop-punk pioneers Blink-182 as headliners, while Brits darling Raye and jungle revivalist Nia Archives are among the highlights lower down the bill. 

Shrewsbury Folk Festival

23-26 August  West Midlands Showground, Shrewsbury  From £185 

This celebration of folk, blues, Americana, world music and traditional dance is fun for all the family – even boasting its own festival-within-a-festival for the kids. Headliners on the main stage include Elkie Brooks, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, American bluegrass hip-hop band Gangstagrass and Scotland’s Peatbog Faeries. 

Barnstomper

29-31 August  Cerne Abbas Brewery, Dorset  From £145 

Live music and camping at a brewery? It’s a match made in heaven. Set in the grounds of the Cerne Abbas Brewery in the Dorchester countryside, this award-winning 18+ festival will be headlined by LA Celtic punk band Flogging Molly, EMF (of Unbelievable fame) and rockers Pet Needs. 

End Of The Road

29 August-1 September  Larmer Tree Gardens, Dorset  £255 

A music lover’s festival, with carefully curated line-ups in an idyllic setting that also offers comedy, films, workshops and literature events. The headliners are Idles, Slowdive, Fever Ray and, in a UK festival exclusive, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. We would also urge you to catch cult lo-fi star Ty Segall, New York power-pop princes The Lemon Twigs, Sheffield guitar hero Richard Hawley, festival veterans Yo La Tengo and feminist punk group Sleater-Kinney. 

30 August-1 September  Birmingham  £170 

Rated the UK’s best small festival by The Guardian , Supersonic operates sliding ticket prices and hosts a kaleidoscopic array of genres. We’re interested in Senyawa, who combine Indonesian tribal and primitive sounds with industrial music and Gazelle Twin, whose live show is “rooted in the theatrics of the séance”. 

31 August-1 September  Durdham Down, Bristol  From £103 

Forwards may be relatively new to the scene but it’s already drawing in the big names. Loyle Carner and LCD Soundsystem headline a bill that also boasts Jessie Ware, Four Tet and Yard Act, who are set to continue their ascent this year. Drummer and band leader Yussef Dayes, a leading member of London’s hip jazz scene, is also performing. 

The best UK festivals in September 2024

Mucky weekender.

5-7 September  Vicarage Farm, Winchester  £200 

Organised by Dub Pistols frontman Barry Ashworth, Mucky Weekender is a 5,000-capacity gathering set within 28 acres of private parkland. This year’s theme is ‘The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’, so get your March Hare outfits at the ready. The Dualers will bring Jamaican-style rhythm and blues to their headline slot, but look out for jungle producer and toaster Congo Natty and much-loved ragga deejay General Levy. 

Down At The Abbey

6-7 September  Reading Abbey Ruins  From £33.33 

A music festival set in the 900-year-old ruins of Reading Abbey? Count us in. Gracing the stage are Shabaka Hutchings’ cosmic trio The Comet Is Coming, the all-female party band Los Bitchos and multi-instrumentalist BC Camplight.
