Goldfrapp will be at LED in August this year

If you love music but hate camping then maybe it’s a City Festival you should plump for . . .

This summer there are going to be loads of brills skills city festivals through the months (nearly all in London, but, there you go!) If you are excited by the thought of catching your favourite musical acts in the open air but the thought of wellies and tents give you the shivers then some tickets to an urban based event could be the solution to all your problems. Note – although the sun may not shine you can definitely get a taxi home therefore some heels and CERTAINLY a bit of glam is in order.
