The fest holds an estimated 175,000 people, nearly 40,000 more than Glastonbury.
Glastonbury is taking an off year to let the grounds rest. Not to fret, the massive festival will return for another 6-year run in 2019. For 2018, a new festival will step in and fill the void during Glasto’s off year.
BBC Music announced The Biggest Weekend, a new four-day festival taking place across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The radio giant says Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3 and Radio 6 listeners will enjoy the lineup, as it offers “coverage similar to that around Glastonbury.”
The Biggest Weekend is currently scheduled for May 25-28, 2018. The fest holds an estimated 175,000 people, nearly 40,000 more than Glastonbury.
Bob Shennan, director of BBC Radio and Music, stated: “We will be celebrating the diversity of music from four different corners of the country, bringing the best UK music to the world and the best global music to the UK.”
