The ultimate guide to the best UK & European music festivals of summer 2019
It's that time of the year again: Sunny or rainy, hot or cold, doesn't really matter.
Summer time means festival time!
With the multitude of options that music fans have each year, we thought we might put together an ultimate guide of our favourite 2019 summer festivals, where you will be able to catch ICMP students and alumni as well.
From Liam Gallagher whose band features BMus graduate Drew McConnell to Ex:Re, the recent solo project by Daughter's lead singer and BA Songwriting alumna Elena Tonra, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch ICMP talent around the UK and the rest of Europe.
