Five best mini music festivals

Bored of throwing shapes in London’s sweaty subterranean clubs? Ditch the hot summer in the city for a mini-festival. Here are five of the best upcoming ones
Tree time: In the Woods festival

Standon Calling

Aug 1-2

This Hertfordshire festival is fast becoming a summer staple. It’s a bit bonkers (there’s a swimming pool, carnival and a nightclub in a cowshed). Tickets start at £50.

Farmfest

Aug 1-2

If you’re strapped for plans this weekend, head to sunny Somerset for Farmfest. The line-up includes Public Service Broadcasting, Melt Yourself Down and Brassroots. Tickets from £53.

UV Festival

Sat Aug 9

UV is an all-day, all-night mega-rave in Surrey featuring some of the best new electronic talents. Tickets are £27.

In the Woods

Aug 29-30

Set an hour outside London, In the Woods is an established crucible of new talent: Lianne la Havas and Alt-J played before they got big. It’s sold out but readers can win four tickets via their Facebook page.

Brownstock

Aug 29-31

Billed as an “overgrown house party” in the Brown family’s garden, Dizzee, De La Soul and Razorlight star at the three-day Essex festival. Tickets start at £69.
