Easy Jet Raving: European Festival Guide

Now, first things first, we do love festivals in the UK. You can get there by car and sometimes it’s hot enough to get a sunburnt nose.

That said, we all know what they can end up looking like…

So with that thought in mind, maybe we should take a look at what else there is out there this summer…
