These Amazing Festivals Havent Sold Out Yet

These Amazing Festivals Haven't Sold Out Yet These Amazing Festivals Havent Sold Out Yet Didn’t manage to get tickets to Glastonbury, Coachella or Ultra Festival this year? Or perhaps you missed our piece on the best smaller indie festivals in Europe on our radar? Not to worry, these music festivals happening around Europe, Asia and the US - miraculously - haven’t sold out yet! 1. Virgin V Festival 19-20th August Chelmsford, UKTickets from £97.90 (US$126 ) Headlining the main stage of Virgin V Festival this year will be, lo and behold, Jay-Z, who’ll be performing his new album 4:44 on stage for the very first time. In some ways a response to Beyoncé’s heartfelt, breakthrough album Lemonade, which exposed her husband’s infidelities, 4:44 issues an apology and touches on the rapper’s strange relationship with his mentor Kanye West, whose Trumpesque onstage tirade spilled much ink earlier this year. Other big names on this year’s lineup include Stormzy, Pink, Sean Paul, Ellie Goulding and George Ezra. Buy tickets here. 2. Panorama July 28-30 New York City, US Tickets from US$99 East Coast indie kids in the US will be pleased to learn that New York City’s Panorama festival in Randall’s Island Park hasn’t sold out yet. Some of the amazing names on this year’s lineup include American rapper Frank Ocean, the RB pop princess Solange, whose magnificent, politically-charged album A Seat at the Table received widespread acclaim from critics, Belle and Sebastian, Tame Impala and Alt-J. Buy tickets here. 3. KAABOO Festival September 15-17San Diego, US Tickets from US$259 The new kid on the block, KAABOO festival has become one of the most anticipated music, comedy and food beach festivals in the US. In its third installment, KAABOO has managed to attract big names on its lineup this year, like Kesha, Pink, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Muse. Expect solid comedy, good food and pop charts. You’d be sorry to miss it. Buy tickets here. 4. Bestival September 7-10 Dorset, UK Tickets from £186.00 (US$239)This yuppie music festival, branded by The Guardian as “a cross between a music festival and a summer camp for preteens”, has been on the festival scene for long over a decade now, and it’s very much become the quintessential family-friendly camping music festival of choice for ex-raver mum and dads. Expect glitter face paint, bouncy castles, confetti cannons and fireworks, and the likes of The XX, Justice and DJ Shadow. Buy your tickets here. 5. FYF Fest July 21-23 Los Angeles, US Tickets from US$109 Headlining this year are RB queen Missy Elliott, Icelandic pop goddess Bjork, the rapper Frank Ocean, and the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails.
