Struggling to decide which festival to go to this summer? From city break fun in Barcelona to a big day out in London, we’ve got you covered.
The countdown to festival season has well and truly began. Soon, we’ll be away from the cold’s tyranny, and welcomed into the open arms of sun-kissed stages, overpriced White Claw’s and all our favourite acts in one place. Now, with such a vibrant array of hedonistic endeavours on offer and the purse strings ever tightening, it’s increasingly tricky to find the festival best suited to you. But never fear, we at Wonderland have rounded-up a bunch of the musicals havens that we feel could be your golden ticket. Whether city break fun in Barcelona, a trip to Oslo’s countryside or a big day out in London is your vibe, we’ve got you covered.
Primavera Sound Barcelona
When Is It: 4th – 8th June
Key Acts: Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx & Troye Sivan, Central Cee
Hidden Gems: Nourished by Time, Black Country, New Road, Chanel Beads
Why You Should Go: On the coast of Barcelona lies Primavera Sound, the four day dream that has become one of the most quintessential festivals across the globe. Seemingly augmenting their reputation with each passing year, for 2025 they’ve once again upped the ante, with a line up so far unmatched. Already sold out (unfortunately), if you’re lucky enough to be attending, kudos. If not, there’s always the waiting list… and next year.
Rock en Seine
When Is It: 20th – 24th August
Key Acts: Chappell Roan, London Grammar, Suki Waterhouse, Luvcat
Hidden Gems: N/A
Why You Should Go: A Parisian utopia descending towards summer’s twilight, Rock en Seine is the French capital’s premier music extravaganza, with last year’s line up homing global heavyweights such as Lana Del Ray, LCD Soundsystem and PJ Harvey. This year’s line up already looks electric despite the fact there’s only four names revealed so far. A big hitter.

Key Acts: Kneecap, CMAT, English Teacher, Daniel Avery, Cobrah

We know there’s at least three day festivals, with Jamie xx and Charli xcx headlining (and curating in Charli’s case) two of them. Taking place at the Metropolitan haven that is Victoria Park, we expect this to quickly become an essential tick off for any avid festival goers bucket list.
