5 - 7 July: The Linton Festival nr Ross-on-Wye

This year, The Linton Festival celebrates its 19th year - championing the very best in live rock and blues since 2001.

The event began when some of the regulars of The Alma Inn realised it would be cheaper to get The Producers to come to Linton, rather than hire a mini bus and drive all the way to Poole in Dorset.

Then they decided rather than having one band - they'd have loads!
Ìý
Limehouse Lizzy, The Manfreds are some of the headliners for this year's event.

Glastonbury highlights: Years and Years

Performing on the Pyramid stage was Olly Alexander and his band Years and Years - who have previously topped the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Music Sound Of list.
Ìý
Olly studied at Hereford College Of Arts and became the band's lead singer after meeting at a house party and was overheard singing in the shower!
