UK music festivals in August 2019
South West Four
Clapham Common’s bank holiday dance music explosion returns for another weekend of big drops, club anthems and arms in the air. If you’re longing for superstar DJs but can’t afford Ibiza and are loath to spend the last days of summer in a dark room, head to SW4 for your fix of big-room house, EDM, electro, techno and trance, as well as other genres creeping in from all angles. The 2019 line-up has yet to be announced, but expect it to be teeming with globe-conquering names.

Tiny dance music festival keeps it underground at a secret location
With only 700 tickets on sale, Field Maneuvers harks back to a free party vibe – a far cry from many of today’s sprawling, branded festivals. The location is kept under wraps, but will be within an hour of London. Get your rave on to a cutting-edge line-up.
Line-up includes K-Hand, Dr Rubin, Ben Sims, Shanti Celeste, Ryan Elliott.
Location on booking. Aug 31-Sep 2. £119.
