UK Festival Awards Shortlist

The UK Festival Awards ceremony returns to The Roundhouse in London on Nov. 26 and the shortlist for this year’s edition has been released.

While festivalgoers voted upon the first batch of categories online (up to and including Anthem Of The Summer), an expert jury made a decision on the rest. Best major festival will be between Bestival, British Summer Time, Creamfields, Download, Glastonbury, Isle Of Wight and Parklife.

Promoter of the year will go to one of Amust4Music (Bloodstock), Andy George, Jaymo & Ben Atkins (Lost Village), Andy Marsh & Ian Evans (Victorious), Count of Ten (Y-Not, Tramlines, Truck, Brownstock), Damien Sanders, Big Kev & Team (Fusion), Fiona Stewart & Team (Green Man), From the Fields (Kendal Calling, Forgotten Fields), John Giddings (Isle Of Wight / Solo Agency), Scott Barton (Creamfields) or SJM Concerts (Wild Life Festival). This is just a fraction of the nominees and categories.

See festivalawards.com for the full list, which includes categories “best use of technology” and, possibly related, “best toilets.”
