Ten incredible festival destinations you can fly to from Manchester Airport this summer

Summer is synonymous with festivals and there are dozens taking place over the coming months. Glastonbury is probably the best-known in the UK, but revellers will be heading across the country to the likes of the Isle of Wight Festival, Kendal Calling and of course, Reading and Leeds.

Things can get muddy thanks to the UK weather, however, so if you’re after your festival fix going abroad could be the answer - and an alternative if you missed out on Glastonbury tickets.

Experience the Iconic Burning Man festival in the Nevada Desert, venture to Iceland for the Secret Solstice festival where you can celebrate the midnight sun or if heavy metal is your thing venture to Hamburg for the genre’s biggest festival at Wacken Open Air.
