When: June 23-27
Where: Tromøya, Arendal
What: Another festival, another Jay-Z headline but this one offers the pull of being on a stunning Norwegian island. With enough stages to rival some of its major UK cousins and with attractions like the Hove Film Festival, visual arts display and literature arena there's a lot about this festival that could pit it above the likes of Glasto and Latitude on your festival wish-list. Okay it hasn't got the sunshine of Benicassim (in fact the weather's a bit like British spring time - pre-global warming) but with four different campsites to choose from, including one for your boat (if you happen to have one lying around) and a zero footprint one, five days of music and entertainment plus flights all starting from about £300 total - it's a music holiday.
Tickets: 1890 NOK (£183) for five-day passes to the festival. 500 NOK (£47) for Festival camping. 350 NOK (£35) for Zero Footprint camping. 250 NOK (£25) per person for the Boat camp and 150 NOK (£15) per boat. 150 NOK (£15) per night for Hove Offsite camping per tent. 180 NOK (£18) for housewagons. 400-600 NOK (£40 - £60) per night for offsite Cabins.
