If you are a fan of music and you feel the summer months getting ever closer, then getting hold of festival tickets and heading out to a high profile event in the countryside is likely to provide a memorable and long-lasting experience.
Even within the city there is an abundance of festivals taking place across the country and it shows that all you need is some open green space and you can put on an unbeatable event. Whether you are witnessing the Leeds Festival out in the country or the LED Festival in Victoria Park, there is something out there for everyone, proving that Britain is the home to some stand-out events come the summer months.
Within Hyde Park in London another festival appears in the form of Serpentine Sessions, which features a range of acts across three days. Priding itself as a place to witness some smaller acts in an intimate setting, it is certainly a unique addition to the festival scene since it first appeared in 2009 and will undoubtedly build up a reputation as time goes on. So despite its status as a young event on the calendar, expect to hear a lot more from Serpentine Sessions as time goes on.
When the festival arrived in Hyde Park in 2009 it featured the likes of Tindersticks, Regina Spektor, Big Star and others at the specifically devised area within the site. With these high quality indie acts as part of the line-up it was uniquely supporting smaller bands and by the time 2010 came around it could boast even more awe-inspiring acts. When the line-up was announced it featured Grizzly Bear, famous for albums like “Veckatimest” and “Yellow House”, as well as Laura Marling, the folk artist who is a rising star in the British music scene, and Patti Smith as headliners alongside the likes of Peggy Sue and Fionn Regan.
So make sure you pick up festival tickets to witness the great acts that make up Serpentine Sessions. It is likely to be a unique experience and one that stays in the hearts of festival-goers well into the future. And whilst it is a relatively recent addition to the festival scene it is one that is only going to continue to attract independent music lovers and flourish as the years go on.
