Festival season is well and truly upon us, and now that Glastonbury have announced their line-up, we have the final piece in the puzzle of 2014's epic run of huge music events. So, to help get us in the mood and to assist you in planning your summer, we found and ranked the 22 best festival line-ups of the year. Where will you be rocking out this summer?
From the ecclectic offerings at London's ExCel Centre for Jabberwocky to the sun-scorched Primavera Sound in Barcelona and the urban delights of Wireless to the star-studded Governor's Ball in York, festival season has something for all tastes - with everyone from Arctic Monkeys and Burt Bacharach to The Flaming Lips and Iron Maiden gracing a stage somewhere.
Some have utterly huge names, others are a buzzing hive of hot new talent, but it takes a special blend of good tastes to put together a truly awesome line-up. Here are the 22 coolest music festivals of summer 2014.
