  • Bingley Music Live - 4-6 September: Definitely one of the more eclectic line-ups of the summer, Bingley boasts a bill that includes Ash, Carl Barat, Ella Eyre, Funeral For A Friend, Peter Hook and the Light and Rae Morris. That's just the tip of the iceberg, and tickets for all three days will set you back just 53 quid.

  • No Tomorrow Festival - 6-7 June, Nottingham: The line-up for this festival reads like a Sound of 2015 longlist, and includes Jessie Ware, Hannah Wants, Kwabs, Nick Mulvey, James Bay, Milky Chance, MNEK and Soak. It'll cost you 65 pounds - but to see these acts on the same bill in a few years time will cost you twice that.

  • Parklife - 6-7 June, Manchester: There's a wonderful mix of old and new at the Manchester festival this year - and by old, we mean great. Nas, Mark Ronson, Grace Jones, and Wu-Tang Clan will join the likes of Jessie Ware, FKA twigs, Action Bronson, Novelist and Tei Shi. It's 89 pounds for a weekend ticket, or 145 for VIP, which includes cocktails, food market, luxury toilets, free programme.

  • Love Saves The Day - 23-24 May, Bristol: From established hip hop and grime artists like Azealia Banks and Wiley to promising electronic upstart Shamir, via Lapsley, for the modest sum of 79.50.

  • Wild Life - 6-7 June, Brighton: If you missed Brighton's Great Escape Festival last week, then this Disclosure and Rudimental-curated event is the next great festival Brighton has to offer. Nas, George Ezra, Wu-Tang Clan, Years & Years, Jamie xx and more are on the bill - not bad for its first year, and especially not bad for 99 pounds.

  • Field Day - 6-7 June, Victoria Park, London: As close as you can come to the countryside festival experience within the confines of London, Field Day this year boasts Run The Jewels, Tei Shi, Tune-yards, Jack Garratt, FKA twigs, Ride and the legend that is Patti Smith. A ticket for both days will set you back 93 quid.

  • Tramlines - 24-26 July, Sheffield: Surely the best value-for-money festival of the lot - Sheffield's Tramlines festival will host big named acts such as Wu Tang Clan, Basement Jaxx, Buzzcocks, and Billy Bragg, as well as new blood like Slaves, The Big Moon, Charlotte OC, and Honeyblood. The price? 33 pounds.
