Following this year's massive Glastonbury, ticket searches for this summer's next big events have rocketed as music fans across the UK race to secure the next festival high.

Mumford & Sons' Sunday night performance have booted ticket searches for T In The Park (where they also headline) by a massive 247% since their headline slot, while interest in Latitude and Wireless Festival (both taking place in July) had increased by a third on the week leading up to Glastonbury.

Festival goers were also keen to look further afield for their summer music fix, with interest in European festivals such as Benicassim, Bilbao BBK and Tomorrowland also up 84% since last week.

"The incredible Glastonbury performances coupled with the glorious weather over the weekend, has put the nation in the mood for live music this summer," says Viagogo spokesman Steve Roest, in an official statement from the ticket sales website.

Roest also warns of buying from websites who do not guarantee the authenticity of the tickets on sale, adding: "In light of this demand, we’re urging consumers to be extra vigilant when shopping online for tickets. They should make sure they only buy from websites that offer a guarantee."
