20 bands that will be stepping up to headline festivals in the future
It's time to give the younger acts a chance
Lana Del Rey: She's got a lot of flack for some of her more shaky live performances, but she's managed to hone it perfectly now - with a totally stunning live presence. Don't get us wrong, she still has a bizarre, nervous, spaced-out presence, but it's the kind that moves you, rather than makes you horribly uncomfortable. With another No.1 album under her belt, it stands to reason that she's topping the bill at festivals soon.

There are plenty of younger bands ready to replace the old guys at the top of the bill - here are just 20 of them.
The headliners are this year's festivals have ranged from brilliant to uninspiring, but, if the bands in this list get booked, the future of British festivals is in safe hands.
