UK Festival Awards

Callooh! Callay! It’s the 2014 UK Festival Awards – THE RESULTS – which got announced last night at a big sold-out to-do at the Roundhouse in London.

With main awards going to Glasto, V (for ‘Best Toilets’) and Rob Da Bank (both directly and for his role in directing Camp Bestival), the greatest shock of the night was when the ‘Anthem Of The Summer’ prize went to Calvin Harris for… ‘Summer’.

Positively brimming with pride, Festival Awards director Steve Jenner says: “Another outstanding summer has made this year’s voting and judging a hugely exciting but also challenging task. So many events have put on an exceptional show and we’re thrilled to be able to praise many of them”.

“We’re very proud to have assembled the great and good of the festival world for this occasion”, adds he.
