Last year the festival was held in Swansea, with artists like Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello and Florence & The Machine headlining, but some southern fans are slightly upset that the festival tends to always take place up north:
Frustrating that big weekend is constantly up North or Midlands??😫 would have been nice to have seen it more Central/South this year…

Nonetheless, if you can get your hands on tickets, it’ll definitely be worth the travel if you’re not from Middlesborough.
