Summer Music Festivals 2011

Hello classmates!

Sooner than later, it will be summer again and having fun should be the objective #1. So, if you love music very much, here you got two amazing proposes for this summer. Both of them take place in the UK, but I think that is not a problem for most of you.

As you already know, the Glastonbury festival is one of the most important festivals in the world, and this year it takes places in the South West England at Worthy Farm, as always. The other fabulous festival takes place in Reading and in Leeds, and it's called Reading & Leeds Festival, aka 'Carling Weekend'.
