About Virtual Festivals

Digg! del.icio.us Facebook

Virtual Festivals, independently run since 1999, is the home of music festivals on the internet, a lifestyle portal that condenses the entire music festival marketplace into a single website.

As well as delivering the fastest news and information, Virtual Festivals is the world’s only dedicated social network for festival fans, integrating web profiles, videos, photos, instant messaging and so much more.

As Google’s top-ranked web domain for music festivals, Virtual Festivals is the most widely-used and highly-regarded site of its kind. It has grown organically since 1999 from a one-man operation into a market-leading dot com enterprise which also operates the UK Festival Awards.

The Times:
"Virtual Festivals is very much the complete package. Its clean online-magazine feel makes for an easy-to-use portal that provides everything from a thriving interactive festival community as well as well-informed editorial."

Q Magazine, Stuart Maconie:
"A first rate portal for news, ticket sales and all things festival related. Created by Steve Jenner in his bedroom, it now has offices in the West End, all the better to help you gear up for summer in the comfort of your own home."

Melvin Benn, Director, Mean Fiddler:

Metro:
"Whether it's moshing at Glastonbury or raving at Creamfields, this website has it covered. If a festival is not listed here, then it's not worth going to. With its news, reviews, interviews, and interactive features, it's the perfect online companion for outdoor frolics." - Number One in a review of various festival-related sites.

BT OpenWorld:
"Our favourite festival site is Virtual Festivals. No frail journos these boys, they're likely to be seen having it with the crowd in the moshpits while the rest of us look on from the safety of VIP. This energy and enthusiasm is reflected in their website." - Editor's Choice feature on festivals.
