Well, now the shortlists have been drawn up and it’s time for you to cast your votes. Look for your faves and show them some love, why don’t you?

Three London festivals to book right now

A spectacular roster of names from across the dance music spectrum is taking over Boston Manor Park next June. The star-studded line-up includes hypnotic electronic producer Jon Hopkins, joined by Four Tet, Midland, Nina Kraviz and Avalon Emerson. Not one to miss.

Did someone say Sugababes? Created by the minds behind queer party people Sink The Pink, Mighty Hoopla is a pop blowout promising fabulously feelgood vibes with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Next year will see the festival expand to two days, meaning more glitter, more debauchery and more atrocious dancing.

CtT curates its line-up across soul, funk and jazz, as well as a focus on street food and craft beer. Next year’s line-up includes groove-heavy headliners Khruangbin, as well as Joy Crookes, soul-house producer Romare and rapper star Mereba. Some very funky stuff is coming to Brockwell Park.
