To set you up for all the good stuff ahead, we’ve cracked the whip on our army of music monkeys to bring you the ultimate guide to this summer’s festivals.

From tips on surviving the weekend, to recommendations from the Kerrang!, Q and Kiss teams as well as the greatest ever festival moments and advice from our illustrious font of wisdom, Professor Portaloo, we’ve got it covered – and you could be there.

We’ve got some awesome competitions lined up so keep checking back for updates and your chance to win tickets to the top festivals. Wherever you go, make sure to enter your pictures and we’ll put them up in the gallery blog.

If you’ve got something you want to get off your chest, or you're just drunk and it seems like a good idea, call the Random Rant Line on 0207 182 8933 and you could be part of our summer podcast.

Have an awesome summer – it all starts here.
