Music Festival Bingo

Music Festival Bingo

Festivals are the marmite of musical ‘community’ events. You either love spending a week with hundreds of thousands of addled people watching a band on a distant stage, sleeping in a tent, sliding around in mud, waiting in a long queue to use a portable lavatory, being subjected to political moralising and then staggering home in a fog of crushing introspection. Or you don’t.

Well, an estimated 32 million people most certainly do love them because that’s how many visit musical festivals in the UK each year. Glastonbury, the Download Festival and Leeds Festival are among the biggest, although Glastonbury is of course the most popular. Thousands of people attend the event attracting some of the biggest acts in the world. It’s taking a fallow year in 2026, so that the local population as well as the local landscape can recover from the influx of 200,000 festival-goers and the litter they leave behind.

The 2026 festival season has some other notable absences – the LIDO Festival and the Wireless festival, both of which were due to take place in London parks, have been cancelled.  Although there are still several multi day outdoor festivals for that full-on camping experience, many festivals now run for just one day and there’s even some that use indoor venues such as the O2.  Are festival goers showing their age and wanting festival lite instead of full fat festival?  Or is it the cost of living squeeze?

Our Music Festival Bingo Cards

To help you make the most of your music festival experience, we’ve created music festival bingo cards that contain common themes, events and occurrences that are likely to happen at any given gathering.  You can use our terms or edit them;for example, if you’re going to a one day festival you’ll want to remove anything about camping and replace it with something else.

Select the number of people you want to play with and then print your Music festival bingo cards out. The first person to mark off a full line wins.
