Get paid to go to 11 UK festivals this summer

It's a dream for many - not only going to some of the top music festivals, but getting paid to do it.

That's what's on offer for one lucky fan, as events platform Skiddle is looking for a Festival Reporter, attending all the big events and producing content on their experiences for the company's social media accounts - being paid £7,500 to boot.

In total, the lucky individual chosen for the role will attend 11 festivals between May and August, filled with the sounds of the summer, tasty food trucks that have travelled from far and wide and too many acts and activities to count.

"Not only will this be the space to create, but it will also be a time full of unforgettable experiences, the stuff of legends," Skiddle said.

Throughout this year’s summer of festival fun, there will be an array of acts filling the fields with life and great music.

From being up In Da Club at Parklife in Manchester as 50 Cent hits the stage, to no place you’d rather be when Clean Bandit headlines Highest Point in Lancaster and definitely no tragedies when Kubix, held in Sunderland, hosts Steps as its Saturday headliner.

As well as paying the new Festival Reporter to attend some of UKs biggest festivals, Skiddle will also cover all expenses, including travel to and from the festivals as well as meal costs for each day.

Applications for the role are open now, so if spending a summer in wellies surrounded by great music sounds right up your street, then more details can be found here.

Festivals the successful applicant will be required to attend are:

  • Highest Point, Lancaster, May 12 to

  • Dream Valley, Kent, May 28

  • Creamfields South, Chelmsford, June 2 to 4

  • Parklife, Manchester, June 11 to 12

  • One Out Fest, London, June 18

  • Retro In The Park, Burnley, July 2

  • Kubix, Sunderland, July 9

  • Bluedot, Macclesfield, July 21 to 24

  • Belladrum, Inverness, July 28 to 30

  • Rock The Mote, Kent, August 6

  • Garage Nation Outdoor Fest, London, August 13

  • Weyfest, Farnham, August 19 to 21

  • Creamfields North, Cheshire, August 25 to 28
