London day festival must-haves, from beauty multi-sticks to cool boxes

Festival season is upon us - (iStock)

Festival season is in full swing, and it’s time to go too far with the glitter, stock up on your favourite tinned cocktails and get ready. In lieu of Glastonbury, London’s day festivals are having a real moment – prized for providing the joy and atmosphere of a five day event, without the tents, mud or week-long hangover.

While some of the most popular, like Mighty Hoopla, may have already come and gone for 2026, there are still plenty to look forward to – including BST Hyde Park, with Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi. Elsewhere, All Points East is still yet to come, with a line-up featuring Lorde, Tyler: The Creator, Deftones, and Jorja Smith. Coinciding with his residency at Wembley, Harry Styles’ Meltdown festival is also in the calendar.
