Festival Links & Resources

Festival Links & Resources

Aloud.com
At the end of the day, the site is there to sell you festival tickets, but the information available is concise and to the point. Unlike the interminable anecdotes you'll no doubt return with.

British Arts Festival Association
Every notable event at which the self-respecting culture vulture would want to be seen at are listed here, and quite a few lesser known ones too.
www.artsfestivals.co.uk

Festival Revue
The site for the Edinburgh review. It lends weight to the argument that the event itself has become a corporate launching pad, but the site itself is a slick shortcut to the best of the festival, if you can't be there in person.
www.festivalrevue.com

Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts
There is some speculation about whether there'll be a Glastonbury in the year 2000. This friendly, informative site has already earned its place in the next millennium, reflecting, as it does, the spirit of the Festival.

Ross-on-Wye International Festival 1999
A little out of the ordinary, but this site excels as on online brochure by its sheer simplicity.
www.festival.org.uk

Site Officiel du Festival de Cannes
A combination of raw information and genuine enthusiasm for the Festival gives the Cannes online experience a real edge.
www.festival-cannes.fr

Sundance Film Festival
Unpretentious enough to convince you that the organisers really believe in their work. This film festival founded by Robert Redford has become an important forum for independent cinema. The results of their efforts are visible on the sites for specific years of the festival, accessible from here.

Welcome to the British Council
A site which provides an exhaustive list of festivals of a literary bent. A useful directory, whether you're a budding poet looking for exposure, or you simply want to know when the book readings begin.
