Virgin Radio UK has been named as official radio station for CarFest, Latitude and Hardwick Festival.
Latitude takes place at Henham Park in Suffolk on 25th to 28th July, Hardwick Festival is on at Hardwick Hall in Durham on 16th to 18th August, whilst CarFest will be on in Laverstoke Park Farm in Overton on 23rd to 25th August.
The station will be broadcasting live on the ground from the three events so that listeners can enjoy the atmosphere without worrying about sleeping in a tent or buying wellies.
Headline acts like Duran Duran, Keane, Snow Patrol, Richard Ashcroft, Deacon Blue & UB40 will be hanging out as Steve Denyer & Stu Elmore bring the best chats and live tracks back to the Virgin Radio UK audience.
