We know it’s only the second day of 2024 and you’re probably caught up thinking about juice cleanses, ‘ins and outs’ lists and dragging your bones to the gym. Maybe you’re still fighting a two-day hangover from New Year’s Eve. Whatever you’re up to, thinking about festival season is probably reasonably far down on your list of priorities – but we’d argue it’s never too soon to start mapping out your events calendar for the coming months.
If you needed an excuse to draw up your festival hit-list for 2024, this is it. A music festival in Edinburgh has just been voted the best festival in the country at DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards 2023 – beating the likes of AVA Festival, Waterworks Festival, We Out Here Festival and Bassfest Summer Festival to the top spot.
Terminal V festival, a Warehouse Project-style electronic music event housed in the Royal Highland Centre, took home the prize at the awards ceremony in London last month. On receiving the award, co-founders Derek Martin and Simon McGrath said: ‘We are delighted to have won Best Festival for Terminal V at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards.
‘It’s a huge honour to be recognised for what we do, which is fuelled by our passion for electronic music and the scene which we have been a part of for many years. It is also testament to the growth and success of the festival over the last six years. We can’t wait for the tenth ever edition of Terminal V in Edinburgh in April next year – it’s set to be by far our biggest yet!’
The next Terminal V event takes place on April 13 and 14 this year, with an estimated 40,000 in attendance. The lineup includes DJs and producers FJAAK, Blawan, Slam, Hannah Laing, DJ Daddy Trance, Nico Moreno and 999999999.
