If you are someone who loves your festivals, but would like to get off the beaten track, then think about heading to G! Festival this summer on the Faroe Islands. At least 150 miles from the nearest other piece of land, this is the ultimate secluded beach festival spot. This year, between the 14th and 16th July, Göta, a pittoresque seaside village, will once again play host to a truly memorable event which welcomes artists from Scandinavia, the UK, mainland Europe and elsewhere. In the past the likes of Darude, Natasha Bedingfield and The Guillemots have graced the stage of G! Festival and while not all the acts have been confirmed for this year's event, there is already an attractive looking lineup of both foreign and homegrown talent, including the world-renowned Blind Boys of Alabama. All 6000 tickets have been sold in previous years and thousands of others have enjoyed the music from the surrounding hills, which adds up to the equivalent of around one fifth of the Faroese population! Enjoy a festival with a difference this year and discover a whole new culture and people, only hours from home. For the who, what, when, where, why and how, visit the official festival website here.
