If you fancy a French seaside holiday as part of your festival season this year, you could do a lot worse than going to La Route Du Rock. This festival is located in St Malo on Brittany’s emerald coast, and boasts an idyllic beach stage in the daytime, intimate theatre performances in the evening, and then a big festival stage set against the spectacular backdrop of a medieval fort by night, with music until the early hours.
This year, the impeccably tasteful lineup sees The XX headline, with Squarepusher, Mazzy Star, Mark Lanegan and Stephen Malkmus also playing; new bands include Memoryhouse, Cloud Nothings, Lower Dens and The Soft Moon.
Ferry travel and a festival ticket costs only £149, all in.
