Another big one in Scotland, Cultivate is the North East’s biggest electronic music festival bursting with techno, deep house, disco house, tech house, and bass music.

Smaller than many other fests, it’s perfect for those wanting to rave who don’t like huge crowds that go on further than the eye can see. Because losing your friends in a sea of people while you’ve got double-vision really isn’t the vibe.

Plus Cultivates never disappoints with their lineup, especially after last year when they had Charlie SparksFranckHannah LaingMatt GuytestpressTibasko, meaning whoever they get on the decks this year, will definitely be ones to look out for.
