Festivals round-up

Just Joined members
PRS for Music has a presence at the summer festivals every year, dispatching an army of set list collectors to monitor what is played which ensure that the songwriters get the royalties they have earned as their songs are performed to thousands.

As they are uniquely positioned to give an all-round perspective on these festivals, M asked these set list collectors to keep a diary of what they saw, heard and rocked out to.
