Our preview of this summer’s festivals continues apace, with a look today at those events that descend upon bewildered locals and immediately send alcoholism, crime and fun rates soaring – SXSW, The Camden Crawl, The Great Escape, Benicassim and Bestival.

Following on from yesterday's preview of the summer's best overseas festivals, focus falls now on those events that have come to be known as 'boutique' in the last couple of years. Turning our backs to the sea, we leave Loop, the two ATPs, Bloc and Latitude for now and eye up this handful.»
Welcome to Drowned in Sound's festival preview week. It being March, you probably already have a rough draft of how this summer's going to pan out sketched in your head but, helpfully, we're here to pour more options and opinions in; cluttering your glad brains with insider tips and revelations, offering our take on the bands you should endeavour to see as well as reviews tackling last year's festivities.»
