[The Extra Scoop - The Ultimate Summer Showdown]( [The Extra Scoop - The Ultimate Summer Showdown]( Beach Holidays vs Music Festivals People are going cuckoo with festival fever, especially with Glastonbury on this weekend, and whilst standing in a muddy field in the rain sounds appealing, it’s most definitely not the proper way to spend the summer. This week, we’re pitting the beach holiday up against the classic music festival to see what comes out on top (spoiler: the winner is full of sand, not mud), and giving you a load of tips on how you can pack both your dancing shoes and flip-flops and head to a beach destination with music festivals nearby, making for the ultimate holibob. [Your secret admirer] [Glastonbury Vs Holiday]( [Glastonbury Vs Holiday]( You probably (still) think stating in the UK is cheaper than booking a holiday abroad, but we’re here to tell you that this isn’t true. Heck, we once even built a whole tool to compare staycations versus vacations! That’s why I’ve picked out a top deal to the Sol Palmanova in Majorca and pitted it against a trip to Glastonbury to prove even further that a summer jolly is better value for your cash… [Glastonbury Vs Sol Palmanova] [Book your spot >]( [Book your spot >]( [Leave it to The Land of Legends]( [Leave it to The Land of Legends]( There’s no need to travel to a random field in England to get your fix of entertainment when you can dash off to Türkiye and spend a week at The Land of Legends in Belek. It’s basically a festival in itself, with tons of professional-level shows throughout the week, 11 bars, a waterpark, a theme park and regular boat parades down the Venetian-style canals. So, do yourself a flavour and swap the wellies for flip-flops and the tent for a room with a PlayStation and a FREE minibar.

They both share some similarities as well, like losing items of clothing to that much-needed strategic nap. I pestered Rob, our design guy, to take a break from his busy schedule making holiday TikToks to pull together this Venn diagram that gives you a proper look at the two side by side.
