There’s a Friends festival coming to the UK and fans of the show will absolutely love it

Could you BE any more excited?!?!?

Paul Moore

When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, there’s some good news because FriendsFest is returning to the UK and it sounds like an absolute blast for fans of the beloved show.

One thing that defines the uber nerdy fans from the regular fans of any show is their obsessive knowledge of minuscule details.

With this in mind, can you name three songs that featured throughout the 10 seasons of the beloved sitcom?

Put those thinking caps on.

There was U2- With or Without You when Ross and Rachel had their first serious fight about ‘the list’. They were also listening to Chris Isaak – Wicked Game when they had sex at the planetarium.

If you’re looking for a third answer, Cornershop – Brimful of Asha was playing when Ross threw a party in his new apartment that nobody showed up to. See, hardcore Friends fans would get those answers in a heartbeat.

While you might be attending a festival over the summer with some of these artists on the billing, it’s unlikely that you’ll find a festival that caters to your undying devotion to Friends in the way that FriendsFest does.

If you fancy heading along then you’ll be pleased to know that they’ve got some new features including a full scale set of Joey and Chandler’s apartment, original memorabilia from the iconic show and new fan experiences.

Here are the locations where the festival will be taking place and we fully expect plenty of acoustic versions of Smelly Cat to be played.

Hillsborough Park, Sheffield – 7th July – 16th July
 Bute Park, Cardiff  – 21st July – 30th July
Heaton Park, Manchester – 4th August – 13th August
Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire – 18th August – 27th August
Hylands House, Essex – 1st September – 10th September
Clissold Park, London – 15th September – 24th September

Throw those jazz hands up in the air and get excited!
