EFestivals


eFestivals is a website listing music festivals; hosting information on line-ups, interviews, photographs and live reviews.
The website boasts an active discussion board with over 225,000 registered users, which now runs on a separate server from the main website due to its popularity. A 'gold membership' is available for £18 per annum, which prevents third party websites from being displayed while using the site.
In May 2019, eFestivals launched an appeal for donations to help cover the website's running costs and to secure the future of the website. The fundraising target totalled £42,000 per annum.

History

The website was launched in 1998 as "The Original Glastonbury Website", and was adopted by Glastonbury Festival as the official website for the 1999 event. In 2000, eFestivals was launched to cater for multiple festivals, and has been cited as bringing attention to smaller-scale festivals.
In 2007, sister website eGigs.co.uk was first registered, which mirrors the format of eFestivals but relates to individual gigs rather than festivals.
