Music and travel are two words that get millennials pumped; so Contiki seems to have made a very smart move with the launch of its brand new product, Contiki Sounds.
Yep! Just this morning Contiki has launched two new itineraries taking guests to one of the world’s biggest music festivals: the UK’s Reading Festival.
Reading Festival, is the longest running festival in existence and features everything from rock and indie to R&B and hip-hop.
This year’s headline acts will include Fall out Boy, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Dua Lipa, Kings of Leon, Diplo and more.
The new tours will have extra music experiences included as well the chance to see some of the UK’s top destinations.
Choosing Reading Festival with Contiki also eliminates the hassle and stress which can come with trying to score festival tickets before they sell out.
Ok, so down to business. Here are the two brand spanking new itineraries:
Contiki Sounds – 7 Days
Departing from London, this trip will head to Oxford, Bath and Bristol, before reaching the main Reading festival event. On route, travellers will have the chance to do some Banksy spotting in Bristol, stop off at Winsor Castle and explore the beautiful city of Oxford.
Trip Dates 21 August 2018 – 27 August 2018.
Contiki Sounds – 10 Days
Departing from London, the 10-day Contiki Sounds trip will visit UK destinations including York, Cambridge, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff, before heading to the gates of Reading Festival. On-route experiences a visit to the Cavern Club – home of the Beatles in Liverpool, an Oasis walking tour in Manchester and delving into Birmingham’s legendary rock music past.
Trip Dates 18 August 2018 – 27 August 2018.
Tickets are already on sale and lead in at $1,285. Book before February 28 2018 to save $300 off flights and 7.5% off the new itineraries.
Doing a festival as part of a Contiki tour means revellers can be dropped off at the festival gates by coach.
Once travellers arrive at the festival they will be based in the best location, where they can find premium tents complete with air mattresses and sleeping bags, plus a VIP pamper zone decked out with hair dryers, straighteners and mirrors, private showers and toilets, unlimited phone charging stations and breakfast included every morning.
“We’re proud to be going to Reading Festival and showcasing England’s significant music history with a wealth of unforgettable travel experiences which cater to our travellers needs.”
